On January 13, he released his video “A JAPANESEGAMEDOUBT (-18)”. It was a special day, and that this video was about a sexual game, that its audience of 8 to 13 years did not appreciate. So he made a message under the video that no longer appears: "Decidedly between this video and that of yesterday many people are indignant for not much! It’s quite tiring. Let it be clear: The game is totally wtf and certainly not suitable for young people from 8 to 13 years old but … Who said that I made videos for 8-13 years old? I make above all videos for myself and to please me, if it makes me laugh to show a wtf game like this so I do it! And if I think it is too “hardcore” for children then I put a “-18” in the title like that here they are warned and it’s the responsibility of the parents to watch what their children are watching, which is said, very quickly in a next video! This message said he was making videos for himself, not for his audience, and it’s up to parents to watch what their kids are watching. Nevertheless, he apologized in his next video for shocking many of his audience. He explained that he was against the principle of the game, and that he fought every day against it without talking about it in his videos to try to make the world a better place.

After watching the preview of videos, he found these videos not funny and not pleasant to watch because he did not have fun turning them. What prompted him to release a video where he says he arrives at a stage where he does not want more constraints and unnecessary pressure by winning 4 videos a week, to be happier and make better videos. But it felt already for a few weeks, with the increase in the number of featurings. Because shooting videos with other people, it was funny as videos to shoot, and for him, it’s related. If he’s having fun shooting a video, people will have fun looking at her!

On November 4, 2017, he welcomes his new dog, Natsu, a shiba inu from Japan. He is “gaga” of this dog as he mentioned.
