The British YouTuber recently came under fire for using the slur \u201cP*ki\u201d while playing a satirical version of Countdown for the Sidemen YouTube channel. After backlash from fans and other content creators, KSI gave a formal apology, saying: \u201cI wanna apologize for saying a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video. \u201cThere\u2019s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn\u2019t have said it and I\u2019m sorry\u2026I\u2019ve always said to my audience that they shouldn\u2019t worship me or put me on a pedestal because I\u2019m human.\u201d KSI also announced that he would be taking a break from social media because of his recent mess-ups, a promise that he has kept so far. KSI visits mosque to educate himself After the controversy, fans and content creators called on KSI to take the issue seriously, with Jake Paul telling him that he needed to give back to the community he had hurt. It seems that KSI has taken this advice to heart, because he was seen visiting mosques in Bradford and speaking to community members in an effort to educate himself on issues facing the Pakistani community, and to apologize for what he said in person. KSI didn\u2019t bring any cameras to film the visit, and didn\u2019t publicize it in any way, but other people in the area recognized him and posted about it on social media. In one video, one of the people in the mosque can be heard explaining to others why KSI is there. \u201cIt\u2019s part of learning. He\u2019s here to learn. He\u2019s never been in a mosque before\u201d \u201cIt wasn\u2019t said with the intention of malice. They didn\u2019t understand. But it was ignorance.\u201d The Sidemen also put out a statement apologizing for the event, saying: \u201cWe accept that it was completely unacceptable and inexcusable. The 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 and updates on KSI and the Sidemen, check out our coverage here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI visits mosque to educate himself after racial slur controversy YouTube: LADbible TVKSI was seen visiting a mosque in the UK to apologize and learn from his mistakes after he used a racial slur in a recent Sidemen game show.
