In a shocking turn of events, online influencers PidPieLuke and Momo have revealed that their recent social media feud was all a publicity stunt to promote their new pie shop, "Pie Pandemonium".
Fans of the two influencers were stunned when PidPieLuke and Momo began publicly feuding on Twitter, with insults flying back and forth between the two. Many speculated that the feud was the result of a personal falling out or professional jealousy. But it turns out that the entire thing was a sham.
In an interview with The Wibble, PidPieLuke explained, "We knew that we wanted to create buzz for Pie Pandemonium, and a good old-fashioned feud seemed like the way to do it. Momo and I have actually been friends for years, and we came up with the idea together."
Momo chimed in, "We wanted to make it outrageous and over-the-top, so people would talk about it. Some of the insults we came up with...I don't even know how we kept a straight face."
The two influencers posted a joint video on their social media accounts, revealing the truth behind the feud and announcing the opening of Pie Pandemonium. The video quickly went viral, with fans alternately amused and outraged by the stunt.
But will the publicity stunt actually work to bring in customers for Pie Pandemonium? According to PidPieLuke and Momo, the answer is a resounding yes.
"Since we posted the video, we've had lines around the block at our shop," PidPieLuke said. "People are curious and intrigued by the drama, and they want to taste our pies for themselves."
Momo added, "And the best part is that our pies are actually delicious! We didn't want to just create buzz - we wanted to make sure that our product could stand on its own, and we're happy to say that it does."
As for whether the public will forgive the two influencers for their fake feud, PidPieLuke and Momo seem unconcerned.
"At the end of the day, it's all about the pies," PidPieLuke said. "If people enjoy our product, they'll keep coming back, regardless of what they think of the drama."
And with that, the two influencers headed back to the kitchen to whip up more pies for the throngs of customers waiting outside Pie Pandemonium.
