But this statement led to a fight between KSI and Wade, and reportedly the sports commentator was removed from the Misfits panel following the turmoil.
KSI got pissed because Wade said that Tommy vs Jake 2 would sell more than Jake vs KSI. And fired Wade from his commentary job at Misfits because of it. Although Wade was their best commentators.

A few people on Twitter came forward posting a supposedly deleted post by KSI that shows the star ranting against Wade Plem. These deleted Tweets were pointing toward some harsh statements that KSI said about Wade. He was seen calling the commentator ‘fake’ and ‘snake’ in these posts.
LOL @KSI is such a baby!! @WadePlem made a video and said things about KSI that he didn’t like, so he throws an absolute hissy fit

Following these statements by KSI, Jake Paul tweeted in support of Wade. Jake was calling KSI ‘insecure’, adding further spice to their hatred for each other.
Such insecure clowns. Wade is quality. Plays it down the middle. Says things about me I don’t like, but that just means he’s keeping his opinions real. Now back to my vacation.

KSI later released a statement justifying his statements and admitting that he did so in a fit of anger.
Though JJ apologized for his outburst, it seems like many are not satisfied with his justification.
Twitter users take a dig at JJ following this outburst
Many Twitter users were seen voicing against KSI for making such statements. They were blaming the rapper/boxer and criticizing the star for firing Wade.
What wade said wasn’t even bad. He said that Jake Paul Vs Tommy Fury rematch outsells KSI fight. Regardless of your opinion, it’s super minor and just an opinion
Ridiculous scenes

KSI’s manager just told @WadePlem to “have fun on Kingpyn” insinuating that Wade is fired from Misfits now
What a joke
— Kavos (@KavosYT) March 20, 2023
I was kinda hype for you and Jake but ever since Jake fought Fury, I’d be more interested in the rematch than you and Jake tbh.
Maybe because the tension isn’t high as of yet but people get sick of waiting and it’s been a while now. People get fed up of being hopeful.
