British YouTuber KSI has been seen visiting a mosque in Bradford, UK, days after he used a racial slur in a video.

Footage captured Abdul Wahab shows him greeting the 29-year-old YouTuber outside the Al-Hikam Institute on April 24.

KSI was forced to apologise after using a racial slur that is derogatory towards people of South Asian descent.

He later tweeted his apology: "I wanna apologise for saying a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video. There’s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn’t have said it and I’m sorry.

"I’ve always said to my audience that they shouldn’t worship me or put me on a pedestal because I’m human. I'm not perfect, I’m gonna mess up in life, and lately I’ve been messing up a lot.

"So I’ve decided I’m gonna just take a break from social media for a while."

Some viewers were not convinced by the YouTuber's actions.

One commenter said: "This KSI guy will do anything not to get cancelled."

Another wrote: "He went to a mosque over an ethnicity slur? And it happened to be an Islamic place of worship, sounds to me as a publicity stunt."
