KSI mocks yet another Jake Paul callout after Anderson Silva victory DAZNJake Paul celebrated his win over MMA legend Anderson Silva by once again calling out JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji and several others, and now the PRIME Hydration owner has fired off a response of his own. KSI and Jake Paul have been at each others’ throats for months now with the pair constantly going back and forth calling each other out. From boasts about records, talent, money, and everything in between, there has been no shortage of animosity in their exchanges. The rivalry only took one step forward after Jake Paul’s victory over Anderson Silva, where he once again took a big shot at his fellow influencer-turned-boxer, insisting that KSI “won’t fight me, especially after this fight.” Now KSI has responded and it seems like a clash between the two of them continues to become inevitable. KSI responds to Jake Paul’s post-Anderson Silva victory callout During Paul’s full shot at KSI, he went on to say that his most recent victory absolutely sealed the deal that Olatunji would never fight him because he believes the two of them are aiming at very different targets. “I’m trying to become a world champion, I don’t know what the f*ck that kid’s doing,” he claimed. Shortly after that clip started making the rounds, the Sidemen co-founder got a hold of it on Twitter and offered a clear mocking response to that idea. Olatunji didn’t have to write anything to get his point across, he simply replied with a clip of former Manchester United player Patrice Evra exclaiming “I love this game” while sporting a huge smile. While the pair’s former agreement to fight at Wembley may not come together as originally planned, KSI’s manager Mams Taylor has suggested that they will meet in the ring sometime in 2023. KSI wasn’t the only person who got a callout from the Problem Child though as both UFC legend Nate Diaz and boxing great Canelo Alvarez both got their own special tags from the now 6-0 fighter.

KSI mocks Logan Paul’s end of year video, calls him a “pussy” KSI, Logan Paul – YouTubePopular YouTuber KSI has finally reacted to Logan Paul’s emotional end of year video, giving a scorching response to his emotional 2018 recap. KSI uploaded a video on January 4, where he reacted to an assortment of random Vines and clips – including Logan Paul’s end of year statement. KSI broke into uproarious laughter at a snippet from Paul’s video, which appeared to have been taken just after their boxing match in late August of 2018. Logan gave a weepy embrace to his younger brother, Jake Paul, admitting that he was surprised at his emotional reaction. “Why is he crying?” KSI asked incredulously. “What a fucking pussy!” This isn’t the first time KSI has taken shots at Paul’s year-end videos, either; KSI threw shade at Logan’s 2017 recap video in a Tweet on December 31, mockingly quoting its closing statement after reflecting on his own experiences from 2019. KSI went on to poke fun at his brother Deji’s latest single, ‘No L’s,’ finding the song’s title ironic due to his current subscriber purge and loss to Jake Paul on the KSI vs Logan Paul card in 2018. 2018 has hands down been the greatest year of my life. Thanking my friends and enemies and you guys for your contribution towards it. 2019, I’m ready. And it’s so crazy because the scariest part is, the part that most people don’t understand…I’m just getting warmed up. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 31, 2018 “This song makes no sense,” KSI stated. “How can you make a song called ‘No L’s’ when, Deji, you’ve taken L’s? Don’t get me wrong, Dej, you’re dumb as fuck, but I love you, man.” The brothers appear to be reconciling from their previous feud, which began after Deji leaked KSI’s personal bank records during a diss track toward his cameraman, Randolph. Since then, the two have gone back and forth in a series of bitter arguments, which appear to be dying down in light of a statement made by their parents in late December.

KSI mocks potential opponent Dillon Danis’ claims “no one alive” can beat him YouTube: FLAGRANTKSI has mocked MMA fighter Dillon Danis’ claims that “no one alive” can beat him. British YouTuber, rapper and professional boxer KSI is looking to step back in the ring come January, and ‘The Nightmare’ has got a ton of opponents to pick from. The YouTube star has been linked to potentially fighting the likes of Tyron Woodley, Slim Albaher, or even Dillon Danis. ‘The Nightmare’ even made a bet with Dillon Danis in the event that they fight, which the loser having to shave their hair afterwards. Now, the two are continuing their Twitter feud. KSI sparks another Twitter feud with Dillon Danis In a September 17 tweet, the pro MMA fighter claimed that nobody in the world can beat him, he said: ” “Not a man alive that can beat me… not even on my worst day.” However, KSI hit back, mocking Danis and noting how he’s lost several fights in the past. “Has the bouncer died then,” he tweeted at Danis, along with an image of ‘Chance’ the bouncer who reportedly forced Danis into submission after he attempted to get into a bar with no identification. The YouTuber asked the same question again, as he sared a video of Danis being hit on the head repeatedly in a club. “Has this guy died too?” he wrote. Danis responded by poking fun at KSI’s hairline, claiming he could audition for a role in the movie Predator. “After i knock you out at least you can audition to play predator mate,” Danis tweeted. “That is the craziest hairline i have ever seen in my life.” Nobody knows if we’ll ever see the two step in the ring together. Nonetheless, it wouldn’t be out of question to assume that a fight announcement could be around the corner, with KSI looking to touch gloves again in January.

KSI mocks Logan Paul in savage New Year’s message KSI, Logan Paul – YouTubePopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji gave a subtle jab toward his rival Logan Paul in a shady New Year’s Tweet on December 31. KSI quoted Logan Paul’s end of year video from 2017 – which was uploaded just before Paul’s widely-criticised debacle in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest.’ Read More: Ninja’s plan to get New York flossing failed spectacularly during his New Year’s Eve stream – While KSI didn’t mention this incident directly, he made sure to address both his friends and his “enemies” for their part in his life duing 2018, finishing up his post with a quote from the tail end of Paul’s 2017 video. 2018 has hands down been the greatest year of my life. Thanking my friends and enemies and you guys for your contribution towards it. 2019, I’m ready. And it’s so crazy because the scariest part is, the part that most people don’t understand…I’m just getting warmed up. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 31, 2018 “2018 has hands down been the greatest year of my life,” KSI wrote. “Thanking my friends and enemies and you guys for your contribution towards it. 2019, I’m ready. And it’s so crazy because the scariest part is the part that most people don’t understand… I’m just getting warmed up.” Read More: Who will be Twitch’s biggest star in 2019? Fastest growing channels heading into the New Year – While Paul has yet to respond to KSI’s thinly-veiled shade, the Maverick did upload another end of year video describing his experiences from 2018, placing particular emphasis on the consequences of his actions in Japan. Paul described the experience, wherein he filmed the body of a suicide victim for a vlog, as “the perfect storm of circumstance, ignorance, ego, and downright stupidity,” likewise criticising his anti-suicide PSA shortly after the incident. KSI doesn’t appear to be pulling any punches, despite Paul’s reflective message. In fact, the two YouTubers are set to throw down in a boxing rematch on February 27, 2019 – if information from UK gambling sites proves correct.

KSI mocks Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather announcement Instagram: KSI / Logan PaulYouTube star and Logan Paul’s former boxing rival KSI has responded to the news that the eldest Paul brother and Floyd Mayweather will fight each other, and he doesn’t seem too convinced. Logan Paul and KSI’s boxing match in Manchester on August 25 2018 was a smash hit, the promotional material leading up to the fight garnering millions of views, the video of the fight itself almost at 25 million views on YouTube two years later. The match had so much attention that the pair returned in 2019 for a professional rematch in LA. YouTube boxing has proved to be a lucrative business, generating a huge amount of revenue, but also posing as a show of bravado when creators are involved in drama together. After rumors began circulating of a potential match between former pro-boxer Floyd Mayweather and Logan, American sports analyst Pat McAfee broke the news on September 16 that a “contract has been signed and a fight is happening.” A contract has been signed and the fight is happening@FloydMayweather vs @LoganPaul #PatMcAfeeShowLIVE pic.twitter.com/b3MwBzW0fR — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) September 16, 2020 However, former rival KSI didn’t seem particularly impressed with the news, posting on September 17 the message “My thoughts on Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul,” alongside a picture of a cap. This is in reference to the slang term “cap” which is another way of indicating a lie. KSI clearly doesn’t believe that the fight will actually happen, thanks to the unlikely pairing of the YouTuber and former professional boxer. My thoughts on Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul pic.twitter.com/H9amoCmi7K — ksi (@KSI) September 17, 2020 Floyd Mayweather has dipped in and out of retirement, most recently retiring in 2017 after beating fellow boxing star Conor McGregor, though has participated in a 2018 exhibition fight since then with kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa. So while it might seem unlikely that Mayweather would break his retirement just to fight Logan Paul, it might actually make more sense for him to do so due to his previous experience with exhibition fights. Regardless, KSI is not convinced by the news, and as the story develops it will become clear whether this fight will actually go ahead, or whether somebody will back out of the contract.

KSI mocks Gross Gore’s ridiculous response to boxing match request KSI, YouTube / Grossie_Gore, TwitchYouTube star ‘KSI’ may be known for his high-profile fights against other content creators, but his beef with Twitch streamer ‘Gross Gore’ might be taking a different turn from the boxing ring. KSI and Gross Gore’s internet feud dates back to November 2019, after the streamer begged Logan Paul to knock out his British opponent for their highly-anticipated rematch. In response, KSI asked Gross Gore to spar him a few days later, following his split-decision victory over his rival — and the streamer was quick to reply with a unique challenge. Goss Gore asked that KSI give him a three-month training period to beef up before a potential match against the YouTuber, bragging that he would “shut your f**king ego down.” However, three months have come and gone with no word of a sparring match between the two internet stars — until now. On March 2, KSI published a cheeky quote Tweet of Gross Gore’s heated video challenge towards him, writing, “Aite, it’s March. What’s up?” The streamer replied with yet another video in regards to KSI’s query, this time seeming to back down from his initial request for a fight and instead asking the YouTuber to fight one of his own kind — Jake Paul. My official response to you KSI regarding a fight between us. pic.twitter.com/JZgQXEB3Lt — Gross Gore (@Gross_Gorex) March 3, 2020 “Shouldn’t you be fighting f**king Jake Paul?” Gross Gore asked after spouting a spew of expletives. “…you’ve ignored me for f**king months on end, and now all of a sudden you come out of the blue and you want to fight me? Jake f**king Paul called you out to fight and you went, ‘I don’t fight anymore, I do music.’” The streamer’s video reply also included a wealth of other insults, including a jab at KSI’s rapping skills and claims that he needed other YouTubers to make him famous; but the object of his vitriol didn’t seem to be bothered by the matter. Instead, KSI hit back with a bemused reply, writing, “LMAO, your phone must be drenched in saliva after that. Don’t ever call me out again, you ****.” While his potential match with Jake Paul remains up in the air due to his tour and music schedule, it doesn’t look like this particular feud is going anywhere.

KSI mocks Jake Paul for challenging ‘deceased’ boxer YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Jake Paul / Amanda Westcott, SHOWTIMEYouTube star Jake Paul is calling out a slew of high-profile fighters for a potential future boxing match — but rival influencer KSI noted that one of Jake’s proposed opponents is deceased. Jake Paul has taken over the celebrity boxing trend, transitioning from full-time influencer to a professional boxer with an undefeated 4-0 record. After taking out Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren with a first-round knockout, Paul set his sights on former five-time UFC champ Tyron Woodley, winning the bout by split-decision. Now, Paul is set to face off against Tommy Fury… but, at one point, he called out Mexican boxers Javier Martinez and Hector Lopez. “Hector was ‘Tanks’ 8th opponent, came in 0-0 and retired 0-1,” Paul wrote in a pointed tweet on October 24. “Hector was an MMAer who was 2-0.” Lopez’s career should not be understated; the boxer represented Mexico in the 1984 Olympics and held both the WBC-NABF light welterweight title and the WBO-NABO light welterweight title, boasting an impressive pro record of 41-7-1. Unfortunately for Paul, Lopez passed away in 2011 — a fact that British YouTuber KSI couldn’t help but point out. 7-0 Fury doesn’t cut it for my 5th fight I’m fighting either Hector Lopez or Javier Martinez next!! Hector was “Tanks” 8th opponent, came in 0-0 and retired 0-1. Hector was an MMAer who was 2-0 Javier was Canelos 10th opponent, entered the fight 0-0 and retired at 0-1#Clowns — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) October 24, 2021 KSI mocks Jake Paul over Hector Lopez comment KSI called out Paul during a Reddit reaction video on November 3, where a user noted that Lopez had passed away ten years prior. “Ah,” KSI exclaimed. “Hector is dead. Okay. Might be quite hard to fight Hector Lopez if he’s in the ground. I guess you could still dig him up and fight him, and to be honest, that does sound like what Jake would do!” (Topic begins at 2:27) A different Hector Lopez? However, it seems that KSI’s remarks were misplaced. In his sarcastic tweet, Paul was actually referencing a different Hector Lopez, who reportedly debuted against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis in 2014 and hasn’t entered the pro ring since. It looks like Paul was simply yanking everyone’s proverbial chain with his comments, successfully duping KSI in the process… although the misunderstanding certainly made for a humorous moment.

