I was watching some anime and realised that some character says わから **ね** いし
instead of わから **な** いし. Is this just a slur kind situation where they change
it so it's easier to pronounce, like how native speakers often say して **ん** の
rather than して **る** の. (Also this is just my understanding might also be
wrong)

One more thing, why do they add the **し** at the end?

question
words adjectives anime conjunctions particle-し
わからないし vs わからねいし
You may have heard a result of /ai/-to-/ee/ conversion described in the
following questions (it's pronounced like ねえ (ねー), not ねい):

  * [What does こまけー mean?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/3746/5010)
  * [What is じゃねぇか? What is its original form?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/18454/5010)

し is a non-exhaustive reason marker. Depending on the context, it may work
just like "you know" or sentence-final よ.

  * [What is the し particle and how do you use it?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/13397/5010)
  * [Are there various ways to use ~し?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/1361/5010)
