―Ali Koca |
Ali Fuat Koca[1] (born: May 28, 1995 ),[2] formerly known online as Husky Muscles, is a Turkish-Canadian YouTuber known for his commentary videos.
Content[]
Ali's most notable videos are his shorts, though he also uploads long-form content. His short-form videos are mainly commentary-based and often examine stories of recent news and events that occur on the internet and in real life. His long-form videos mainly consist of vlogs and longer commentary videos. He often criticizes and comically insults other content creators, social media influencers, and people in general in his commentary. Examples of these include Mizzy, Andrew Tate, P. Diddy, Drea De Matteo, SunnyV2,[3] Kanye West, Fidias,[4] Jack Doherty, and Elon Musk,[5] Pokimane,[6] and SSSniperWolf.[7] He also occasionally uploads comedy skits
Ali's livestream content usually consists of him answering questions from his live chat messages and talking with his concurrent viewers, watching videos and shorts from YouTubers and rating their style and quality of content, and gameplay from video games such as Rocket League and Outlast.
Ali also chooses topics that his subscribers comment in donations to talk about in some of his shorts.
History[]
Ali created his YouTube channel on October 10, 2019, originally under the name Husky Muscles.[8] He started to upload videos on May 14, 2020. Ali uploads shorts on real-life stories, worldwide and internet news, and recent events, and also showing his appreciation towards his audience. He can also be found doing skits on his TikTok account named huskymuscles. On November 6, 2022, Ali broadcasted his first livestream on YouTube.[9] He reached 1 million subscribers on November 11, 2022.[10] He has continued to occasionally livestream, usually during weekends.
Channel hacking[]
On March 26, 2024, Ali's channel was hacked by a company pretending to be Ripple, a cryptocurrency service, who re-branded the channel completely to match their business, privating all of his content except for community tab posts.[11] As it was taken over, two livestreams started almost immediately, showing a live feed of a scam giveaway for their crypto "XRP". He later announced on his Twitter account that the channel had been hacked and that he was working with YouTube to regain access to it.[12] The day after, the channel was successfully recovered and all of its uploads became public again.
The following day, on March 27, Ali's channel was falsely terminated because of the hack. The channel has since been reinstated and Ali has regained access, rebranding the channel back to its original state and unprivating all videos. He uploaded a 20-minute-long video discussing the situation.[11]
Controversies[]
Comments on DogPack404[]
On July 30, 2024, Ali uploaded a video titled "Hating On MrBeast Is Now A Business". In the video, he criticized DogPack404 for making allegations of fraud against MrBeast, calling DogPack a "nasally inbred-looking little bitch" and claiming that the allegations he made were "unproven". Ali also claimed that DogPack was a "clout-chaser", and defended MrBeast for his philanthropic contributions.[13] This video was poorly received by viewers, with many commenters criticizing Ali's use of ad hominem attacks against DogPack and his praise of MrBeast.
On August 1, 2024, Ali uploaded a follow-up video titled "You Can't Beat These Idiots But You Can Use Them". In this video, he asserted that his preceding video on DogPack was his "honest opinion" and dismissed his critics as "parasitic shit-diggers". Ali went on to say that his goal was to receive more ad revenue and virality from the "Hating On MrBeast Is Now A Business" video, which he seemingly achieved.[14] However, Ali continued to receive backlash from these two videos, and various commentary YouTubers went on to make videos about him.
Feud with Cococrazy[]
On September 4, 2024, commentary YouTuber Cococrazy uploaded a video titled "How the Youtube Creep Ali Koca Lost 98% of his audience".[15] In the video Coco talks about Ali's commentary about the Dogpack404 allegations against Mr Beast and how unprofessional Ali's video was and that he doesn't do research or watch videos before making a response. Along with Ali's response to the backlash his original video gained, calling his viewers "Shit-diggers" and how he made these people "His Bitch". Coco then goes on about a video by Dr.SonicV2 where Sonic calls Ali a pedophile after a video of Ali surfaces online about Ali's sexual experience with a sex worker in Thailand that may have been a minor.[16] Coco goes out of her way to say this is most likely not true and doesn't want to jump to a serious allegation that there's no proof for. Coco ends the video with a summary that "Ali is a little creepy and he thinks he's way above his audience". The following day Ali Koca commented on Cococrazy's video stating:
- "It’s really not cool to be spreading lies and false information like this bud. You should make an updated video instead of a simple pinned comment. I’m calling you out, will you tell your viewers the truth instead of bullshitting them?". [15]
Ali then made a video "Addressing The Lies About Me" as a direct response to Cococrazy's video, claiming the sex worker was actually a 31 year old adult, however, Ali shows no proof of the sex worker being of age.[17] Ali also misgenders Coco many times in his video and the comments. Ali also made a comment on his video stating the following:
- "I honestly never expected anyone to make up such an egregious lie about me, it just shows what a disgusting human being that bottomfeeder really is.