KSI mocks Bryce Hall teasing boxing return: “Take the gloves off” YouTube star KSI has taunted Bryce Hall after the TikToker teased his boxing return after a long hiatus. After almost a year and a half since his last fight against Austin McBroom, Bryce Hall hints at his return to boxing. On May 27, the influencer teased his boxing return on Twitter. Bryce posted a 45-second clip showcasing his recent pad work after over a year of being out of the ring. “First time putting gloves on in a year… I miss this shit man,” he wrote alongside the video. Some gave credit to the influencer for looking in “decent” form despite his prolonged break. However, KSI couldn’t help but criticize the TikToker — encouraging him to quit before he’s ahead. “Take the gloves back off mate,” he said. Hitting back, Bryce poked fun at the British YouTube star. The influencer mocked KSI for his recent “accidental elbow” knockout over Joe Fournier. The action has since been overturned and declared a No Decision by the PBA. Bryce continued by offering KSI an MMA match, “One year off and I still manage to not throw elbows. But we should do an MMA fight since you got it like that.” In response to the jab, KSI claimed Misfits boxer Halal Ham would easily take on Bryce. KSI also urged Bryce to stick with TikTok rather than get involved with boxing. “Honestly, Halal ham would destroy you. You stink mate. Stay on TikTok,” he said. With Misfits signing a five-year deal with DAZN earlier in 2023, there are many opportunities for Bryce to hop on a card in the coming months.

KSI mocks Bryce Hall’s sparring footage: “You are not on my level” YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Bryce HallYouTube star KSI and TikToker Bryce Hall have made it clear they’re willing to throw hands with each other — but it looks like KSI isn’t all too impressed with Hall’s current boxing skills. It’s safe to say that KSI has helped pioneer the influencer boxing trend. After defeating YouTuber Joe Weller in 2018, the British influencer threw down with rival Logan Paul twice over, ultimately emerging the victor of their long-standing grudge in November 2019. Since then, personalities like Jake Paul, Fouseytube and others have stepped into the ring to settle their differences and make a name for themselves. Bryce Hall is one such star, who will face off against YouTuber Austin McBroom on the YouTubers vs TikTokers card come June 12. While he’s already got an opponent lined up for him, it seems that Hall is taking the initiative and seeking out another fight preemptively, successfully starting beef with KSI over Twitter. 1. Not scared, just busy smashing music, dropping an album and selling out arenas. 2. Still won and still undefeated 🤷🏿♂️ 3. And still would fuck you up easily.You’re a Jake Paul wannabe. Go back to throwing it back on TikTok. You can’t survive over here. https://t.co/I3Yf2mZ3KF — ksi (@KSI) May 18, 2021 That’s not all; amid all the trash-talk, Hall uploaded an entire video calling out KSI, as well as two other British YouTube stars — and KSI decided to clap back with an in-depth analysis of Hall’s sparring match against influencer Stromedy. Unfortunately, KSI wasn’t very impressed. The British content creator roasted Hall’s entire performance, appearing shocked when Hall grabbed Stromedy and lifted him up — a move that is definitely against boxing regulations but more than welcome in the WWE. “Bro, he legit thinks he’s so sick,” KSI moaned. “Once someone fucking hits him in the face properly, man will get humbled. He’s trying so hard to be Jake Paul, it’s obvious! Oh my god!” “You’re so wank! You’re dead! I’m watching this like, this guy thinks he can talk to me? How dare you! You have no right! …Bryce Hall thinks he’s the real deal. He should be dropping this guy easily within a minute or two. Easily.” “These guys, they just don’t know, they don’t understand. Especially Bryce Hall, man. Like I said on Twitter, win your fight and maybe we’ll talk. Bryce man, you are not on my level. Trust me.” (Topic begins at 2:05) A few hours later, Bryce Hall responded to KSI’s callout with a pointed tweet, reminding him that the Stromedy sparring match was filmed during his “first week of training” and promising to “post some sparring footage soon and show you what REAL work and dedication to training looks like.” https://twitter.com/BryceHall/status/1398019717206446081 While there’s no telling when these two might face off, it’s clear that both parties are interested in a future fight — and it seems that fans are, too.

KSI mocks Austin McBroom’s sparring footage ahead of AnEsonGib fight Instagram: austinmcbroom / YouTube: IMPAULSIVEYouTube star KSI couldn’t help but laugh at Austin McBroom after the ACE Family influencer knocked out his sparring partner ahead of his match against AnEsonGib. Austin McBroom is gearing up to take on British YouTuber AnEsonGib in just a few days’ time. Initially, the pair were slated to box on July 30, but health issues for Gib caused their bout to get delayed. Now, they’re facing off on September 10… and it looks like McBroom is more than ready to face his opponent from across the pond. On September 6, footage circulated showing Austin McBroom knocking out his sparring partner with an uppercut, sending the man falling down onto the ropes. While some fans were impressed, others theorized that the entire video was staged — not the first accusation of its kind in the influencer boxing world. KSI laughs at Austin McBroom’s sparring footage KSI is among those who aren’t too impressed with McBroom’s boxing skills. He took a shot at the ACE Family YouTuber over on Twitter, where he retweeted the sparring video with the caption: “HAHAHAHAHAHA.” This is far from the first time KSI has called out McBroom; in fact, the two stars sparked boxing rumors between them earlier this year after Austin called out KSI for a boxing match “at the end of the year” when it was revealed the British star would be fighting Swarmz instead of Alex Wassabi. That’s not all; McBroom has been vying for a fight with KSI for some time, even challenging KSI to a match all the way back in 2021 over on Instagram… but KSI has never been keen on taking him up on the offer, notably slamming the YouTuber this August. “My man thinks he’s f**kin’ Floyd Mayweather,” KSI explained. “He’s gonna ask for millions. He thinks he’s worth millions. He’s not worth anything!” (Topic begins at 5 minutes) For now, it’s clear that KSI isn’t willing to fight Austin McBroom… but he’s definitely game to clown on the YouTuber ahead of his match with Gib, a fellow Brit and friend of the Sidemen.

KSI mocks Bryce Hall fight challenge: “How dare you!” YouTube: Bryce Hall, JJ OlatunjiBritish YouTube star KSI is currently focusing on his music career — but that didn’t stop Bryce Hall from calling him out for a potential boxing match, which KSI doesn’t seem to be entertaining. Bryce Hall faced off against rival influencer Austin McBroom in the Battle of the Platforms this past weekend, losing the fight against his opponent in the second round by TKO. However, prior to his faceoff with the ACE Family YouTuber, Hall struck up a beef with KSI on social media, getting into quite the feud that had many fans eyeballing a future match between the two. This doesn’t seem to be in the cards, though, as Hall later appeared to back out of the possible matchup, stating in an interview with Drama Alert that he “is a fan of KSI and Deji” when approached about the subject. You’re literally easy work. Who do you think you’re talking to? 😂😂 https://t.co/BAQTG1F9Q2 — ksi (@KSI) May 18, 2021 That isn’t stopping KSI from dunking on the Sway House star, though, as told in a June 18 Reddit reaction video where he mocked the TikToker’s boxing performance. “It’s a shame, because he had so much talk, and just had nothing to show for it!” KSI laughed. “Austin McBroom turned Bryce Hall into a bobble-head, the amount of times he was knocking his head back with those jabs and right hands.” “He was chatting so much sh*t, and then just got slapped,” he continued. “The amount of memes coming out of Bryce Hall, it’s embarrassing. And he thought he could fight me! Bryce Hall thought he could fight me! Come on, man. I would beat every single person on that card.” As for who KSI hopes to fight next, the British influencer claimed he wants to throw down with Jake Paul — although Jake made it quite clear he was “done” discussing the match after claiming that KSI was ducking him due to concerns about the global health crisis last year. For now, it looks like KSI will continue to train up and build on his musical success while Jake Paul gears up for his bout with Tyron Woodley — leaving Bryce Hall itching to get back in the ring in the near future with an as-yet unnamed opponent.

KSI mocks Andrew Tate for “snitching on himself” in Greta Thunberg feud Cobratate Instagram / GymsharkKSI has mocked Andrew Tate for “snitching on himself” after a feud with Greta Thunberg resulted in the former cagefighter getting arrested in Romania. On December 29 it was widely reported that Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan had been arrested by the Romanian Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism. The event began with a feud between Tate and climate activist Greta Thunberg, in which Tate boasted about the impact his “33 cars” have on the environment. After Greta clapped back, Tate quickly responded with a lengthy video featuring his signature cigar and a few Pizza Boxes from a Romanian company, Jerry’s Pizza. The Pizza Boxes were allegedly the confirmation the Romanian authorities needed to locate and arrest Andrew Tate and his brother on “suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime relating to his cam girl business.” Andrew Tate mocked by KSI following his arrest Upon his arrest, a plethora of Twitch streamers, media officials, and social media stars commented on the unforeseen series of events. This included British rapper and boxer KSI, who joked about how “Andrew Tate snitched on himself after getting ratio’d by Greta Thunberg.” The tweet quickly gained traction after the trending event, with many people commenting on how “Greta got 33 cars off the street with 1 tweet”, highlighting the beginning of the feud and how it essentially enabled Tate to be arrested by Romanian authorities. Others took to commenting on the boxing careers of both KSI and Tate, joking that the tweet was “@Cobratate v @KSI confirmed.” While it seems Tate has been released from custody, having posted a tweet blaming the events on “the Matrix sending their agents”, it is not yet clear how the allegations will unfold.

KSI loses thousands of YouTube subscribers after Deji’s abuse allegations Screengrab via YouTubePopular YouTuber JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji has begun losing thousands of YouTube subscribers after accusations from his brother Deji about years of ‘abuse.’ The beef between the Olatunji brothers has been ongoing for a few years – as the pair regularly settle their issues before something else surfaces that causes another split. That all came to a head on May 25 as Deji released his emotional ‘bye’ video which accused his brother of years of mental and physical abuse. In the near hour-long upload, Deji documented his thoughts on his brother, explaining that he was finally cutting ties after years of alleged abuse. That has, of course, had a backlash on KSI’s fan support – especially when it comes to his YouTube subscriber count. Since the release of Deji’s video, both of KSI’s YouTube channels have taken a hit in terms of subscribers. According to SocialBlade, his main KSI channel has lost over 26,000 subs, while the KSIOlajidebtHD account has seen close to 15,000 subscribers walk away, in only 24 hours after Deji’s video. While it may not be enough to signal the end of his YouTube career, it’s clear that some fans have taken Deji’s video to heart and called time on their support of KSI. The losses have, also, only come in the wake of the upload considering – in the days leading up to the video – both of the channels had been gaining subs. However, it hasn’t had any real negative effect on his other social media followings. According to SocialBlade, his Twitter hasn’t seen the loss of any followers. On the other hand, KSI’s Instagram account lost over 500 followers after the upload but has since gained them back. KSI hasn’t, yet, used YouTube to respond to his brother’s upload – instead, opting to tweet about his lack of interest in losing the subscribers. Oh noooooo, I’m losing subs. Lemme try and find a fuck to give :joyful::joyful::joyful:. I’ve been doing this YouTube thing for too long to care about shit like that. Subs don’t even matter anymore these days. The kid only talks to me publicly for self gain. So I just don’t care anymore :shrug::skin-tone-6:♂️ — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) May 26, 2019 It remains to be seen just what damage will be done to KSI’s YouTube following as there may be more fallout to come from Deji’s video. This article was last updated on Sunday, May 26 at 12:58 pm Eastern Time.

KSI’s loss to Tommy Fury sparks controversy as fans claim fight was “rigged” DAZNTommy Fury defeated KSI in a razor-thin majority decision, but now many fans are calling the boxing fight “rigged.” Tommy Fury and KSI finally faced off on October 14, but the result has many fans and viewers questioning the legitimacy of the decision. Two of the three judges scored the fight 57-56 in favor of Fury, while the third judge had it at a draw with 57-57 after six rounds. The only rounds in which the judges unanimously agreed were rounds 1, 3, and 4. KSI has expressed his outrage over the decision and is determined to appeal. He stated post-fight, “Robbery, it’s a robbery bro. How many jabs did you land? You weren’t landing. Look at your face, look at your eyes, look at you. I want to appeal. That is outrageous. I felt like I won that.” Popular streamer IShowSpeed echoed the sentiments of many fans, stating that KSI was “robbed.” Another tweet, which now has over 700k views, reads, “KSI literally dominated Tommy Fury this fight. This was clearly rigged. KSI was robbed.” The fight is already regarded as one of the “worst” of the year, with both fighters spending a significant amount of time clinching rather than exchanging blows. The result was two fighters who were struggling to land any punches of significance. Fury, the younger brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, seemed to struggle to find his rhythm against KSI’s unorthodox tactics. Another controversial element of the fight was Fury’s repeated blows to the back of KSI’s head. While Fury was deducted a point in the second round for the illegal blows, KSI and his camp argue that the fouls continued throughout the fight, with the referee only penalizing Fury once. KSI expressed his frustration, stating, “Bro, the amount of times he hit me in the back of the head! So many times. And the referee only gave one point, and he kept doing it over and over.” Despite the questions regarding the decision itself, Fury remains the victor and extends his undefeated record to 10-0, while KSI is now 1-1 as a professional boxer, with his lone win coming against Logan Paul in 2019. Considering the controversy surrounding the outcome and a potential appeal from KSI, it remains to be seen if a rematch is on the horizon.

