==Controversies==
===Feud with KSI===
On 1 May 2020, RiceGum appeared on DramaAlert to talk about his beef with KSI.RiceGum says KSI is "PETTY" & Ex Abby Rao EXPOSED! ( INTERVIEW ) Leafy & Katerino ? Rice explained that he wanted a free ticket from KSI to attend the boxing match against Logan Paul. So he accepted a free ticket from Paul, and a "petty" KSI then unfollowed Rice on social media and deleted their video.Ricegum explains his beef with “petty” KSI caused by Logan Paul rematch KSI would respond to Rice in a video titled "Ricegum says he makes better music than me..."Ricegum says he makes better music than me... To start things off, KSI reacted to the unfollowing claims by showing that he hadn’t actually unfollowed Rice on everything something he quickly fixed by unfollowing Rice’s Twitter. Then, in response to the claim that he re-uploaded the "Earthquake" video just for the views, he simply decided to show how little he cares by sharing his screen and deleting the video permanently. While Rice believed the Paul invitation to be the source of why KSI unfollowed him, JJ explains that it was actually caused by two disses: a line from his "DaAdult" track and a quote from his podcast appearance, in which he asserts "I feel like my songs are better than [KSI’s]."RiceGum - DaAdult (Official Music Video) Rice cited that, when asked about splitting the earnings, he told KSI “Just keep it, man. I don’t even want anything … just give me a feature back.” KSI says this is nonsense, and that he’s "pretty sure" the split was “50-50,” that the YouTuber "got paid for the track" and is "still getting paid for the track."KSI hits back at Ricegum and accuses him of lying about earnings
In June 2021, KSI uploaded a video titled "RICEGUM IS SO SALTY",RICEGUM IS SO SALTY in the video he reacted to Rice targeting his girlfriend "You guys date normal girls. It’s a waste of clout. You might as well turn up." KSI questioned the "waste of clout" comment, saying that Rice himself is a waste of clout and that the comments are "so weird." He adds: "I really hope people don’t have this mentality when it comes to their significant other, man." clarifying that women aren’t just trophies to be 'shown off'. Following these comments in the clip, Rice decides to watch KSI song "Holiday", which had reached number two in the official UK charts. Within about three seconds of the song starting, Rice says that it’s "trash" and accuses KSI of "buying views." KSI retorts that it’s no wonder RiceGum "is dead when it comes to music. You wouldn’t know good music if it hit you in the face." KSI goes on to confirm that he is a platinum recording artist, something Rice believes he holds over KSI and even mocks Rice's "dead" song streams on Spotify.KSI hits back at RiceGum’s “weird” comments about his girlfriend and music career
===Save the Kids Crypto Scam===
In June 2021, RiceGum along with members of FaZe Clan were influencer ambassadors for a crypto non-fungible token called Save the Kids (KIDS) which was marketed as a charity token meant to give a percentage of the transaction fee to the Binance Charity Wallet. The token was then pumped and dumped by many of the ambassadors and the token's value quickly crashed shortly after when it was released.A look into a failed influencer deal to promote a cryptocurrency
===Beef with LeafyIsHere===
On July 12, 2023, Keemstar dropped a major hint involving a possible boxing match between RiceGum and LeafyIsHere in the upcoming KSI-run Misfits 008 Boxing event. On Twitter, Keemstar released a video starting with LeafyIsHere delivering a brief rant, hinting that RiceGum's actions have made him feel insecure about his Asian heritage despite the latter himself being Asian-American. LeafyIsHere further stated that RiceGum has been unresponsive to his phone calls and even owes him money, although this was possibly meant as a joke.
During a recent stream with Adin Ross, RiceGum openly expressed his lack of intention to rebuild a friendship with LeafyIsHere. Keemstar made a phone call to RiceGum and discussed the ongoing conflict, to which he expressed his openness to the idea of a fight against Leafy. Keemstar took it further by contacting Leafy to relay RiceGum's message. Upon receiving the message, Leafy also expressed his willingness to fight with RiceGum and called him a "race traitor." Although Keemstar mentioned that the fight between Leafy and RiceGum may not be officially sanctioned, he ended the video by dropping a hint for fans to keep an eye out for the Misfits 008 event scheduled to take on July 22.Keemstar hints at possible RiceGum vs LeafyIsHere boxing match at KSI’s Misfits 008 event
