Controversy[]
Feud with Keemstar[]
Tommy was a co-host of Keemstar's show Baited! where controversy began when Keemstar accused[7] Tommy of wanting a $5,000 USD raise for the show.
A few hours after this happened, Clown (another co-host) went on the show's Discord server. He claimed that he wanted there to be an even split for pay, going from Keem getting 50%, Clown 30%, and Tommy 20% to everyone getting 33% of the channel's revenue. Keemstar believed that he advertised the most and brought in the better episodes of the first season such as the Leafy and h3h3 podcasts, meaning he thought he was the most important figure in the channel and should therefore recieve a higher pay. Tommy also had a much smaller fanbase which was made mostly of Baited! fans so he couldn't bring in as many new people to watch the show, and also that most of his fame had come from this show[8]. Clown believed that tommy deserved an equal share regardless of how many viewers he brought to the show[9][10][11]. Keemstar, however, thought he was being manipulated and that they wanted to give him less credit for all the work he did for the show and that resulted in a large argument and the downfall[12] of Baited!.