KSI loses his mind over Fortnite meme that is “ruining YouTube” As part of Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji’s new routine of daily uploads on YouTube, he’s being exposed to more memes than ever and the latest one looks to have thrown him over the edge completely. While KSI spent most of 2018 beefing with both Logan and Jake Paul, along with his brother Deji, he’s since shifted his focus towards more humorous videos such as meme reactions and even some Fortnite gameplay. Unsurprisingly, KSI spending more on the platform has put him in contact with one meme in particular that he thinks is actually “ruining YouTube.” “So obviously with a video, you watch it. But sometimes, you wanna just, you know, see what the comments are saying,” KSI says to begin his rant on the popular meme. He then scrolls down to the comments section of a random and is greeted with an avalanche of comments saying “Oh yeah yeah” or simply repeating “Oh yeah” dozens of times. After ranting for a bit longer about the ridiculousness of what he was seeing, KSI decided to do a bit of research on what the origins of this meme are to figure out why it’s taking over YouTube. As it turns out, the commenters were actually posting lyrics to a song created by a YouTuber named ‘MaximilianMus,’ in which he simply says “Oh yeah yeah” over and over while Fortnite gameplay is shown on screen. “It’s not a good meme. It needs to die. It needs to fucking die,” KSI exclaims about the meme. “Because it’s stupid as fuck! It’s almost as stupid as that egg meme, oh my fucking god!” At this point, KSI pledges to start a new campaign called “Operation Blackout” to fight back against the “virus” that is this new meme. He blacked out his profile picture on social media and begun commenting “STOP” on every YouTube video he found, urging his followers to do the same. At the time of writing, however, the comment section on KSI’s video speaking out against the meme is being flooded with even more variations of the meme. “Operation Blackout” is less than a day old but it looks like KSI has already lost the war that he started himself.

KSI loses it with resellers scalping PRIME Energy drinks for £100 YouTube: JJ OlatunjiYouTube star KSI has hit out at the absurd resell price of his PRIME hydration energy drinks in a viral TikTok video. KSI’s and Logan Paul’s PRIME hydration has without a doubt been a hit with fans. The two former boxing rivals unveiled their new business venture in early 2022, initially releasing five refreshing beverages for their fans in the states. It’s fair to say the demand for PRIME was through the roof, with the drink selling out in stores and online practically instantly. PRIME’s UK debut in June was no different, and couldn’t have gone any better for the YouTube stars, as thousands of excited fans lined up outside stores to get their hands on the drink. However, despite PRIME releasing in the UK over six months ago, fans are still struggling to get their hands on the drink — leading to some vendors taking advantage with some absolutely absurd resell prices. Furthermore, with the release of PRIME’s new energy drinks in the US — which are expected to hit UK shelves in April — one store that got their hands on it early has been charging customers £100 for just one can. KSI outraged by PRIME energy drink resellers Now, KSI has hit out at the store for charging such amounts for the new beverage in a viral TikTok. The video, which has amassed close to 3 million views so far, sees the British YouTuber in a fit of rage after reacting to fans spending £1200 on the new energy drinks. “Oh my god, no,” KSI exclaimed. “He can’t keep getting away with this. Stop buying at these prices.” Fans are certainly eager to try the new PRIME drink. Thankfully, they shouldn’t have to wait too long until they can get their hands on it in the UK.

KSI and Logan Paul’s trash talk hits new heights: “Chloe dumped you and Tfue stole your next girl” Daily ExpressThe ongoing beef between popular YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul has taken a savage turn, thanks to a series of scathing tweets between the two personalities on March 8. Their trash-talk began after KSI denied a rematch with Logan Paul, as told in a series of DMs to Drama Alert’s Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem. Logan accused KSI of dodging their upcoming fight – to which KSI had a biting response. KSI went on to point out how high his view counts were above Paul’s – and even brought up his scandal in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest.’ Paul hit back by accusing KSI of aborting multiple children, likely in reference to Deji’s accusations during his feud with KSI in late 2018. Paul’s breakup with actress Chloe Bennet and that his ex-fling Corinna Kopf moved on to romance Fortnite pro FaZe Tfue.“Chloe dumped you and Tfue stole your next girl,” KSI wrote. “You believe the earth is flat. You keep calling me a dweeb thinking it’s insulting me but it makes you look 12.” kicked out of his home on Christmas day, KSI didn’t deign to reply, instead calling out Jake Paul for a potential boxing match.Anyway, @jakepaul you want the main event? You got it. Lets see how “trash” I really am… — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) March 9, 2019 Although KSI and Logan’s beef brought them into the boxing ring in summer 2018, it looks like these two won’t hash it out again; instead, KSI looks to fight Jake Paul, after being called out by the youngest Paul brother on Logan’s ‘imPaulsive’ podcast.

KSI loses his mind after falling for hilarious PewDiePie troll YouTube: PewDiePie / KSIFelix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg hilariously baited JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji with the perfect prank. The Swede created “fan art” that had the UK star in tears of laughter. [jwplayer smynPnSq] With over 107 million subscribers, PewDiePie is one of YouTube’s biggest sources for internet humor. The 31-year-old has a show called Meme Review after all, and it was even hosted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who is a connoisseur of memes in his own right. Kjellberg hilariously trolled fellow content creator KSI during an October upload, and on November 2, the UK personality fell for the prank. The star broke down laughing after realizing he had been baited by the “fan art” joke. PewDiePie wins KSI fan art of the year The YouTuber initially created the prank on October 26, submitting fan art to KSI’s subreddit during a video. “Upvote this please for the love of god,” he told viewers before adding “Come on, KSI, please.” Kjellberg was blown away on November 2 when he realized the “masterpiece” artwork had not only been upvoted by over 70k people, but was now the highest-rated post in the history of KSI’s forum. “We broke the record on KSI’s subreddit. The top voted of all time! By far.” he said. Pewds was then floored when he saw the amount of Reddit awards he was given. “Yes! Wooooo! Baby! We did it!” he laughed. (Topic starts at 00:10) Unaware of the meme, KSI was baffled by the fan art being upvoted to the top, and hilariously reacted to it during his latest upload. “What is this? This is one of the worst drawings I’ve ever seen in my life. This is trash! How’s this person make me look like an uglier version of handsome Squidward?” he joked. JJ then said the artwork was so offensively bad, he wanted to remove it. “Who the f**k drew this? Find a new hobby, mate, because this ain’t it!” The UK star then realized he was trolled by PewDiePie when someone uploaded a video of the YouTuber drawing the portrait. Changing his tune on the drawing, he exclaimed, “What a marvelous piece of art! Amazing! One of the best pieces of art that I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable!” while breaking into laughter. Olatunji then stated, “What a rollercoaster! That makes so much sense. Okay, that’s why!” (Topic starts at 00:21) Over the past year, KSI and PewDiePie have continued to have friendly banter. In previous uploads, the two have jokingly poked fun at each other, culminating in Pewds’ epic fan art prank. At the time of writing, the Swedish star has yet to see JJ’s reaction. However, he will no doubt be in stitches when he eventually sees the UK’s hilarious confusion.

KSI & Logan Paul’s $500K Prime bottle challenge could end with fiery twist from Mark Rober Twitter: MarkRober / PrimeHydrationKSI and Logan Paul are giving fans a chance to win $500,000 through a new golden Prime Hydration challenge, but there’s a twist. If no one is successful within 48 hours, Mark Rober’s fiery invention will melt the riches away. What started as the latest influencer-backed product has since exploded into one of the fastest-growing beverage companies in the world today. Through collabs with high-profile athletes, limited-edition flavors, and inventive marketing, Prime Hydration has disrupted the market unlike anything else. Now on track to sell its billionth bottle in a little under two years, creators KSI and Logan Paul have kicked off a contest to mark the accomplishment. For just 48 hours, Prime bottles made of solid gold have been dropped in both New York and London. Fans have to guess the correct code in time to unlock its protective case and grab the $500,000 item inside. But fail to do so, and Mark Rober has a sneaky trick waiting once the countdown runs out. Having been tasked with designing a protective case for the competition, YouTube superstar Rober had a few novel ideas. To prevent any cheating, he first installed some bulletproof glass, but that’s only where the fun begins. Rober also happened to install a small “vat of molten lava” directly below the golden bottle. Should the community fail to win either $500K lump of gold in time, fans will allegedly have to witness these riches go up in flames. At 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Rober’s explanation, the immense heat will liquify the lava in a matter of moments. Making the once-half-a-million dollar creation all but vanish. Of course, being this is a competition from KSI and Logan Paul, however, it’s worth taking their words with a grain of salt for now. Would these YouTubers really just throw away a million dollars if no one completes the task? Who knows for certain, but it wouldn’t be their first prank drawing more attention to their product. With less than two days to go for fans in New York and London before the guessing can start, the clock is ticking as the heat ramps up. We’ll be sure to keep you posted here once a winner gets lucky, or perhaps once these valuable items burn away.

Since its inception in January 2022, Logan Paul & KSI’s Prime Hydration and Energy drinks have taken over the industry with sales and popularity.

A third said: “It’s crazy how much Prime has blown up in like two years.” For more news and other viral stories, keep it locked to Dexerto.

KSI & Logan Paul unveil two UFC stars as first Prime athletes Prime HydrationKSI and Logan Paul have revealed UFC fighters Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski as the first official Prime athletes. After two former rivals, KSI and Logan Paul, banded together, Prime has made waves in the hydration beverage market since its launch in early 2022. The beverage has been flying off the shelves at a rapid pace since its release, so much so that it’s still almost impossible to get your hands on it in the UK. On top of that, it only seems as if the brand is getting bigger and bigger. Prime has become the official partner of the UFC, as well as Arsenal F.C — and even had its own Super Bowl commercial in early 2023, marking KSI and Logan as the first YouTubers to advertise at the prestigious sporting event. Now, the two YouTube stars have unveiled the first sponsored athletes for Prime. Prime reveal UFC fighters as first sponsored athletes In a tweet on June 4, Logan announced that UFC fighters Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski would be the first official Prime-sponsored athletes. In a short 30-second-long video, it was made clear that both YouTubers are huge fans of the two fighters, who they consider to be some of the best entertainers in the sport. Furthermore, it doesn’t seem like they’re stopping at just combat sports athletes. KSI too posted a tweet, celebrating the historic moment for the brand — while also calling on fans for suggestions as to who they should sponsor next in any sport. “This is huge!! What athlete, from any sport, should we sponsor next?” he asked. It doesn’t seem like the hype for Prime is slowing down anytime soon. At this point, nobody knows what new height the brand will reach next.

KSI & Logan Paul reveal their biggest mistakes ahead of boxing rematch YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to throw down on November 9 in the net’s biggest boxing rematch to date. Before they settle their beef once and for all, the two are taking a look back at their previous fight. Both YouTubers have been releasing episodes of a documentary called “40 Days” ahead of their November 9 bout, which takes viewers through their training camps, exclusive interviews, and more. The doc’s latest episode, released on November 5, gives fans a behind-the-scenes look into their August 2018 match. Specifically, the “biggest” mistakes that the internet celebs made, which could have cost a decisive victory. Logan Paul and KSI first faced off on August 25, 2018 in the UK. Now, they’re set to throw down on November 9, in the LA Staples Center. During the episode, KSI and Logan Paul looked back on footage from their first fight, with Paul admitting that he’d run out of steam in the third round. This was nn issue that fans across the net noticed. “Round three started – zero,” he explained. “All of the sudden, I had nothing left. I had no energy, I could barely pick up my arms, and I couldn’t wrap my head around what just happened and why.” Logan Paul is gearing up for a chance at finally ending his beef with KSI.600https://www.instagram.com/p/B399SNcpn2n/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link “What are my punches, man?” KSI exasperatedly questioned of his wide swings. “Where are my hands? Oh, my god.” That wasn’t the only regret KSI had concerning their fight, either: the YouTuber also claimed that he “shouldn’t have” hit Paul after the bell in the second round, calling the shot “cheap.” Despite the mistakes made during their fledgling debut, both boxers are confident in their chances for the rematch, with KSI claiming that he’s going to put an end to his opponent’s entire career. “Last year, I was just alright,” KSI said of their fight. “Next fight, I’m ending his career.” KSI and Logan Paul butted heads at both Los Angeles and UK press conferences ahead of their November 9 bout.600https://www.instagram.com/p/B2aaaTiALO3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link “Looking back at the fight, you learn,” Logan admitted. “Last year, I kind of knew what I was doing. This year, there’s an animal inside me, a killer that I suppress because he’s fucking evil, but on November 9, he’s gonna come out, and it’s not gonna be pretty.” With mere days until they face off for the final time, fans and critics alike are waiting with bated breath for the outcome – and there’s no telling which YouTuber will stand victorious.

