However, he also touched on the YouTube drama. When asked about it, he said: "I’m just staying out of it, minding my own business. I just moved into a beautiful new house. I have great friends around me."

Then when asked about Shane specifically, James added: "I don’t want to talk about anything relation to him.” As for if he should be forgiven, James said: "I think it should be looked at on a case by case basis and make sure that people are changing actively." He also confirmed that he hasn't spoken to Shane since the drama unfolded.
