I wanna apologise for saying a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video. There’s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn’t have said it and I’m sorry.

I’ve always said to my audience that they shouldn’t worship me or put me on a pedestal because I’m human. Im not…
KSI created the longest single word using the letters given to them when filming a spoof video with The Sidemen YouTube group. After completing KSI’s countdown challenge, he creates a four-letter word he considers to be offensive to South Asians and derogatory. The others in the group laugh off the word when he says it on camera. Sidemen has removed a video from its ch annel. KSI and The Sidemen both apologized separately for making a joke about a sensitive subject.
You’re the goat man. We all mess up. But you’re literally the blueprint for so many creators. You set the way. No need to take a break, But if that’s what’s best for you, then go ahead. We love you bro 👊🏾❤️

MANLIKEISAAC: Who Is He? Youtuber Reacts To The KSI’S Apology After The Recent Controversy
It seems KSI has taken a break from social media after racially slurring one of The Sidemen’s videos, while Manlikeisaac has publicly defended Internet fame, but who is he? An online boxer and YouTuber got into trouble for using a derogatory term that is considered extremely offensive to people of South Asian descent. The guy and his YouTube group even apologized for making fun of it on camera. In the midst of all the drama, Manlikeisaac called KSI the God of all time but said he didn’t have to stop posting to social media, which sparked reactions from irked fans. In addition to his comedy skits on different social media platforms, Manlikeisaac is a 22-year-old English YouTuber. In addition to over 3.3 million subscribers on YouTube, the comedian, whose real name has yet to be revealed, boasts more than 4.8 million subscribers on TikTok. In response to KSI’s apology for using a racial slur, he is currently trending on Twitter. On the controversy involving KSI, Manlikeisaac tweeted: You’re the goat man. We all make mistakes. But you are literally the model for a lot of other creators. You set the tone. There’s no need to take a break, but if that’s what works for you, go ahead. Bro, we love you. In contrast, Fans believe that Manlikeisaac should keep his head down and let KSI determine what’s best for him instead of getting involved in the drama.
YouTuber KSI’s placement on a pedestal isn’t getting the approval of everyone since he calls him a “Goat” despite being asked not to. KSI was filming a spoof video with The Sidemen YouTube group where they created the longest single word with the letters they were given. The four-letter word KSI creates during the countdown challenge is considered extremely offensive and a derogatory term for South Asians. The others in the group laugh off his use of the word on camera. The video has been removed from the Sidemen channel. A joke made by KSI and The Sidemen about a sensitive topic was apologised for separately by both groups. Even JJ has stepped away from social media. In any case, I apologize for saying what I did, no matter the circumstances. Due to the fact that I am human, I have always told my audience not to worship me or put me on a pedestal. As a human, I’m going to make mistakes; lately, I’ve made a lot of mistakes, KSI said. According to the Sidemen, this is completely unacceptable and inexcusable. Making light of the incident on the show was wrong and compounded the pain. We profoundly regret this and would like to apologize really.
