Vovan & Lexus Say YouTube Could've Blocked Their Channel Over Prank Call to George W. Bush
12:01 GMT 09.06.2022 (Updated: 12:29 GMT 09.06.2022) The Russian duo has become famous on a global level for their pranks on celebrities and politicians. In the past, they have managed to trick Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, UK Home Secretary Priti Patel, US special envoy Nikki Haley, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, and Ukrainian Presidents Petro Poroshenko and Volodymyr Zelensky, among others.
Russian prankster Vladimir Kuznetsov (Vovan) stated that YouTube blocked Vovan & Lexus' channel. He said that the reason behind this could have been their latest prank call to former US President George W. Bush.
He said that the channel was created after the previous one was deleted about a month before.
"Apparently, no one really knew about this one [their backup channel], and when they found out about it, they decided to ban it also without explanation, they simply wrote that it was violating some rules", Kuznetsov said. "Maybe it happened because of the prank with Bush, because we just posted the original in English and it was watched a lot on YouTube by the English-speaking audience. Maybe it was deleted just because of this, because of Bush. Quite possible". He said that the channel was created after the previous one was deleted about a month before.
