The debate kicked off after entertainment blogger Kreative Kornerr took to Instagram on Friday, 8 August 2025, and shared content of Lasizwe and Ghost Hlubi taking playful jabs at each other. The post was captioned:

“With both @lasizwe and @ghost.hlubi sitting at 1.12M subscribers, who do you think is the king of YouTube in South Africa? 📹🔥”

In a video, Lasizwe made fun of Ghost Hlubi when former Piano Pulse co-host Munaka asked him who he thought was the biggest YouTuber between him and the prankster. Lasizwe shaded Ghost Hlubi, saying:

“Oh gosh. We’re not shooting on cell phones here.”

In response, Ghost Hlubi took screenshots of his and Lasizwe’s subscriber counter and bragged that he’d made the same progress while shooting content with cell phones. Ghost Hlubi responded:

“Did it off a self phone goofy (sic)”

khethiwe_twala argued:

“Lasizwe for me🔥yes, they have the same subscribers, but Lasizwe has fewer videos. So, can you imagine if he had the same videos as Ghost, he would have more subscribers than Ghost.”
