PAFarage previously criticised some of Pasa’s videos, saying: "The guy's name is Mada Pasa, he has been living in Stockholm, he clearly wants to be a big star on TikTok, he wants to become an influencer.
"Perhaps he thinks his chances are better coming to the United Kingdom and doing it here."
It prompted an angry reaction from the TikToker who posted a video in response saying: "English man Nigel (Pasa). Don't talk s**t about me. You not know me.
"I come to England because I want to be married with your sister. Don't talk about me more. Delete the video. It is not good my friend, you do not know me. I am going to come to England..."
It comes after a migrant has died while trying to cross the English Channel as 30,000 are believed to have arrived in the UK after making the journey so far this year.
Around 15 people were rescued after they fell into the sea while trying to join a boat off the coast in the Calais region, between Hardelot and Equihen-Plage a spokeswoman for the French coastguard said, while witnesses described seeing a baby in the water.
