“Can’t wait to hear why this is Hasan’s fault”: Internet reacts as Ethan Klein drops N-word on H3 podcast

Ethan Klein, the YouTuber, comedian, and host of the H3 podcast, is facing backlash from fans and netizens as he casually dropped the N-word in a recent podcast episode.

In the episode titled ''I'm being blackmailed'' Klein and other co-hosts of the show go through a reel of the former CEO of Kernel, Bryan Johnson. In the reel, Bryan can be seen wearing a leg brace and dancing on Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar at his Don’t Die Summit, which was held back in February 2025. As Ethan hums to the song playing in the reel, he drops the N-word, and a clip of this is circulating on social media.

This is what one of the netizens has to say about it, hinting sarcastically at Ethan's fans calling out Hasan Piker, a political commentator and streamer, for Klein's action.

''I can’t wait to hear why this is hasan’s fault''- said @multipleboneheads.
