JJ "KSI" has apologized to his fellow YouTuber Wade Plemons on Twitter, towards whom he has been caustic lately. For context, Wade had remarked that Jake Paul's rematch against Tommy Fury could earn more than JJ's fight against him. Seemingly offended by the comments, JJ made a series of scathing tweets. He posted an apology soon after, but fans found it insincere.
JJ has since posted a second apology on Twitter, clarifying that it had all been a misunderstanding. He wrote:
"Talked to Wade, and this time I’m actually sorry. Legit this whole thing has just been a big misunderstanding...I messed up completely."
