Alright so this morning I opened Twitter and boom – KSI’s name was everywhere. Again. Trended with the word “controversy” stuck to it like glue. Thought to myself, “Here we go another Twitter fire to put out.” Grabbed my coffee and dove right in.
The Head-Scratching Start
First thing I did? Searched KSI’s actual Twitter handle. Mistake number one. The real chaos wasn’t on his main account at all. Saw folks screaming about some old tweet resurfacing. Took me twenty minutes of scrolling through quote tweets and fan wars before I found the actual problematic post. Twitter’s search function? Useless.
Piecing Together the Mess
Decided to map out the timeline:
-
• Step one: Found the original controversial tweet screenshots circulating.
• Step two: Realized people were dragging up stuff from like THREE YEARS AGO.
• Step three: Dug into replies – saw fans BLASTING him while others defended like crazy.
My Notes app looked like a detective’s murder board at this point. Connections everywhere.
The Facepalm Moment
After an hour? Realized the core issue wasn’t even the old tweet. Nah. It was KSI’s garbage apology attempt that gasoline on the fire. Dude posted some half-hearted “sorry if u were offended” nonsense that made people ANGRIER. Saw one reply go viral: “If your apology contains the word ‘if’, scrap it and start over.”
Took three separate tries before he finally posted something that didn’t sound like his PR team wrote it with their eyes closed. Even then? People were still side-eyeing him.
Why I Even Bothered
Honest truth? Almost closed the app and ignored it. But that’s the thing with internet drama – it’s like watching a car crash in slow motion. Can’t look away. Ended up wasting my whole morning when I should’ve been editing videos. The takeaway?
Never trust old tweets to stay buried.
Always write apologies like a human actually wrote them.
Delete Twitter when big drama drops unless you wanna lose 4 hours of your life.
There you have it. My Monday morning sucked into the KSI vortex. At least I finished my coffee before it went cold. Small victories.
