The mosque KSI visited was reportedly the Al-Hikam Institute in Bradford, West Yorkshire, and KSI was pictured listening attentively to the Iman.
His visit reportedly took place last night (April 4), with multiple angles catching KSI (real name JJ Olatunji) at the mosque.
People were skeptical over KSI's appearance at the mosque, with some calling it a PR stunt, or if it was genuine.

KSI released an apology after he received lots of backlash from fans for saying the racial slur and said: "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.
"Im 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."
