Singaporean YouTuber Sneaky Sushii has apologised in the wake of accusations that he had copied a smaller creator’s content.
The YouTuber, who has more than 700,000 subscribers, uploaded a video on Aug 30, 2025 titled “This horror film was so real, people reported it to the police”.
It was Sneaky Sushii’s take about a controversial Japanese horror film alleged to be a snuff film that showed scenes of actual homicide.
But last Friday (March 13), Denmark-based YouTuber Toni Vesdream said Sneaky Sushii’s video – which had 250,000 views – bore striking similarities to one he had earlier published in March 2025.
Vesdream, who has 45,000 subscribers, said that when he first came across Sneaky Sushii’s video, it rang a bell as he had also covered the same film before.
“I remember I spent about three weeks researching it. I had to read part of a book for it, and I even went on Japanese search engines to try to track down articles about it”, said Vesdream in his video last Friday.