- If you wanna judge me for getting a happy ending massage from an adult female that’s fine. But I’ll say it once again, I have never EVER had any kind of inappropriate relations with a minor and I never EVER will, RIGHT HAND TO GOD✋. I am staking my life on that promise.
- I’m heavily considering suing the idiot/idiots who made the video about this, I will guaranteed win the case because what he did is the definition of defamation. There are real life consequences to telling such disturbing lies. I expect an apology from this idiot/idiots for slandering my name for profit and clout in such a horrible manner. If I don’t get it I will sue them."
Ali also reiterated in a YouTube reply that he will sue Cococrazy for the video with charges of defamation. saying:
- "I didn't know about that video at all. I lost 98% of my followers huh? That's a complete lie which the dude[18] pulled out of his ass but definitely very clickbaity. I might sue him[18] too just cuz, defamation is defamation."
Cococrazy responded to Ali's response with "The Youtube Creep Ali Koca is THREATENING me"[19] (now titled "The Youtube Degenerate Ali Koca is THREATENING me" in which Coco states that she disagrees with Ali's allegation of defamation stating that all she did was "One, Say he's rude to his audience, Second, disagreed with a video calling him a pedophile, and Three, said he's very disrespectful towards women." However, Ali still wants to go through with the lawsuit because "The title was overexaggerated". Cococrazy has since changed the original video's title to "How the Youtube Creep Ali Koca Lost his Audience’s Respect" and later, "How the Youtube Degenerate Ali Koca Lost his Audience’s Respect".[15]
Starting on September 5, 2024, other YouTubers started to report on the situation, including Breone[20], sensitive soci3ty[21], and childsquish[22]. The same day Ali Koca made another response with the following statement:
- "Not even 24 hours since I addressed the false allegations and the liars are already crying and begging me not to sue them cuz they have everything to lose and they know that! They know they messed up and they messed up big time. Freedom of speech is one thing, what they said and did crossed a line of the most serious magnitude. I still haven’t decided whether or not I will be suing, I’m gonna keep talking to my lawyers and make a final decision in the upcoming days. The truth always prevails.
- For the idiot who started this false accusation: if you didn’t wanna be sued then you shouldn’t have broken the law. Welcome to the real world where there are very real consequences to telling such egregious lies and trying to destroy someone’s good reputation."[23]Coco responded to this with the following:
- "When did I beg you? Funny how you can’t admit you messed up, have the wrong person because you don’t have the attention span of a 6 year old. Yeah, go tell your “lawyers” you want to sue a 16 year old for saying you fell off 😂 what a pathetic loser"[24]
After 2 days Ali Koca responded to "The Youtube Degenerate Ali Koca is THREATENING me" with a comment saying:
- "You could've apologized for spreading such false and disgusting allegations. You're instead crying victim and still trying to further gain clout and keep the drama going longer. You are still completely making things up, even in this video and thumbnail are full of misinformation. I never threatened you or harassed you, that's another lie you're making up. You're digging yourself a deeper hole, you know that right?". However Ali deleted this comment after major backlash
Coco was very quick to respond to this stating:
- "@TheAliKoca I just realized you commented on my last video. “I never threatened you” YOU LITERALLY responded to a comment of my video and threatened to sue me 😭 (may have deleted it after the backlash) How tf is that NOT threatening? I know you’ll never apologize, but dude, I see you’re uploading two videos a day now bc your views are dying. Apologize.
- Also love how this guy thinks he’s this huge celebrity and I’m getting so much “clout” from him. Dude you make shorts, no one even knows who you are 😂 So you sueing me for saying you fell off or not? You didn’t hurt your reputation, you demolished it"
On September 9, 2024, Ali Koca made a new statement saying[25]:
- "Here is my final statement on the events that have transpired in the last few days. Read EVERY word carefully cuz I will not be talking about this again, that’s why this is as long as it is, there are MANY important points here so don’t miss any:
- I’m not gonna sue cococrazy, she’s not the one who started the disgusting false allegations about me. But I’m also absolutely not gonna apologize to her like so many of you are asking me to do, she spread that false information about me in her videos to gain clout. What she did was dirty and she knows that. Only after I called her out did she cut those parts with the fake news about me out of her videos. The fact that she changed the title of her video about me AFTER I called her out about misinformation further proves that. She fucked up and she knows she fucked up which is why she changed what she changed. In addition to all that, the videos she made about me were FULL of lies. Negativity sells and the more negative she was about me the more clout she gains. I’m not gonna apologize to someone like that because it’s not warranted. Stop spreading lies about me for clout and clicks kid.
- As much as she wants to play the victim, she is not the one who was wronged. When I’ve made mistakes in the past I’ve apologized (those videos are still up if you want to check them out.) I was the victim of a very egregious smear campaign. Me, not her. She’s nothing more than a simple cloutchaser who’s trying to make this whole thing about her. She’s crying victim cuz it gets her clicks and she wants to keep the drama going as long as she can. I am NOT the one who needs to apologize here, not even close. I’m not expecting an apology from her though, I don’t need it, she can keep that to herself. But I’ll accept a simple “thank you” cuz she gained tens of thousands of new subscribers ever since she talked about me. So you’re welcome kid. That’s what happens when you make me the subject of your videos, you get a lot of attention cuz I am a big and respected content creator, I have been for years. I got a new challenge for ya, keep my name out of your mouth and do your thing without using me to get clicks.
