In July 2023, Yong Yea apologized after a 2017 video of him resurfaced in which he defended the use of a racial slur in a conversation with PewDiePie. Yea stated, "Being ignorant about the word's full historical context, having heard it used in all kinds of ways from so many people around me growing up, I had ignorant notions about its usage. I knew it was racially derogatory, but I had seen so many people, among groups of people who were black and other races, who were friendly with each other, use it casually among themselves that I genuinely thought at the time that context can change the meaning of the word."