KSI & Logan Paul reveal Erling Haaland as first Prime-sponsored footballer PrimeKSI and Logan Paul have signed Manchester City striker Erling Haaland to Prime Hydration, with the Norwegian star becoming their first sponsored footballer. With the launch of new flavors that continue to fly off the shelves at a rapid pace, to having its very own Super Bowl commercial, it’s fair to say Prime has been a major success. Since its launch in early 2022, Prime has gone on to become the official partner of the UFC, as well as KSI’s favorite football club Arsenal FC. More recently, they signed with FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich. It’s not only teams Prime has been sponsoring. In June, KSI and Logan unveiled UFC fighters Israel Adesanya and Alex Volkanovski as the first official Prime athletes, before world champion boxer Terence Crawford joined the club. Now, Prime has revealed their next sponsored athlete, and arguably their biggest yet, Erling Haaland. Erling Haaland becomes Prime sponsored athlete Announced on August 25, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, who broke the record for most goals in a single Premier League season in his debut campaign, is the latest athlete to be sponsored by Prime. “The future of hydration meets the future of Football,” the announcement read, which was shared with a photo of the YouTube stars next to Haaland wearing a Prime chain. Details of the partnership weren’t disclosed. Since the announcement, a clip has surfaced of the Man City star speaking in 2020, where in an Instagram live he said he was a fan of both KSI and his brother Deji. KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration has reached some incredible heights so far and shows absolutely no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

KSI & Logan Paul hit by Prime bottles during fan meet-up Twitter: PrimeHydrateKSI and Logan Paul had to be rushed off stage by security after a meet-up for their Prime drink saw fans start throwing bottles their way – even hitting KSI on the head. When KSI and Logan Paul launched their Prime drinks brand back in early 2022, they were unleashing a behemoth onto the world. Their drinks have become incredibly sought after, especially in the UK where some stores have now labeled them as “security protected” to deter shoplifting. Since that initial launch in the UK and USA, the pair have been on a bit of a worldwide tour, launching Prime in different countries across the globe. Their meet-ups in the UK, Australia, Spain, and beyond have seen stores and roads have to be shut down. However, during their recent trip to Copenhagen to meet fans of the drink in Denmark, things took a bit of a turn as the pair were hit with bottles of their own drink. KSI & Logan Paul event ends in chaos as Prime bottles thrown As they do with most of their launches, KSI and Logan held a rally with fans, giving out bottles and thanking them for backing the brand. At the end of the meet-up, as KSI gave his signature rallying call sign-off of “Drink Prime”, the crowd started to douse them in Prime. It seemed pretty harmless fun at first as the two YouTube stars lapped it up as usual. However, despite the fun and laughs, a few bottles were ultimately thrown their way. As a result, their security quickly rushed to cover the pair and move them away from the crowd as other bottles were still being tossed toward them. Logan ran away laughing, but KSI did get protection from security. After it, KSI noted that he had been hit in the head by a bottle, but sort of saw the funny side of things. “That Prime bottle to my head was pinpoint,” he said, quote tweeting one of the videos of their event alongside a number of laughing emojis. Both KSI and Logan appeared to get away from things without any injuries, and just ended up a little wet from the Prime, but it could mean that security is ramped up at any subsequent meet-ups that they hold.

KSI and Logan Paul hurl insults & predict KOs at press conference DAZN, YouTubeYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are set to touch gloves on November 9 in the internet’s most anticipated boxing rematch yet – and their September 14 press conference further solidified one of YouTube’s biggest rivalries to date. The KSI vs Logan Paul 2 press conference took place at the Los Angeles Staples Center on September 14, courtesy of sports streaming platform DAZN via YouTube. While the entire internet knows both KSI and Logan Paul are fiending to throw down, they aren’t the only ones making big claims ahead of their rematch: Paul’s trainer, two-time world heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs, also had some trash talk to sling ahead of their bout. The trainers talk trash When given a chance to speak on the upcoming fight, Briggs claimed that Paul is “more prepared than any man ever,” claiming that “Logan Paul is gonna knock that man out cold.” Briggs’ sentiments were echoed by KSI’s trainer, Viddal Riley, who simply claimed there is “a knock out coming for KSI on November 9” in response to Briggs’ taunts. Logan Paul brings up a family feud The attention quickly turned to the fighters, themselves, with Logan Paul getting the first chance to speak as the hometown hero – an opportunity he took to bring up KSI’s feud with his little brother, Deji Olatunji. “Where’s Deji at?” Paul asked. “Where’s your family at, JJ? …Mine’s right here. I got a message for them… Mr. and Mrs. KSI, thank you. I fucking love you for giving me the opportunity to beat the shit out of your asshole son.” 600https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Z1HQrp5tP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkKSI hits back Although it seemed like KSI took the verbal thrashing sitting down (quite literally, as the YouTuber didn’t seem to want to get out of his chair), he returned the trash talk in kind, bringing Paul’s mother into their battle after the tow-headed YouTuber chanted, “JJ has no dick.” “Go ask your mom, she’s right there – how’s my dick?” KSI retorted, laughing when she answered “No.” “You weren’t saying that last night,” he continued. “How is your mom here and not your dad?” 600https://www.instagram.com/p/BvUouXRgW7U/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkKSI calls out Jake Paul KSI didn’t stick to insulting Logan Paul: the British internet star likewise called out Jake Paul, who uploaded a video accusing KSI of kicking him from the rematch undercard. “Jake, youre a fucking crybaby man,” KSI said of the video. “I want you to fight, but I want you to fight someone who actually makes fucking sense. No one wants to watch you fight Soulja Boy.” KSI & Logan Paul speak on the press conference In regards to their rematch on November 9, both YouTubers predicted a round one knockout – but neither seemed fully satisfied with the press conference, with Paul calling the meeting “disappointing.” “What the fuck was that?” Paul said of the conference. “He gave me nothing. I saw the fear in his eyes – he had nothing to say. The man’s defeated already.” “This is gonna be a walk in the park, man,” KSI echoed. “I don’t care about [home turf advantage]. It’s a ring at the end of the day, and I know what I’m gonna do.” KSI & Logan Paul predict Round 1 KOs KSI and Logan Paul will meet again at the Staples Center in just two month’s time, and with the two evenly matched in terms of height and weight, the results of their upcoming rematch could be close: but a Twitter poll from DAZN shows that audiences overwhelmingly favor KSI’s chances in the ring. With their fight going pro, both YouTubers are foregoing headgear, cannot be saved by the bell, and have no standing 8 count or 3 knockdown rule – making the bout a no-holds-barred grudge match that fans and critics alike can’t wait to see. Stay tuned to Dexerto.com for more information as things heat up for one of the net’s most heated rivalries thus far.

Will KSI and Logan Paul ever fight again? News and rumors for YouTube’s biggest boxing rematch L: Instagram – KSI. R: YouTube/Logan Paul.YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul have been teasing a boxing rematch ever since their 2018 draw, but will it actually happen? Here’s what we know so far. It’s been almost a year since Logan Paul and JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji contested a draw in their Boxing showdown. Since that August 2018 draw, fans have been clamoring to see the pair strap on their gloves and get back into the ring. Both parties have continually teased a second face-off, but nothing has come of it just yet. KSI has even opened up about the fact that he wasn’t able to ‘drop’ Logan in their first match-up – sparking further whispers about a future clash. So, here’s everything we know so far about a possible second fight. Will KSI and Logan Paul fight again? Despite all the rumors and trash talk, there has been no confirmed date for a second bout between Logan and KSI. The pair had seemingly been slated for a rematch in February 2019, with gambling websites taking bets for February 27. Yet, that came and went without anything happening. KSI stated that he wanted a rematch in May or the summertime, but as of yet, nothing has happened. The UK YouTube star has even slammed Paul for ‘dodging’ offers. Yet, Logan responded by telling TMZ: “I’m going to f***ing murder that dude bro, actual murder bro.” 600Where would KSI and Logan Paul’s rematch take place? From the get-go, the rumors surrounding the location for the second fight have centered around the United States, with Los Angeles and Las Vegas both touted as possible destinations. Read More: Top 20 most disliked YouTube videos ever – KSI himself told BBC News that he’d love to see it happen in Dubai, but was almost resigned to making the cross-Atlantic trip. With the large majority of KSI’s audience being UK and European based, a West Coast face-off would likely play a factor in viewership considering the time difference. A fight on the East Coast, somewhere like New York or Miami, would make that time difference a little easier for UK fans to contend with. However, Logan Paul has even told TMZ that the rematch between himself and KSI will take place in Los Angeles, with the venue being either the Staples Center or The Forum. He said that the final details for the fight are being “ironed out” – meaning it could take place sooner than some expected. The YouTube star backed that up during his Challenger Games event, when he told heavyweight contender Shannon Briggs that he hoped to get back into the ring before the end of 2019, despite a gruesome hamstring injury. Despite that, KSI is still yearning for the fight to happen in London – specifically, at the O2 Arena. He tweeted: “If this fight doesn’t happen in the US by the end of the year, then let’s bring it back to the U.K. and fight at the O2 next year” If this fight doesn’t happen in the US by the end of the year, then lets bring it back to the U.K. and fight at the 02 next year @LoganPaul — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 16, 2019 How to watch KSI vs Logan Paul Like the last fight, any potential rematch would likely be streamed via YouTube’s pay-per-view system and an offshoot website set up for the match-up. That first bout was extremely lucrative as it racked up over 1.05 million pay-per-view buys worldwide with an estimated revenue of £8 million or $11 million. With the hype surrounding the rematch, it’s pretty possible that they even eclipse that number – despite likely taking place in the United States. So, there you have it, everything we know so far about a potential rematch between KSI and Logan Paul. There’s plenty still up in the air about if it will actually happen, but this post will continue to be updated as and when confirmed news rears its head.

KSI & Logan Paul forced to cancel PRIME Hydration meetup after huge fan turnout Instagram: Logan Paul / drinkprimePopular YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul are celebrating the launch of their sports drink, PRIME Hydration, in the UK with fan meetups — but these events might have gotten a little too crowded. KSI and Logan Paul have officially ended their beef to unleash a new sports recovery beverage into the world: PRIME Hydration. The duo first revealed the drink earlier this year, shocking fans with their newfound friendship after years of enmity that saw them face off in the boxing ring two times. Initially launched in America, PRIME is finally coming to the UK in stores like Tesco, ASDA, and more… and the YouTubers decided to celebrate this occasion with a bang. KSI and Logan took to social media to tell fans they’d be going to certain stores to meet up with their viewers and pass out some PRIME — and their viewers showed out in a huge way. The two influencers shared videos to Instagram showing a massive crowd that had gathered in front of an ASDA store in Watford, completely obscuring the front of the store and milling around the vehicle Paul and KSI drove in on. View this post on Instagram Of course, the fans ended up chanting “F**k Jake Paul” in a hilarious callback to KSI’s beef with Logan’s little brother, as well as “F**k Gatorade,” one of PRIME’s top competitors. KSI and Logan Paul getting fans to chant “F**k Gatorade””pic.twitter.com/BGZsaNOSUP — Dexerto (@Dexerto) June 17, 2022 Even fellow YouTuber Jidion was in attendance and helped drive up the hype to maximum levels. It seems as though things got a little too rowdy at the ASDA, as KSI announced on Instagram a short while later that their next meetup in Leyton was canceled. “ASDA canceled the Leyton meetup,” KSI wrote. “Sorry everyone.” This wouldn’t be the first time YouTubers have drawn massive crowds for fan meetups; the NELK Boys notably got into legal trouble after hordes of fans came to see them in 2020 (although the UK PRIME launch has seen decidedly less police involvement).

KSI & Logan Paul confirmed to fight in “Prime card” double main event Twitter: KSIYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul have been confirmed to fight in a double main event influencer-boxing extravaganza after Misfits Boxing teased the card at its Series 008 event. On July 22, influencers gathered together to duke it out on the Misfts x DAZN Series 008 boxing event in Nashville, Tennessee. Just before the final fight of the night, Misfits president Mams Taylor appeared on stage to tease the next installment in the Misfits x DAZN influencer-boxing showdown – and fans were convinced that it was teasing fights including YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul. Now, it appears that those rumors have been confirmed, as KSI himself has just revealed that the next PRIME Card will feature both himself and Logan Paul. KSI confirms he & Logan Paul will feature on PRIME boxing card Only July 28, KSI took to Twitter/X to announce that both he and Logan will be taking separate fights on the next Misfits x DAZN event, which he dubbed the “PRIME” card. “The PRIME card is here!” KSI wrote. “We will both fight on the same night for the first time since our rematch in 2019, live on DAZN PPV. Opponents will be announced soon.” Judging by the teaser that was shown at Series 008, fans think that Logan Paul may face off with mixed martial artist Dillon Danis, who has had a feud with both the Paul brothers and KSI for years, now. KSI confirms boxing match with Tommy Fury for October 14 Fans also speculated that KSI would take on Tommy Fury, who he’s been itching to fight for months now as the British boxer seemingly dodged signing an official contract with him – and on July 30, KSI confirmed this rumor to be true. “[On] October 14, I’m doing what Jake Paul couldn’t and beating Tommy Fury on the biggest night in crossover boxing history,” he wrote on X. Logan Paul confirms bout against Dillon Danis on Oct 14 Fans have speculated that Logan Paul would go up against Dillon Danis during the match, and on August 8, 2023, it was revealed to be true. “OCTOBER 14 I return to boxing after fighting Floyd Mayweather over 2 years ago. I doubt this little parasite will show up but if he does I’m going to erase him from existence,” he said. “The PRIME Card — Oct 14 in Manchester, live on DAZN PPV!” This highly-anticipated event will take place on October 14 at the AO Arena in Manchester, UK. This bout is a pretty big deal for both KSI and Logan Paul, who have put their infamous rivalry to bed to become business partners with their PRIME Hydration drink line. The two haven’t appeared in a boxing ring together since their rematch in 2019, marking another historic moment for the pair.

