KSI recently found himself at the center of controversy after he used a racial slur during a Sidemen game show video, which fans quickly held him to account over. KSI then released an apology statement on Twitter, saying \u201cthere\u2019s no excuse, no matter the circumstances\u201d for what he said. He also said that \u201clately I\u2019ve been messing up a lot\u201d, and that he was going to take an extended break from social media as a result. But Jake Paul quote-tweeted the apology, saying that it wasn\u2019t good enough, and that KSI was \u201cfake\u201d. He said: \u201cFake guy with fake apologies every other week. I hope you take this more seriously than taking a break off social media so you can focus on training and then reappearing two weeks before your fight saying you\u2019re a new man. \u201cMeet with British South Asian community leaders, get with the right charities and give back. I made my own mistakes in my early twenties, but we are too old for this behavior. \u201cI look forward to knocking you the f*ck out on behalf of all South Asians around the world. You 30-year-old prick.\u201d KSI has frequently clashed with the Paul brothers amidst speculation that KSI and Jake could have a boxing match coming up. However, nothing has been confirmed yet, and KSI has claimed that Jake is \u201cscared\u201d of facing him in the ring. The Sidemen also provided a statement following the video where KSI used the slur, saying: \u201cIt was completely unacceptable and inexcusable. \u201cThe fact the incident was made light of on the show was wrong and compounded to hurt. We deeply regret this and would like to truly apologize. \u201cWe have reflected on this incident both collectively and individually and are truly ashamed that we let ourselves and you guys down in this way.\u201d For more news on KSI, check out our coverage of his Wrestlemania appearance with Logan Paul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Paul calls out KSI for using racial slur and accuses him of \u201cfake\u201d apology YouTube: Jake Paul\/Boxing SocialJake Paul has hit back at KSI\u2019s apology for using a racial slur in a Sidemen video, telling KSI that he needs to \u201ctake this more seriously\u201d.
