KSI responds to outrage over Slowthai NME Awards scandal comment KSI, YouTube \/ Slowthai, TwitterYouTube star KSI has clarified his Twitter comment regarding British rapper \u201cSlowthai,\u201d after the music artist made overtly sexual remarks toward comedian Katherine Ryan at the NME Awards. Slowthai, legal name Tyron Kaymone Frampton, became a subject of controversy across social media due to an incident in which he embraced Ryan on stage and asked her to \u201csmell his cologne,\u201d eventually spiraling his bit out of control. \u201cBabygirl, I don\u2019t want to have to do this to you right now, but everybody\u2026 she needs to understand the levels right now,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2026If you want to do something, see me later.\u201d https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=chGFNYzJlsY That\u2019s not all: Frampton later claimed that Ryan wanted him to \u201ctend her flowers\u201d in a later segment, which the comedian brushed off with a humorous, \u201cYou are younger than my babysitter.\u201d The situation quickly caught fire across the net, and KSI was one of the many faces to comment on the matter, as he was also an attendee of the awards ceremony. \u201cSlowthai you crazy motherf**ker,\u201d KSI wrote with a few laughing emojis. The YouTuber\u2019s comment didn\u2019t go unnoticed by critics, with one user, in particular, calling out the content creator for appearing to condone Slowthai\u2019s inappropriate behavior. \u201cA man harasses a woman on stage & gets called a \u2018crazy mother****er,\u2019\u201d radio host Andrea Zara replied. \u201cYo @KSIOlajidebt do better. I\u2019ve seen the video\u2026 It\u2019s not funny OR acceptable.\u201d A man harasses a woman on stage & gets called a ”crazy mother****er\ud83d\ude02” Yo @KSIOlajidebt do better.

Last night he was out of order and should definitely be punished for it. Hopefully, he learns from his mistakes for the future, because he does still have a bright future ahead of him.\u201d If you think that\u2019s me condoning his actions then you\u2019re wrong.

(2\/2) katherine, you are a master at your craft and next time i\u2019ll take my seat and leave the comedy to you. to any woman or man who saw a reflection of situations they\u2019ve been in in those videos, i am sorry. i promise to do better. let\u2019s talk here. \u2014 TYRON (@slowthai) February 13, 2020 With KSI also standing as a massive face in the UK music scene, it comes as little surprise that he had something to say on the subject, although he made sure to distance himself from remarks that Slowthai himself also deemed as \u201cshameful actions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