KSI & Logan Paul end long-running beef with surprise imPaulsive podcast appearance YouTube: imPaulsiveYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul have been bitter rivals for some time — but a year after their boxing rematch in 2019, the two stars have buried the hatchet with a surprising joint episode of the imPaulsive podcast. If there were ever two enemies in the social media world, it was KSI and Logan Paul. KSI notably called out the Paul brothers after defeating Joe Weller in the boxing ring in 2018, prompting Logan to take on the challenge. The two faced off for the first time in August 2018, with the fight ending in a draw. Between fierce diss tracks and press conferences that nearly ended in riots, their beef was finally put to rest in November 2019, with KSI winning their rematch by split-decision. However, the two weren’t necessarily on friendly terms after the fact… at least, until now. In 2021, Paul was seen out and about in London, with fans speculating that he was in the area for a secret joint project with KSI. This turned out to be true, with Paul appearing on KSI’s hyped-up ‘All Over The Place’ show on July 17. While it was certainly shocking to see the two collaborating on a project together, it didn’t really sink in until KSI appeared on a completely unexpected episode of Paul’s imPaulsive podcast on July 20. The two YouTubers — once bitter rivals — sat down for a friendly conversation in True Geordie’s podcast studio in London, UK, where they discussed their boxing careers, their work as influencers, and their history as adversaries. View this post on Instagram Although KSI joked that the podcast was “everyone licking everyone’s a**,” the two admitted that they shared a mutual respect for each other in spite of their previous rivalry. “There’s a level of respect,” KSI admitted. “Yes, we had our beef, but like, even with Joe Weller, there’s always gonna be that level of respect.” It seems that fans are all in for this newfound friendship between the YouTubers, too. One commenter summed it up quite well: “Who else is glad, after everything, they are still good friends?”

KSI vs Logan Paul 2 pro fight details confirmed – No head-guards or YouTube streaming? Matchroom Boxing/TwitterDetails about the boxing rematch between KSI and Logan Paul have been released and it looks like the YouTubers will be making their pro boxing debut at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The pair last squared off in a white-collar amateur boxing match on August 25 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England. This time around though, the matchup is headed across the pond to the states where the headgear will be coming off and the two will fight for real in a pro match. When is the KSI vs Logan Paul rematch? Matchroom Boxing announced via Twitter that the highly-anticipated KSI Logan Paul rematch will happen on November 9 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The date and venue were previously revealed on August 14, but now we have more details about when it is and how to watch the event. How do we watch the fight? The rematch between the two YouTube stars will, surprisingly enough, not be available on YouTube. Instead, the card will be available for Pay Per View on subscription video streaming service DAZN. Both Paul and KSI complained about the high number of pirated streams that broadcast their fight for free to viewers on Twitch and YouTube, so switching to a PPV model could be an attempt to cut down on stream piracy. Tickets for the bout become available for pre-sale on September 10, with the general sale beginning September 14. NEW SHOW! :rotating_light: #KSILoganPaul2 Headguards off. This time, it’s the pro game :punch: :boxing_glove: @KSIOlajidebt vs @LoganPaul :stadium: @STAPLESCenter, Los Angeles :spiral_calendar_pad: November 9:laptop: Live on @DAZN_USA :tickets: Tickets on pre-sale 9/10, general sale 9/14. Details to follow pic.twitter.com/0QsgNEoGsV — Matchroom Boxing (@MatchroomBoxing) September 3, 2019 The trash talk between Paul and KSI hasn’t stopped In the year between the two matchups, neither KSI or Paul have stopped talking smack to each other, which makes the rematch a chance to settle things (again). KSI even questioned if the rematch would happen in 2019 at all on Twitter back in June, accusing Paul of trying to dodge out on the next fight. Whenever it was in the U.K. the fight actually got sorted. As soon as it’s in the US, nothing FUCKING happens. I’m bored now. So lets have this rematch in the U.K. already cos you know and everyone else knows you lost the fight that night @LoganPaul — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) June 16, 2019 What else is new this time around? The KSI v. Logan Paul rematch is an official pro card, which means the headgear is coming off so all the “protection” the two will have are mouth-guards and gloves. Obviously this greatly increases the chances of one of the fighters getting knocked out, which means we could actually see a winner this time around instead of just another draw. With no headgear and an official pro card, the KSI vs. Logan Paul rematch could see both fighters get after it harder then they did before for the win – and also those sweet, sweet, bragging rights.

KSI & Logan Paul boxing rematch? Trash-talking segment teases potential fight Instagram / ksiAs the highly anticipated KSI Show came to a close, fans of the British superstar — and fans of rival boxer Logan Paul — were treated to a tantalizing teaser that hinted at a future rematch in the ring between the two young competitors. Despite butting heads at times over the last several years, KSI and Logan Paul seemed to be on nothing but good terms as the older Paul brother joined the British entertainer on his ‘KSI Show’ special after rumors swirled that he would make an appearance. While Paul was featured in a segment towards the end of the event, he also made an unexpected post-credits appearance as well, where he and KSI sent fans into a frenzy when they hopped into a makeshift boxing ring while talking trash and teasing a third showdown in the future. As KSI thanked his fans for watching the event, and the screen faded to black, viewers thought the show was over. They were shocked when KSI and Logan Paul appeared wearing boxing gloves, and approached an empty boxing ring while teasing a future announcement. “I honestly can’t believe it,” Paul remarked cryptically, while KSI responded in kind: “Yeah man, this is gonna be big.” The two personalities poked fun at one another as they made their way into the arena, with Paul commenting on what many thought was a questionable win given to KSI in their second match, while his British counterpart joked about his opponent’s claim to fame from making Vines. Despite the banter, both were smiling and laughing as they climbed over the ropes. “You ready?” Paul asked, to which KSI responded “Absolutely,” and the two squared off as the video ended to the sound of a boxing match bell ringing. While the KSI Show’s promotional material already contained images of KSI and Paul in the ring together, many fans took this segment as a sign that the two were teasing a third showdown between the ropes after a tie in their first match, and a KSI win in the second. Neither KSI nor Paul have officially confirmed a third event at the time of writing, but with the superstars seemingly on better terms than ever, it seems to be the perfect time for the two young boxers to hop into the ring and face off yet again.

KSI left furious after being racially abused during quest for Fortnite win KSIOlajidebtHD, YouTubePopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji was left furious after his search for his first win on Fortnite was spoiled by racist abuse. After struggling in the first few games, with just a handful of kills to his name, he seemed to be saddened by the lack of communication from his teammates once he’d been shot down. However, one player did have a microphone and decided to overstep the mark by aiming a number of racial slurs at him. The star is still yet to achieve a Victory Royale on all three of the game’s modes, Solo, Duos and Squads, so he decided to see if he could match up with some players that might have some more experience on the game to make a full team. Having realized that his new team had two players with headsets connected, KSI started to speak to them. However, one player – BOSS Russki, who claimed to be from Germany, jumped in and asked if he was a “n*****”. The player went on to dance in front of him, repeating the word over and over again until KSI decided that he should walk away from the game for a moment. Warning: The video below contains racial slurs and unacceptable language. “I can’t be arsed. I’m not playing this. What the fuck is going on? What is this game? I come on here to get harassed, this is fucking bullshit” the YouTuber yelled. After the squad was eliminated, Russki continued the racial abuse. “BOSS Russki, I will remember that name for the rest of my life. If I’m ever in Germany and I find your fucking face, you’re done” he added. KSI was also subject to racial abuse during a fan Q&A, which can be seen in a video he recently uploaded to YouTube. That content – as well as this – doesn’t bleep out the offensive language and are still being monetized on the platform despite a member of YouTube’s monetization team recently claiming that this should not be the case, given that racial slurs are included in both.

KSI laughs off Liam Payne boxing challenge: “You don’t want to fight me” Sam Neill / ImPaulsive YouTubeBritish YouTuber KSI laughed off a proposed fight with Liam Payne after the former One Direction member told Logan Paul he’d take his former nemesis in the ring. From influencer boxing to general celebrity matchups, YouTubers and Twitch streamers have been taking to the ring to give audiences a completely different take to content that draws in attention. The pull of the scene has even invited the attention of big names like Floyd Mayweather, UFC champ Kamaru Usman, and much more. Now we can add boy band pop stars to the list seeing as Payne wants to lace them up in a future bout. On the ImPaulsive podcast, Payne said he would be interested in a match-up against one of the two YouTubers that started the trend – inviting a stinging response from KSI. The Sidemen alum wasn’t sure that the recording artist was up to the challenge and brazenly shot down Payne’s fight challenge, for now. “You don’t want to fight me,” KSI told Payne. “You know what, you should fight Bryce. Fight Bryce Hall. If you can knock out Bryce Hall then you can maybe attempt to talk to me.” Payne acknowledged that KSI would have to come down a couple of weight classes, but the YouTuber still isn’t convinced that it’d be a fair match. Instead, he suggested the artist test the waters with someone who already stepped into the ring to warm up first. Bryce Hall last fought during the YouTubers vs TikTokers: Social Gloves event when he lost to Austin McBroom. Hall’s been eager to step back into the ring, so it could be a plausible card in the future – that is if The Island Boys don’t claim Hall first. But if Payne were to fight and beat Hall, then it sounds like KSI could at least humor a return to the ring with an interesting opponent.

KSI lays into Jake Paul over his rapping YouTube star Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji held nothing back when asked who the worst YouTube rapper is. The Paul brothers might have put out very successful rap tracks during the height of their feud with KSI and his brother Deji Olatjuni, but KSI wasn’t at all impressed with their skills. He was discussing the state of YouTube rappers on the “What’s Good?” podcast with Miniminter and Randolph when he had more than a few things to say about their skills. “Oh my god, bro. He is trash!” KSI said of the controversial YouTuber. “He’s one of the worst rappers I’ve ever seen in my life.” The hosts then tried to come to Jake’s defense saying that even though he’s “not good,” he at least knows how to pick good beats. KSI, however, just wasn’t buying it. “You’re telling me ‘Champion’ was a good song?!” yelled KSI before starting to mumble lyrics to the song in an attempt to imitate Jake’s style of rapping. KSI didn’t stop there, however, choosing to also call out his rival, Jake’s older brother, Logan Paul while he was at it. “And don’t you dare talk to me about Logan Paul. He doesn’t even write his own shit,” KSI offered on Logan. “He’s better than Jake, but Logan doesn’t write his shit so it doesn’t even matter.” KSI then pleads with Jake to stop rapping since he gives YouTuber rappers like KSI a bad name. “When people think of YouTubers that rap, they think of Jake Paul because of his fucking ‘Everyday Bro,’ which is trash! Everyone on[the song] is trash!” KSI said of the massively popular song by Jake Paul. Given that there are plans for another fight between the pair of brothers in 2019, this likely won’t be the last time we hear them hit out at each other. There’s no word, however, on whether Jake or Logan will actually listen to KSI and stop making rap songs.

KSI launches his own record label: The Online Takeover KSI/The Online TakeoverYouTube sensation-turned-chart-topping rapper Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has officially launched his own record label, called The Online Takeover. [jwplayer h3XPfMqQ] Over the last decade, KSI has risen far beyond YouTube stardom to become a household name. He became a professional boxer to take on fellow YouTuber Logan Paul, and released his debut album ‘Dissimulation’ in May 2020, which debuted at #2 in the UK charts. With music becoming a constant endeavor in KSI’s life, he has officially launched his own record label to highlight rising talent. The Online Takeover is clearly a homage to his own roots as a content creator, and how he has risen to become much bigger than just a YouTuber — and he has launched the company with one artist in the books, someone he has collaborated with before. In the February 16 announcement, KSI said: “TOT. The online takeover. Ya boy has created his own music label. Looking at my résumé, I’ve always been about making sure the people around me are eating good. So, I am proud to announce that Aiyana Lee is the first of the TOT gang and will be returning with another banger very soon.” Read More: KSI reveals he’s eager to fight Jake Paul – Fans of KSI will already be familiar with Aiyana Lee, as she featured on his debut album on the track ‘Killa Killa.’ Aiyana Lee told Music Week: “Being the first artist on KSI’s label is so incredible and exciting, especially when he’s such a down to earth human being and inspiration to so many people including myself… the new single on The Online Takeover is going to really showcase what I want to say through my music and set the tone for what I’m about artistically.” KSI’s presence in the music world has only been growing throughout 2020 and 2021. He has collaborated with huge names such as Trippie Redd, Lil Baby, and Craig David, and he clearly isn’t slowing down any time soon. KSI does seem to see success in everything he touches — and fans should expect more of the same with The Online Takeover.

