Every person is responsible for their actions and words. If a person has a few followers on the internet, it becomes their responsibility to not spread any kind of hatred or malicious intent towards any community. That is what happened with the British YouTube sensation. Recently, KSI made his debut in the WWE, alongside his business partner, Logan Paul. He was dressed in a ‘Prime’ bottle outfit, while Paul was going against Seth Rollins. Nobody expected to see KSI amidst their fight at WrestleMania 39, so it made a lot of fans lose their minds when his identity was revealed.
But the recent Sidemen video may cost him some future collaborations like this. KSI had to accept that he committed a blunder where he did not think before blurting out something so irrational, and as a result, he decided to take a break from social media. Many fans appreciated that he accepted the truth and was upfront about his mistakes as it displayed the sense of responsibility that resides in him.

In the recent Sidemen Sunday video, KSI said something which cannot be deemed appropriate by many. He blurted out a racial slur in the video, and later he had to face the consequences as the segment was bombarded with a lot of backlashes. He then took to Twitter to apologize for dropping the ‘P word’ and how he wants to take a break from social media.
In his apology tweet, KSI wrote, “I wanna apologise for saying a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video. There’s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn’t have said it and I’m sorry.”
I wanna apologise for saying a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video. There’s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn’t have said it and I’m sorry.
I’ve always said to my audience that they shouldn’t worship me or put me on a pedestal because I’m human. Im not…

He even stated that he is a human being and he’s bound to mess up on a lot of occasions. So he doesn’t want his fans to put him on a pedestal and worship him. Instead, he wants them to look at him as a fellow human being.
Then he also said that recently he’s been making a lot of mistakes, and for that reason, he’ll be taking a break. When he said it, he may have referred to the whole Wade Plem drama on Twitter.
JJ was wrong about Wade Plem
Wade Plem who is the host of KSI’s boxing promotional company, Misfits Boxing, claimed that he doesn’t think KSI vs. Jake Paul will sell as many tickets as Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury did. This offended KSI who then fired Plem, which resulted in the former employee making a YouTube video, where he explained his reasons for why he said what he said.
