YouTube star Olajide "JJ," popularly known as "KSI," took to Twitter on November 27 to notify his followers that there was "no point trying to collect" the Amazon gift card giveaway in the latest Try Not To Laugh video.
The influencer shared a screenshot of the emails verifying that the Amazon gift cards had been claimed. KSI confirmed that neither he nor his associate Mo had claimed the giveaway prize.
He then suggested that the only person who had seen the video was someone at YouTube, who had potentially watched it to see if it should be "demonized."
A few moments later, the content creator shared another update, stating that he would track down the YouTube employee who allegedly claimed the gift cards. He continued further by saying:
"Bro just made 10K+ in Amazon gift cards."