KSI launches own boxing promotion for “celebrity crossover” events KSI/Wasserman Boxing/Proper LoudBritish YouTube sensation Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has officially launched his own boxing promotion to “stage the world’s biggest and best celebrity/crossover boxing events.” KSI is one of the biggest names on YouTube and, as well as being a successful recording artist, really catapulted the influencer boxing space to become what it is today. With his bouts against Logan Paul came huge mainstream appeal. Since then, Logan has gone on to fight Floyd Mayweather, while his brother Jake knocked out former UFC star Ben Askren and is due to take on current UFC legend Tyron Woodley. As the brains behind much of the operations, KSI clearly fell in love with the sport of boxing and, as rumors circulate over him fighting any number of online personalities, he’s decided to go one step further to launch his own promotional company. 🥊 ANNOUNCED: KSI has partnered with Wasserman Boxing and will be working with Kalle and Nisse Sauerland (plus his management Proper Loud) to launch his own boxing promotional company. Aim is “”to stage the world’s biggest and best celebrity/crossover boxing events.”” — Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) June 21, 2021 The name of the promotion has not yet been announced, but he is working alongside his record label Proper Loud, Wasserman Boxing, and the Sauerland brothers to make it all come to fruition. “A lot of people ask me what my next move in boxing is,” said KSI in the reveal video. “And whenever I make a move, ladies and gentlemen, it’s always big. “I have partnered with the Sauerland brothers, Wasserman Boxing and Proper Loud to create my own boxing promotion.” https://twitter.com/KSI/status/1406935166770106373 Nisse Sauerland, Director of Boxing at Wasserman, said: “We’re delighted to partner with KSI and Proper Loud on this exciting new venture. We will bring decades of experience and expertise to deliver a new generation of fight fans with the highest production values and greatest match-ups in the world of celebrity and crossover boxing.” The appeal of celebrity crossover boxing events is evident, as we’ve seen with the Paul brothers taking on and beefing with some huge names in combat sports. It’s been heavily rumored that KSI could take on any of Jake Paul, Austin McBroom or Bryce Hall in his next bout, though this will surely be much bigger for the space than another fight. While we await more details on the new promotion, including its name, the biggest question is who will be headlining the promotion’s first card?

KSI lashes out at Logan & Jake Paul after allegedly dodging boxing rematch Logan Paul, KSI, Jake Paul – YouTubePopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji is hitting back at Logan Paul, after being accused of dodging their upcoming boxing rematch – as well as being challenged to yet another fight by Jake Paul. KSI denied any claims of dodging the rematch in a video on February 23, in response to Logan’s speculation that KSI was “losing motivation” for their fight. “I want to fight you,” KSI argued. “I said November. You gotta remember, I’m still the champ, so I decide how this goes.” The YouTuber went on to clarify that both he and Logan’s teams are in talks to organize their rematch, which KSI scheduled for an as-yet unverified date in November of 2019. Read More: Elon Musk finally hosts PewDiePie’s ‘Meme Review’ in last-ditch effort to fend off T-Series – “Are we gonna fight? Yes,” KSI continued. “…our teams are talking, so that’s good. Shit will happen. I don’t know when, but shit will happen.” While KSI initially dismissed Jake Paul’s challenge toward him, he later went on to entertain the idea, noting that Logan’s viewership has dropped dramatically since August of 2018 – and even took shots at his relationship with Instagram model Corinna Kopf, in the process. “You’re seeing someone, right?” KSI taunted. “…it’s the girl that literally every male YouTuber is linked to. Why is your girl tweeting me on Valentine’s Day?” While KSI and Logan Paul’s rematch was allegedly scheduled for February of 2019, fans will have to wait until November for closure, as no state nor venue have been officially slated for the fight.

KSI laughs at fans paying £1,000+ for re-sold PRIME bundles KSI recently released his limited-edition PRIME bundles, which include apparel and an exclusive flavor, and fans are already reselling them on eBay for over £1,000. Logan Paul and KSI’s PRIME has seen unprecedented success over the past year, becoming a hydration beverage that rivals the greats like Gatorade and Body Armor. With two iconic content creators being the faces of the drink, it’s easy to see why PRIME has become a global phenomenon. But this success story has had its fair share of controversies separate from Logan and KSI. Due to shortages in the UK, scalpers have sold the highly-demanded drinks for a premium. Wakey Wines has gone viral for reselling PRIME products for more than 10 times their MSRP. KSI has commented on PRIME scalping a few times. He was outraged with Wakey Wines in a TikTok, and responded to a user on Twitter recently regarding the difficulty of stopping scalpers. And with the announcement of his UK-exclusive PRIME x KSI bundles, it was only a matter of time before scalping picked back up. KSI x PRIME bundles sell for £1,000+ The limited-edition KSI x PRIME bundles went on sale exclusively in the UK on Friday, February 17. The box could be purchased on the official UK Store Page for $39.99, and the limited edition flavor can be found in Sainsbury’s stores. Like clockwork, sellers have already appeared on eBay UK, listing the exclusive bundles for several times their original price. At the time of writing, an auction boasting a medium shirt, bandana, and 12 bottles of KSI’s limited-edition PRIME flavor is sitting at £1,040.00, with 27 bids. And with four days left in the auction, KSI shared a screenshot of the auction on Twitter. He captioned the post, “wth lol,” laughing at fans willing to pay 26 times the box’s original price. One of KSI’s followers vented their frustrations under KSI’s post. “People buying the bundles and selling them when poor kids miss out on getting them… kids like my son miss out,” she stated. KSI replied, “Luckily, Sainsbury’s has A LOT, so people won’t have to pay stupid amounts just to drink it.” This seemingly eased the fears of the fan hoping to get the PRIME flavor for their son. So, while the flavor and exclusive bundle aren’t slated to be released in the US, buyers still have options to secure the limited-time merch… it just comes at a steep price.

KSI knocks out “Logan Paul” in debut G FUEL trailer GFUEL, Logan Paul Vlogs – YouTubePopular YouTuber Olajide William ‘KSI’ Olatunji is known for his famed rivalry with social media star Logan Paul, which saw the two throw down in the boxing ring last year – and, more recently, on the set of a G FUEL commercial. KSI was announced as part of the G FUEL family on June 13, marking another internet superstar as part of their ranks, standing alongside the likes of Twitch streamer Dr Disrespect and YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg. However, his announcement was made with more than just a simple Tweet – KSI made another debut with the company in a hilarious commercial, which capitalized on his boxing prowess and challenging attitude. From knockin’ fools out in the ring, to tearin’ it up on the pitch, to droppin’ bars in the booth – There’s pretty much nothing that YouTube Superstar, #KSI can’t do! And now, HE’S OFFICIALLY A MEMBER OF THE #GFUEL FAMILY!!! LET’S FRICKIN GO pic.twitter.com/yWwQDHyJyH — G FUEL® #E3 (@GFuelEnergy) June 13, 2019 The commercial shows KSI clad in boxing apparel, walking through a backstage scene complete with a circus act and a fruit seller. The video ends with KSI stepping into the boxing ring to knock out a Logan Paul double with a single punch – likely a reference to their upcoming rematch in November 2019. While KSI has yet to announce a special shaker or flavor with the company, his partnership with G FUEL follows even more beef with Paul, which saw KSI accuse Logan Paul of using the death of his dog for views. Paul’s Pomeranian, Kong da Savage, passed away in early April, after the pup was taken from his yard by two coyotes, as shown by security footage of his residence. Despite Paul seeming genuinely upset by the ordeal, KSI poked at a sore spot and accused him of making his video on the topic for profit, after Paul insulted his New Age music tour. KSI’s G FUEL partnership likewise follows his feud with his little brother, Deji, who accused him of years of physical and mental abuse – and even threatened legal action against his older sibling, should he make a video over the subject. Despite these threats, KSI uploaded an hour and twenty-minute-long video debunking Deji’s claims, which saw his little bro ultimately decide to hash out the matter in private. KSI and Logan Paul are set to face off in the ring in November 2019, although no venue nor exact date for the bout have been revealed as of June 13.

KSI apologizes to Wade Plem after fiery Twitter tirade YouTube: The W.A.D.E. Concept, JJ Olatunji / Twitter: KSIKSI has apologized to former Misfits Boxing host Wade Plem, after Plem claimed that Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury 2 would sell more tickets than Jake’s highly-anticipated bout with KSI — sparking a massive Twitter tirade from the British creator. KSI is preparing to retire from boxing, claiming he’ll take three fights in 2023 before hanging up his gloves for good. Right now, he’s vying for a bout with Tommy Fury or Jake Paul later this year… but thus far, it’s looking like Paul isn’t showing interest in taking a fight with his rival across the pond. Initially, KSI hoped to fight Jake before his rematch with Tommy Fury, or at least only if he wins, claiming another loss for ‘The Problem Child’ would potentially kill all hype for the bout. With Jake aiming for a rematch this summer, KSI’s plans are looking more and more unstable — and doubt is looming in some of his circles, as well. KSI lashes out at “two-faced” Wade Plem for hyping up Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury 2 Wade Plem, a content creator and host of KSI’s promotional company, Misfits Boxing, says he doesn’t see KSI vs Jake Paul happening at all, and even argued that Paul vs Fury 2 has the potential to sell more pay-per-views than KSI vs Jake Paul. “We heard from Jake in the IMPAULSIVE podcast, he does not think that the KSI fight sells like a Tommy Fury rematch and a Floyd Mayweather fight,” Plem explained in a March 20 YouTube video. “And I don’t know that I can disagree with him right now.” (Topic begins at 6 minutes) KSI appeared to take issue with Plem’s stance on the subject and took to Twitter to blast the Misfits host, calling the creator “two-faced” and “fake” in a string of now-deleted tweets. “This man acts like he knows everything about boxing,” KSI wrote. “He doesn’t know sh*t. You’re not that guy. Can’t believe Sharky let this snake into my box. F*ck off.” “This Wade guy plays all sides,” he continued his rant. “Trying to please everyone. You are so fake, omg. F*ck you and everything you stand for, you two-faced ****.” A Twitter Space soon followed that saw KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, publicly decry Plem and seemingly kick the creator from Misfits, saying, “Have fun on KingPyn.” Shortly after, reports from Fred Beck claimed Wade had indeed been let go. “Obviously, there is more to it than just today’s video,” Mams Taylor allegedly said. “It wasn’t over today he got fired, it’s been long coming.” Plem himself is now advertising his services, saying in the Space: “I may as well promote it now, as I’m not working for Misfits, that I’ll be working for the PFL.” He later left a single comment on Twitter at first, one to sum up his feelings on the situation, saying, “What just happened?” Before long, Plem followed up with a more in-depth statement, arguing back while claiming he has “never switched up” on KSI. “My opinions of a potential fight don’t reflect my opinion of you as a person or a fighter. I’ve always respected you as both.” KSI addresses outburst at W.A.D.E. Concept over Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury opinion KSI went on to address fans’ reaction to his tirade and apologized for taking things public, but held firm that he’s unhappy with Plem for ‘switching up’ on him in person. “To you it’s an overreaction, but to me, it’s a buildup of a lot of things behind the scenes,” he wrote in another tweet. “You can have a public opinion, but don’t come to me on a switch up when you see me in person.” “Sorry for my outburst but I’m human, I’m gonna get angry sometimes.” That’s not all; on March 21, KSI offered a public apology to Plem on Twitter, saying his now-deleted posts were “way out of character.” “We’ve already spoken privately, but I wanted to publicly apologize, too,” he wrote. KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, also spoke out on the situation with an additional reply to Plem for what he said about the host in the fiery Twitter Spaces chat that broke out amid the initial confusion. “I apologized to Wade for allowing my emotions and passion to take over by firing him on Spaces,” Taylor said. “That wasn’t cool, and I’m sorry I did that.” Plem has yet to comment on these apologies at the time of writing. For now, it’s unclear if Jake vs KSI will ever end up happening — but it’s clear that this incident has stoked a fire that could draw some eyes from The Problem Child as he gears up for his rematch with Fury.

