KSI has visited a mosque in Bradford and apologised again for using a racial slur in one of his YouTube videos.The rapper, boxer, gamer and YouTube personality received backlash earlier this week, following a video of him with his group The Sidemen.
In the footage, KSI played a Countdown-style game with the group, and created a four-letter derogatory word for people of Pakistani origin.Following an initial apology, KSI has now used a boxing preview event to apologise again for the “hurt and disappointment” caused, and visited a mosque to “educate himself”.Shared to Twitter, the new footage shows the rapper – whose real name is Olajide William Olatunji – visiting Bradford’s Al-Hikam Institute, and “educating himself” on the impact of the slur.The clip, which has over 1.7million views, shows the 29-year-old wearing a red covering during the visit, and listening to Imam Muhammed Asim Hussain.In the footage, the Imam can be heard discussing KSI’s recent controversy.
He said: “With the intention of malice, even those probably sat on the side, they probably didn’t understand… they might have just been like laughed off.
