KSI claims $10k of Amazon vouchers were taken by YouTube employee checking his video YouTube: JJ OlatunjiBritish rapper, YouTuber and entrepreneur KSI has claimed that over $10,000 in Amazon vouchers were mysteriously claimed ahead of a private video\u2019s publication, fuelling speculation that a YouTube employee may have redeemed them. KSI\u2019s non-YouTube ventures have been wildly successful, from his music to Misfits boxing to PRIME Hydration, founded alongside once nemesis Logan Paul. Plenty of KSI fans have also remained grateful that the superstar has not left YouTube behind, still regularly uploading to the platform on which he made his name. However, a \u2018Try Not to Laugh\u2019 video planned for 26 November was delayed and shrouded in controversy after $10,000 worth of Amazon gift cards were mysteriously redeemed ahead of the video\u2019s publication. As a result, KSI explained that he suspects a YouTube employee to have taken them, stating that the only people who saw the video ahead of its publication were himself, his editor Mo and a YouTube staff member who \u201cchecked\u201d the video. He said: \u201cWell\u2026No point trying to collect the gift cards in the latest TNTL. It\u2019s been claimed before the video is even out. It\u2019s not me, it\u2019s not Mo, the only person that\u2019s watched the video is someone at YouTube to check whether the video should be demonetised or not.\u201d Attached to the tweet was a screenshot of JJ\u2019s email account, showing a number of Amazon Gift Cards being redeemed. In a follow up tweet, KSI explained that he\u2019s determined to get to the bottom of it, saying whoever took the codes made over $10,000. \u201cImma find out who the person that works for YouTube is,\u201d he said, \u201ccos this ain\u2019t it. Bro just made 10K+ in Amazon gift cards.\u201d His editor, Mo Syed, responded similarly: \u201cVideo was supposed to be out today. But we delayed it til tomorrow coz of timings, so listed privately on Youtube. Next thing you know, CODES being claimed whilst video was \u201cmanually\u201d checked by Youtube.\u201d At the time of writing, YouTube have not responded to the allegations, nor has a resolution been forthcoming. The video was published early on November 27 instead. If you click on a product link on this page we may earn a small affiliate commission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