KSI, Jake Paul, and Anderson Silva ignite on Twitter after Silva training KO rumors YouTube: JJ Olatunji / Instagram: jakepaulAhead of the Jake Paul and Anderson Silva bout, KSI has ignited debate on Twitter involving the two stars. It comes after Silva spoke about getting “knocked out” in sparring, although the claims were reportedly exaggerated. Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva is shaping up to be the bout of the year, and KSI wants a piece of the cake too. As YouTube boxing’s finest goes up against one of the best to ever compete in combat sports, KSI started rubbing his hands over comments Silva got knocked out twice in training and was a sure bet to lose his fight against Paul as a result. “Anderson Silva has said that he’s been knocked out twice before his fight against Jake Paul,” he said on October 26. “Think we know how this is gonna go… Jake Paul will obviously win this.” However Silva refuted the claims, saying the claims of him being knocked out were exaggerated due to his English: “Young man please don’t try and spread rumors that were simply bad English. You and Jake are such an inspiration to the youth. Build together. Don’t burn.” That comment about Jake Paul being an inspiration sent KSI flying into the other camp though all guns blazing, talking about his lack of respect for the younger brother. “I have no respect for Jake. He is no inspiration. Only thing he wants to build is himself. He’s destroyed more bridges than a tsunami. Either way, my bad. Good luck in your fight.” And with comments like that, it was only a matter of time until Paul chipped in with his own blows at KSI — someone he’s wanted to fight for some time. “Smart to bow down to the GOAT,” Jake quipped back. “When I see you, you are getting Jordan Poole’d you little b*tch.” The exchange has only increased the hype of the October 29 bout, where Paul and Silva will settle their own discussions once and for all. It’s expected to be a sell-out in Arizona, breaking ticketing records set by the UFC.

KSI blasts Jake Paul’s compliments of “insane” Lil Wayne collab YouTube: JJ Olatunji / Instagram: jakepaulKSI has responded after Jake Paul had an unexpected reaction to the YouTuber collaborating on a song with his “idol” Lil Wayne. Jake Paul and KSI have been going back on forth on social media for over a year at this point, repeatedly challenging each other to fights and taking jabs at one another via social media. KSI released his song ‘Lose’ with Lil Wayne in early August, and he didn’t hesitate to use that to taunt Jake, who has previously referred to the rapper as his “idol.” However, the youngest Paul brother had a rather unexpected reaction to the collab. In a TikTok duet, he wrote: “Damn… congrats this is actually insane. You’ve been killing it with your music. You’re showing the world that ‘YouTubers’ can accomplish anything. No hate. Keep it up,” complimenting KSI’s tune. Click here if TikTok doesn’t load This was not the reaction many expected him to have, especially given their long-time rivalry. KSI finally responded in a YouTube video uploaded on August 28. “It definitely lowkey burned him but this was the correct response. It was a good response,” he said initially but went on to question Jake’s intentions. Topic starts at 2:56 “‘Haha, no hate buddy! It’s so fantastic what you’re doing for YouTubers. Really breaking the barrier,’ f**k off. F**k you, Jake. Jake’s just playing the game. Fair play, you know he’s probably bamboozled a lot of you but nah f**k him. I don’t care, man, I don’t care,” the Brit added, mocking Jake. The Paul brother is set to fight Tyron Woodley in a highly anticipated event on August 29, and with KSI featuring on the star’s boxing ‘hit list’ it could mean that the will pair step into the ring together as one of Jake’s future fights.

KSI challenges Gross Gore to fight after Logan Paul rematch comments YouTube boxing king JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji isn’t resting on his laurels after his fight victory over Logan Paul, issuing a challenge to Twitch streamer Ali ‘Gross Gore’ Larsen after he provoked the champion on Twitter. KSI and Logan Paul’s boxing duels have taken the internet by storm over the last couple of years. After the first fight back in 2018 resulted in a draw, the British YouTuber came out on top on November 9 in a triumphant split decision victory. KSI retained his YouTube Boxing Champion belt, but he isn’t just holding onto that one victory. As more challengers approach, KSI is entertaining the possibility of sparring off against some of the internet’s most divisive personalities, including Gross Gore. The League of Legends streamer got involved in the second bout after sending a message to Logan Paul on November 8 asking the American to “f*cking knock out” the Brit. “If you don’t f*cking knock him out Logan Paul, I’ll do it myself,” he said. “Knock him out, I need this in my life.” KSI took the request as a challenge, tweeting a sparring invite at Gross Gore on December 2. “Lets spar and see if you can knock me out then,” he said. The tweet wound up the streamer, with Gross Gore releasing a video reply telling KSI to “delete your tweet right now.” Lets spar and see if you can knock me out then… https://t.co/tuCqSgQew5 — ksi (@KSI) December 2, 2019 “What the f*ck is this bruv, I’ve had Ninja on my d*ck and now you want to pop me,” he said. “Well come on then bruv, your fight was so sh*t I fell asleep on that couch. I ain’t f*cking joking.” “You’ve got a big f*cking ego because you’ve gone and beaten Logan Paul — whoopty f*cking doo. Now you’re gonna try and pop me bruv? You’ve been training for three years, I’ve trained once in my life, but give me three months and I will f*ck you up so hard and shut your little f*cking ego down.” Read more: Deji slams Jake Paul’s rematch invite – KSI didn’t stop there though, replying to the streamer’s December 2 rant with a date in mind. “I’ll wait three months, see you in March,” he said. Gross Gore retweeted the reply, but it’s not clear whether both parties are adamant on such a matchup. Lol ok, I’ll wait 3 months. See you in March 😊 https://t.co/kAoQOGwOYP — ksi (@KSI) December 3, 2019 Gross Gore has been in the spotlight recently after calling Mixer star Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins’ a “stupid w*nk” after his comments on the True Geordie podcast criticizing the streamer. The content creator is known for his rants on Twitter, varying in topics from gaming to entertainment news. There might be some weight behind the fight challenge from KSI to Gross Gore, but nothing is set in stone yet. Given how long it took to prep the Logan Paul rematch, angling for a three-month turnaround on a proper fight might not be possible, but KSI is ready to defend his title from whoever dares to challenge him.

Jake Paul accepts KSI’s massive “winner takes all” boxing fight offer YouTube: KSI/Jake PaulYouTube star KSI has made a pretty massive fight offer to Jake Paul for a potential clash in 2023, as he wants to fight his longtime rival at Wembley Stadium, and Jake is onboard. This summer was meant to mark the return of YouTuber boxing events in a big way. After a hiatus from fighting, Jake Paul was initially scheduled to fight Tommy Fury, but that fell apart due to travel issues. Fury’s replacement, Hasim Rahman Jr., was also pulled from a fight with Jake due to issues with Rahman making weight. On the other side of the Atlantic, KSI – Jake’s longtime rival – confirmed he’d be stepping into the ring for the first time since 2019, as he was supposed to fight Alex Wassabi. However, Alex suffered a concussion during a training camp and has been replaced by Swarmz – someone KSI has collaborated with previously. With the pair’s original fights being scrapped, many fans want to see them square off, but that’s not going to happen this summer – despite Jake’s offer to step in as a late replacement. Though, the superfight looks like it should happen in 2023. KSI offers to fight Jake Paul at Wembley in 2023 That’s right, as KSI’s bout with Wassabi fell apart, Jake offered to step in and make the trip across to London for the fight. However, the Brit said that fight would be better waiting for as it could be done on a massive scale. Following up on that, KSI has offered to fight Jake in 2023, and yes, has got a massive plan for it. “I’m gonna send you a contract. We fight next year. Wembley Stadium. Winner of the fight takes all. 100% of the purse will be on the line,” he tweeted on August 8, tagging Jake. “Put your money where your mouth is and let’s finally end this. Will you accept?” Jake has since responded to KSI’s offer and has one condition, he wants his longtime rival to admit that he is the better boxer – which KSI has obliged with. A superfight at Wembley, which has the capacity to hold 90,000 fans, would easily be the biggest YouTube boxing event to date – and probably in history. Though, we’ll just have to wait and see how things unfold as both men will want to fight other opponents before squaring off against each other.

KSI hosts PewDiePie’s Meme Review and it’s absolutely hilarious YouTube: PewDiePieJJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji teamed up with YouTube king Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg to host his epic Meme Review show. The collaboration left the two content creators in tears of laughter. [jwplayer mgzBNoPb] With over 107 million subscribers to his channel, PewDiePie is arguably one of the internet’s biggest sources for online humor. His wildly popular Meme Review segment tackles the latest trending jokes, and has even had Tesla CEO Elon Musk on it, amongst other celebrities. For his November 22 episode, the Swedish star collaborated with fellow YouTuber KSI. The British personality broke down in hysterics of laughter while acting as a co-host for the hilarious show. KSI hosts Meme Review with PewDiePie To celebrate the epic collaboration, PewDiePie had his co-host review British memes. JJ was floored with laughter while also pointing out that most of the jokes were inaccurate about his culture. “Clearly some American wrote this,” 27-year-old joked. However, one meme flew over both of the content creators’ heads when it said that a British website used biscuits instead of cookies to improve the user experience. “What? Nah. That’s outrageous! We don’t use biscuits as currency! That wouldn’t work anywhere,” KSI laughed. Pewds was equally as stumped: “I don’t get it.” Another hilarious moment came when KSI tried to explain to PewDiePie what the British slang “dun know” means. “Dun know, you know that it means,” he said. “Like, you don’t know?” PewDiePie asked. JJ laughed and explained, “Nah, it’s like ‘ah, yeah!’” which just left the YouTuber even more confused. (Topic starts a 02:53) The duo also hilariously had a debate over the UK’s use of “crisps” instead of “chips” after reacting to a meme that called British computer microchips “microcrisps”. “I’ve lived here eight years, and I still don’t say crisps. I don’t get it,” Kjellberg said. Laughing, Olatunji sarcastically replied, “Oh my god, I hate my life.” This isn’t the first time the pair have teamed up. In 2020, the YouTubers have had a back and forth trolling each other. During his November 2 video, PewDiePie tricked KSI by uploading an awful “fanart” to his subreddit which received thousands of upvotes. The Meme Review episode marks their first proper collaboration which is sure to be a treat for both stars’ massive fan bases. Their show ended with Pewds and JJ attempting to make music together using a flute and an alpine horn – which was hilarious, to say the least.

KSI fires back at Justin Bieber’s comments ahead of Logan Paul rematch KSIOlajidebt, YouTube / Justin Bieber, InstagramYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul will finally settle their beef in the net’s most highly-anticipated boxing rematch on November 9 – and a major celebrity has gotten involved in their feud. While the two social media celebs made headlines in 2018 during their initial bout, their 2019 rematch is catching the attention of massive names in the entertainment sphere as November 9 draws ever closer. In fact, pop sensation Justin Beiber even weighed in on the Logan Paul vs KSI rivalry in an Instagram comment on September 20, calling for Paul to “rip [KSI’s] head off.” an interview with TMZ a week later. Rather than being offended by Bieber’s words, the YouTuber appeared to be pumped at being recognized by the singer, claiming that he hopes Justin will be sitting ringside, should he prove him wrong. 600https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm3Jh3dhoaD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link“I fucking died,” KSI laughed. “If anything, I thought it was cool as hell. Justin Bieber actually knows me, fam. That’s ridiculous! …if anything, it’s gonna be more funny when I knock out Logan. I hope Justin Bieber is gonna be ringside, so after I knock out Logan, I can go up to him and be like, ‘So whose head was gonna get ripped off?’” That’s not all: KSI also had a brutal final message for Bieber when asked by the interviewer, saying, “F*** you Justin. F***ing suck on my d***!” This wouldn’t be the first time a celebrity has started beef with YouTube boxers, by far: in fact, American rapper Soulja Boy butted heads with Jake Paul in February, with Paul even putting a whopping $20 million on their proposed bout. While it seemed like the two were set to throw down in the boxing ring on November 9, promoter Eddie Hearn has stated that he wants the rematch undercard to feature pro boxers only – leaving Jake without a fight at the time of writing. With Justin Bieber yet to respond to KSI’s comments, both fans and critics alike will have to wait for their proposed meeting on November 9, should Bieber actually show up to the rematch.

KSI hits out at his parents for giving Deji access to his financials for a diss track Popular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has hit out at his parents for giving his brother Deji Olatunji access to his financial records for use in a diss track. Deji is embroiled in a feud with rapper Andrew ‘Randolph’ Shane, after the musician declared the YouTuber’s channel was “dead.” Olatunji responded by saying that Shane should keep quiet as his channel was dead too, prompting the Randolph to release a track about Deji titled ‘MANCHILD’. Deji then released his own diss track called RAN to fight back against Randolph, a track that his brother JJ decided to react to for a YouTube video. KSI seemed to be enjoying the video, until Deji began to talk about Randolph’s wife, and more specifically their wedding, stating that his wedding was “shit”, before revealing that he believed JJ paid for his wedding, including a screenshot of a payment made by KSI to Randolph. “Wait, that’s out of order,” said JJ, clearly annoyed. “Don’t get me involved in this shit, I’m just watching.” “That’s on my parents man. Mum, dad, I’m actually disappointed that you would let him into my accounts and post it publicly. That’s actually pissed me off. I didn’t even pay for his wedding, that was a gift. Don’t you fucking dare put my information out like that, I keep that shit private.” While KSI was frustrated at his finances being displayed, the YouTuber did enjoy the track, saying: “Listen, the beat bangs. Lyrically, Deji did well. I don’t know when he learned to rap, but he does now. I thought this was sick.” Deji released the track on Monday, November 26, and while Randolph has reacted to the track on his channel, he has yet to confirm whether he will release a second track in response to RAN.

