You seem dense. If you watch the clip you can tell for yourself he didn't say it. OTHER PEOPLE who don't know the words heard it that way since it sounds similar enough to indica, especially when mumbled.

He apologized because even though he didn't say it, people thought he did and that was enough to offend people.

I'm REALLY struggling to see where the comment

Mainstream news makes up completely fake stories constantly

suggests he's agreeing with you that he did say it.

Not even a Ninja fanboy and this shit is so stupid. People feel the need to try to knock people down just because they're in a good spot and it's annoying as shit. Ninja has done other things that warrant negative attention, why bring up the obvious false one?