- As for the person who started the false allegations, I still haven’t decided how to proceed. I know exactly who it is as I’m sure some of you also know who. That person also changed the thumbnail and title of the video shortly after I debunked his bullshit but not before I screenshotted everything as evidence. The statute of limitations for defamation doesn’t expire until 3 years later so I got plenty of time to decide whether I wanna pursue legal action. I might decide to sue 2.5 years later or I might never sue, we’ll see what happens. I have the law on my side as I did nothing wrong. A very serious crime was committed against me and thankfully it didn’t stick, the truth prevailed and it will continue to prevail. It doesn’t matter if you’re 17, 25, 47, or 78, if you didn’t want to get into legal trouble you shouldn’t have committed the crime, that’s why we have the law and there are punishments for breaking it. If you’re a young person reading this that’s something you need to learn about the real world. DO NOT commit crimes and expect to get away with them, it will always bite you in the ass. Don’t be crying now cuz you might face real legal trouble, you weren’t sorry when you broke the law. You started this, not me. You had no issue trying to stain my good name but it failed. I have the most solid case in my hand against this worthless scum, this case is a granada. There are very real repercussions to spreading false information to damage someone all for personal gain, this isn’t a game. Now the ball is in my court, I decide what happens next and I have nothing but time to make my decision.
- I am not a bad person guys. As much as people online try to paint me as one using negative narratives, that’s not me. The people who talk about me online HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO I AM. They just wanna create drama and need to label people to fit their made up narratives. I am Ali Koca, plain and simple. I’m very open with my opinions and experiences as I have been for the last 5 years. People can disagree with my opinions and that’s ok, we have freedom of speech and we can agree to disagree. But freedom of speech doesn’t give you the right to fabricate lies out of thin air as has been committed against me.
- I wear who I am on my chest. I wouldn’t call myself a particularly nice person but I know I am a good person, I do fucking good things. Here is how good of a person I really am: I’ve had ZERO scandals of any kind since I started my videomaking career. I’ve made mistakes along the way as we all do but I’ve never intentionally lied to you guys, I’ve never tried to scam anyone, I’ve never messaged or interacted with anyone in an inappropriate manner, I’ve never bought or faked followers, I’ve never committed crimes against anybody else, I’ve never done these bad things which so many YouTubers and online personalities are guilty of these days. My videomaking history is still online for all to see. I have a good and clean name because I haven’t done anything to ruin it. In fact I am such a good person that people have to MAKE UP LIES ABOUT ME TO TRY TO GET IT TO STICK cuz their false narratives about me wouldn’t work if they told the truth. I’m too real and not afraid to voice my opinions and I will continue to be real because that is who I am. If you wanna learn more about me and who I really am, you should watch my videos and learn it directly from me, not from other people who are pulling shit out of their ass just to get clicks.
- I don’t expect people to stop talking about me in a negative manner because that’s not the world we live in. Certain people will continue to try to tear me down cuz they see me doing so well, it makes them feel insecure about themselves. So they have to resort to using my good name in negative contexts with misinformation to get their clicks. Don’t believe the negative bullshit you hear about me online, it’s not real. There will always be people talking shit and trying to drive the conversation in ways that benefit them and they don’t care what lies they have to tell to get there. But I will continue to upload daily as I have been doing, they can’t stop me from doing what I do.
- I have a life outside of Youtube, one that I’ve worked very hard to build. I’m not gonna let pure lies stop me from living my good life. I am fucking proud of the man that I am. I’m moving on with this new chapter of my life in Thailand with nothing but joy and happiness and will also be uploading weekly long form travel videos (I have already started that.) I am living my best life and will continue to entertain you guys as I always have. I LOVE what I do, that hasn’t changed, it’s why I’m still responding to comments on my videos 5 years in. But many people online are entertained by worthless drama and I don’t particularly care for that. I’m not a drama focused content creator, I’ve made more than 3,000 videos across Youtube and Tiktok. Less than 50 of them have been about anything drama related. That’s only 1.6%, which is nothing more than a small blip. The great people who have been watching my videos for the last 5 years don’t care for this dumb drama and I don’t either. Thank you to the Aligiance for supporting me, I have so much appreciation and gratitude for you and I will never EVER betray your trust. I will continue to entertain you.
- I am officially closing this stupid drama subsection of my life, this is the last time I will talk about this. It is gone and buried so stop trying to blow air up the dead horse’s ass and move on.
- Thank you for coming to my Ali talk, I wish you all the best and I hope you have a great rest of your day."
This statement was not taken too well as people called Ali out for all the flaws and problems in the response[26], along with the general consensus that Ali just wants to avoid apologizing to Cococrazy and his audience, and brag about how good of a person he is.
