What happened between Emma and James?

According to a report on Distractify, both Emma and James unfollowed each other on Instagram in early 2019. In September 2019, James Charles had spilt some tea and made it clear that all was not good amongst the former “Sister Squad” members. This happened during one of James’ Instagram live streams. 

A fan reportedly commented saying that James needs to spend more time with Emma. To this James replied saying, “Uh, no. Not going to hang out with her.” However, it seems like the beef between the young YouTube stars had been ongoing for some time. In February 2019, 19-year-old Emma Chamberlain took to her Twitter and posted a tweet stating that she only followed 17 people on Instagram.
