Apart from this, he also made some vulgar comments in the later part of the show. However, as the clips went viral and started drawing intense flak online, the YouTuber took to his X (formerly called Twitter) to share an apology. In the video he shared, he said his comments weren't just inappropriate; they weren't even funny.
He added that comedy is not his forte, and it was not cool on his part to say things that he said.
