Critics are sounding off across social media against KEEMSTAR, pointing out his controversial interview with Etika prior to his death, in which Amofah claimed that he was the \u201cAnti-Christ\u201d and wanted to \u201cpurge all life\u201d from Earth. Others noted that KEEMSTAR went through with the interview despite fans urging him to \u201cleave Etika alone,\u201d with KEEMSTAR Tweeting, \u201csuck a dick\u201d in response to their concerns. Bruh and u say that u felt sorry for him.ROACH pic.twitter.com\/s0vh4HOqUp \u2014 Nikola (@VampireD456) June 29, 2019 The Drama Alert host finally spoke out on the matter in an episode on July 1, where he gave a similar message to critics blaming him for Etika\u2019s mental state. \u201cFor those of you saying I\u2019m trying to milk the situation like I milked it in the interview, please go fuck yourself,\u201d Keem said of the matter, going on to claim that, \u201cI really, really want to drag some of these people who used his death as a way to get back at me, but this one time, I\u2019m going to ignore it.\u201d [Timestamp: 6:50 for mobile viewers] Keem responded to the backlash in a series of videos on Twitter a day prior to his Drama Alert episode, where he claimed that Etika had been \u201cfine\u201d and had even wanted to guest star on the show \u2013 a proposition that led Keem to believe Etika\u2019s mental breakdowns were merely a publicity stunt. Etika\u2019s mother later sent Keem a lengthy text message responding to the drama, asking angry fans to divert their vitriol and calling for a \u201cbetter platform\u201d for mental health awareness. 500 This statement was backed up by Etika\u2019s ex-girlfriend and Twitch streamer Alice Pika, who had even organized a memorial for the YouTuber at the Manhattan bridge for his community.
