After KSI publicly announced that he\u2019s stepping away from Twitter due to the rise of \u2018cancel culture\u2019 on the platform, the YouTuber has returned, saying he plans to use the app \u201cfrom time to time.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to drama, it\u2019s fair to say Olajide Olayinka \u201cKSI\u201d Olatunji has been through it all. From multiple boxing matches with various online personalities to a feud with BTS\u2019s army of fans, he\u2019s certainly no stranger to controversy and confrontation.<\/p>\n Despite having a massive reach on social media and over 6 million followers<\/a> on Twitter, the YouTuber announced on March 25 that\u2019s he\u2019d be leaving Twitter.<\/p>\n KSI has over 22 million subscribers on YouTube.<\/span><\/div>\n In an unexpected tweet, KSI announced that he\u2019d be leaving Twitter due to the prevalence of cancel culture on the platform. This is no doubt in part a response to the backlash he received after being accused of making transphobic jokes during a Jackbox stream.<\/p>\n He voiced his opinion that the platform as a whole has changed for the worse in recent years.<\/p>\n \u201cTwitter used to be an amazing place where you could connect with people\u2026 now it\u2019s just full of pretentious people that are ready to cancel & destroy your legacy for breathing incorrectly.\u201d<\/p>\n Twitter used to be an amazing place where you could connect with people in different communities & communicate without any problems. <\/p>\n Now it\u2019s just full of pretentious people that are ready to cancel & destroy your legacy for breathing incorrectly.<\/p>\n And on that note, I\u2019m out \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udfff<\/p>\n \u2014 LORD KSI (@KSI) March 25, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Although the announcement came as a shock to a lot of KSI\u2019s fans, his previous tweets did suggest he was growing tired of the platform.<\/p>\n Just hours before his departure, he posted a tweet that labeled PewDiePie as \u201cahead of the curve\u201d for leaving Twitter back in 2019.<\/p>\n Now I understand why Felix left twitter. Man was ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n \u2014 LORD KSI (@KSI) March 25, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n KSI doubled down on his claims and elaborated on the reason behind his decision in a follow-up YouTube video.<\/p>\n \u201cI just think it\u2019s crazy that the standard people have over [on Twitter], especially with people who are well known or famous,\u201d he said. \u201cThey expect you to be perfect [and to] literally [make] no mistakes [or have] no problems ever as if we\u2019re not human.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPlus, Twitter is just so negative. It\u2019s so depressing looking down the timeline [and] just [seeing] people complaining about sh*t left, right, and center and just hating the world. Why would I remain on an app that depresses me even more?\u201d<\/p>\n While many assumed that the YouTuber had left Twitter for good, he surprised everyone when he returned on April 3. \u201cWho missed me?\u201d he wrote.<\/a> KSI addressed his return by saying, \u201cThis app is still super dry but I\u2019ll just use it from time to time.\u201d<\/p>\n This app is still super dry but I\u2019ll just use it from time to time<\/p>\n![\"KSI](\"https:\/\/www.dexerto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/25\/KSI-MUSIC-1.jpg.webp)
