On Tuesday, the YouTuber and rapper, real name Olajide Olatunji, responded to criticism on Twitter, initially tweeting: “Hold up, people actually think I’m transphobic?” A fan then replied, pointing out a video in which he misgendered a trans woman and citing his past use of the word t****y, something they claimed he had “never apologised” for. What’s the correct term to use?” After he was corrected and told to use the term “transgender”, KSI thanked the Twitter user.