KSI hits out at Logan Paul for “disrespecting YouTube” YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul threw down for the last time in their November 9 boxing rematch, with KSI emerging the victor by split-decision – but it doesn’t look like their beef is over, just yet. KSI and Logan Paul have been spatting back and forth following their rematch, with “The Maverick” even petitioning the boxing commission to reverse their two-point deduction, which ultimately cost him the victory. However, LP has been rather quiet as of late, due to taking time off for a bender in Hawaii and focusing on his “imPaulsive” podcast – but that isn’t stopping KSI from taking a few shots at his rival in the interim. KSI appeared on an episode of the KFC Radio podcast on December 10, where he called out Paul for what he deemed as disrespect for being a YouTuber. “I don’t like him,” KSI admitted. “How he is as a person, the whole ‘Suicide Forest’ thing, his ego – and how he just disrespects YouTube, as well. I don’t f*** with that. He said something like, he doesn’t respect being a YouTuber because he sees that YouTubers don’t get respect.” While it’s no secret that Logan has been aiming for a career in professional fighting since his first match with KSI in 2018, he likewise admitted that he hoped to step away from YouTube to pursue other ventures, calling the profession “wack” in an Instagram story that went viral across the YouTube community in March 2019. “He doesn’t really want to be a YouTuber, he’s just using it as a stepping stone,” KSI continued. “As a person that started from YouTube, you know, you always have to respect where you’ve come from. Never bite the hand that feeds you.” Where Paul hopes to step into MMA and stand-up comedy, KSI has likewise branched out into the music industry, releasing his single “Down Like That” featuring Rick Ross and Lil Baby – but it doesn’t seem that he’ll give up his title of “YouTuber” anytime soon, despite the success of his side hustles.

KSI hits out at critics trying to cancel him as transphobia accusations resurface YouTube: JJ OlatunjiPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has hit out at critics trying to cancel him again as accusations of transphobia have resurfaced. Earlier in March 2021, the YouTube star was accused of transphobia due to his use of transphobic slurs in his Twitter posts. At the time, he apologized for his ignorance, not realizing that the word he used was a slur and that he wasn’t to say it, explaining that he “didn’t even know it was a bad word.” Now, about a month later, it appears the comments are building up again, and KSI has addressed people trying to “cancel” him over the ordeal. My bad for saying transgender slurs. Honestly didn’t even know they were slurs. I know now though — ksi (@KSI) March 9, 2021 In his April 15 YouTube upload, KSI spoke out about it once again, clearly not impressed with the issue cropping up for a second time. “I don’t understand,” he explained. “Me saying that word… I’m transphobic? Why would that benefit my life? I just don’t understand why. Why would I do that?” He continued: “The thing is with Twitter, once they get a hold of a narrative, they just will never let that go. ‘Yep, this is him, and he will never change. No, it’s what I think he is! So deal with it!’ Shut up… F**king idiots.” Timestamp 8:50 Laughing at some memes surrounding the situation posted on Reddit by his fans, KSI does seem to have moved on from the matter, even if some of his harsher critics online haven’t. The ordeal has been going for over a month at this point, but it might not be ending any time soon if previous online discourse is anything to go by. At the start of April 2021, KSI quit Twitter, saying that the platform is “full of pretentious people that are ready to cancel & destroy your legacy for breathing incorrectly.” He returned a week later, saying he’ll “use it from time to time.”

KSI hits Jake Paul with brilliant comeback after he mocks his music career YouTube star, Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji, has hit out at rival Jake Paul, after the American took shots at his music career. KSI, who became one of the most popular YouTubers on the platform after creating some of the funniest FIFA content we’ve ever seen, started to make moves in the music industry back in 2011. After initially releasing parody songs alongside his friend and fellow artist Randolph, the 25-year-old brought out his first album, Keep Up, in 2016 which debuted at number 13 in the UK Albums Charts – reaching number one in the UK R&B Album Charts. Jake Paul ridicules KSI’s music career KSI’s latest album, New Age, achieved tremendous success on launch and a subsequent tour was announced – the rapper shared crowd footage from his Bournemouth show, but Jake Paul wasn’t impressed. Paul stated that the video, and the sold out show would be “dope” if the venue wasn’t so small. After not receiving a response, he labelled KSI as a “wasteman”, despite many of his shows actually selling out. no response from the wastemen cause he know he ain’t got ticket sales https://t.co/ECD61YJrk2 — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) May 18, 2019 Eventually, the Sidemen member replied to the American with a savage response, taking shots at the demographic of Paul’s audience. KSI challenged his rival to adopt similar rules to his concerts, which only allow entry to people over the age of 14, insinuating that all of Paul’s audience would be too young to attend. Try and do this and see how many can actually come to your show :shushing: https://t.co/nuF3FNoaCw pic.twitter.com/dENRkDwQ5K — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) May 18, 2019 After a few weeks of silence, the Twitter spat has seemingly reignited the beef between the two YouTubers who have been heavily rumored to be boxing each other in the future. KSI has actively pursued a fight against the Team 10 Member but a rematch against his older brother, Logan, seems more likely at this point.

KSI hits back at Slim threatening to KO him after FaZe Temperrr fight YouTube: KSI/Slim AlbaherYouTube star KSI has hit back at Slim Alhaber after he took issue with the Brit picking FaZe Temperrr as Dillon Danis’ replacement for his next fight. After beating Swarmz and Luis Pineda back in August, KSI noted that he was eager to stay active in boxing and get back into the ring before long. He was supposed to take on former UFC fighter Dillon Danis, someone he has traded plenty of verbal jabs with over the last year or so, but the Mixed Martial Artist pulled out on January 4, forcing KSI to pick a replacement. FaZe Temperrr was quickly announced as Danis’ replacement, and plenty of fans voiced their excitement about it being a “better” fight for KSI. Though, fellow YouTuber Slim didn’t agree, given he’s already beaten Temperrr. KSI responds to Slim’s claim he’d ‘slump’ him Slim took down Temperrr on the undercard of KSI’s two fights in one night card, and is also looking to stay active himself. He called out the Brit after the new fight was announced, saying he “felt” like he “deserved” that spot. He even went at KSI on Twitter, claiming that he’d add him to the list of fighters he’s already “slumped” with a knockout. Naturally, KSI hit back. “You wouldn’t at all. The idea of having 2 misfits belts sounds good to my ears though…,” the British YouTuber said, leaving fans with a tease for what could be his next fight. Some fans agreed with Slim’s claims, seeing as he has bragging rights over Temperrr, but they also noted that they can see where the beef between him and KSI is going. Slim himself added that he’s “too dangerous” and that’s why Temperrr makes sense for KSI. Should KSI keep his unbeaten streak going against the FaZe member, then a fight with Slim makes perfect sense. It’s something that fans want to see, and there’s already trash talk on both sides, so let’s see if it happens.

KSI hits back at Logan Paul’s “honest” fight prediction Things are heating up between YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul ahead of their boxing match on November 9, and now JJ ‘KSI‘ Olatunji has responded to Paul’s “honest” fight prediction on Twitter. Just days prior to one of the biggest dates on the YouTube calendar, Logan Paul tweeted out, in great detail, what his “honest fight prediction” is, saying: “JJ will try to outbox me & very quickly realize he can’t. Then, he’ll resort to bad habits, get wild like he did last year, but it won’t work because I’ll pick him apart… he’ll get frustrated, remember this tweet, and then I will knock him out.” my honest fight prediction: JJ will try to outbox me & very quickly realize he can’t. then, he’ll resort to bad habits, get wild like he did last year, but it won’t work because i’ll pick him apart… he’ll get frustrated, remember this tweet, and then i will knock him out.— Logan Paul (@LoganPaul) November 3, 2019 Just half an hour later, KSI responded with a simple explanation as to why he believes Paul’s prediction is inaccurate, referring back to the tiredness he showed in the first fight. saying: “Think you forgot about your terrible stamina.” Think you forgot about your terrible stamina 😉 https://t.co/tu6qybtSvC — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) November 3, 2019 In the first fight, many believed that while Logan Paul was winning in the first couple of rounds, his stamina started to let him down as the match progressed and that is what allowed KSI to get some round wins in. Needless to say, Paul has likely been addressing stamina as one of his main priorities in the lead-up to the rematch and will be hoping for this not to be an issue when the day comes. The fight between KSI and Logan Paul takes place on November 9 in Los Angeles’ Staples Center, with both seeking revenge after their draw in August 2018. The decision was somewhat divisive but made for a perfect reason for the two to face off again to find out who truly is the best boxer on YouTube.

KSI hits back at Ricegum and accuses him of lying about earnings Ricegum / KSIAfter being called petty and having his music dissed by Ricegum, KSI has finally responded and disputed specific claims made by his former collaborator. If you haven’t been following the KSI and Ricegum beef, kudos for having more productive distractions. If you have been following it, kudos for appreciating the art that is silly, juicy internet drama. And, whether you’re in either camp, we’re continuing to set the table for all the spice these two former collaborators are serving up. In the latest course, KSI explains that he’s sick of Ricegum “dissing” him and “chatting s**t” about how their earnings from the “Earthquake” video were split. For some brief context, the pair were buddies back when they dropped the aforementioned video in 2017, but have since fallen out. The details of their debilitated relationship weren’t revealed until this week when Rice appeared on KEEMSTAR’s DramaAlert to explain the beef. As he dictates, he wanted, but was denied, a free ticket from the British star 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 (before re-uploading it because it had gotten so many views). But KSI now refutes those claims and rebukes that he simply got sick of him trying to attack the UK YouTuber’s music: “Rice, I unfollowed you because you’ve been dissing 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 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 KSI’s ire, the latter 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].” But one, particularly juicy issue requires the talents of fact-checkers. Ricegum 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.” The Brit 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.” While both come out of this seeming fairly petty, that does make for quality drama. Ricegum has yet to respond to this earnings dispute, but it may be time to break out the paperwork and settle the facts.

KSI hits back at RiceGum’s “weird” comments about his girlfriend and music career YouTube: JJ Olatunji/RiceGumThe KSI and RiceGum beef has been reignited, with the Brit slamming RiceGum over comments he has made about his girlfriend and ever-growing music career. While Rice and KSI once got along just fine thanks to their connections through FaZe Clan, the pair have fallen out in the years since, with Rice accusing KSI and his YouTube group Sidemen of “using him for clout,” among other things. While the pair have had their fair share of back and forths, things appear to have reached a fever pitch, after KSI watched a video of RiceGum talking about him, his girlfriend and his music. In the video, Rice made a number of disparaging remarks, leaving KSI utterly perplexed. RiceGum targets KSI’s girlfriend At first, RiceGum decided to target KSI’s girlfriend, whose identity is unknown and prefers to keep their relationship hidden from public view. “It’s just a waste of clout bro,” RiceGum said in the clip. “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’. Timestamp: 9:01 KSI rips into RiceGum’s musical prowess Following these comments in the clip, RiceGum decides to watch the video for KSI’s latest single ‘Holiday’, which 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 the British entertainer and even mocks RiceGum’s “dead” song streams on Spotify. KSI concludes that RiceGum is “f**king salty,” agreeing with a fan that he’s mad because he “will never be as successful.” While RiceGum has built a huge fan base on Twitch, KSI’s international appeal, which is becoming more and more mainstream over time, has firmly asserted himself as a high-level celebrity. Whether that’s the problem at the root of their beef, though, is unclear.

KSI hits back at Jake Paul’s claims that he’s “scared” to fight YT: JJOlatunji/IG: JakePaulPopular British YouTuber and rapper Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has hit back at Jake Paul’s claims that he’s ‘scared’ of a boxing match, as the wait for a fight between the two men goes on. Despite the pair being heavily rumored to be setting up a fight for months now, a boxing match between KSI and Jake Paul has not yet materialized. KSI has now overcome Jake’s older brother Logan across two fights, while the younger Paul brother beat out Deji before breezing past AnEsonGib in the first round. This, along with the war of words that has raged between the two men for the past few months, led many to believe that one final fight was on the way. However, Paul has since been confirmed as fighting ex-NBA star Nate Robinson on September 12. The fight with Robinson means that any bout between KSI and Jake Paul will likely not happen until 2021, but the pair’s verbal battles have continued. In an August 7 YouTube video, KSI addressed the Paul brothers once again, and responded to claims made by Jake that he is “scared” of a potential fight. Asked by older brother Logan whether he was worried about “over-performing” and scaring KSI, Jake responded: “I think KSI is already scared.” In reply, KSI laughed and said: “Says the guy who made a fake contract, and tried to get me to sign said fake contract. What? I’m scared? Jake, I am not scared, I want to fight you. Trust me. I want to beat the living sh*t out of you.” “But I can’t!” he continued. “You know why? Because we’re in a pandemic right now. I know you don’t care about the pandemic because you literally threw a party during it… can you be more dumb? That’s just incredibly selfish.” Criticism of Paul’s behavior during the ongoing health crisis has been widespread, but some, including Jake himself, have defended it. The pair do look set to fight each other at some point but, as KSI makes clear, the current global situation is not one conducive to travel or large groups of spectators gathering. We will have to wait and see how this one unfolds but, for the time being, neither man is backing down.

KSI hits back at “loser” Logan Paul for mocking his YouTube views KSI, imPaulsive – YouTubeYouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul are feuding once again — this time after Logan Paul mocked his rival’s YouTube views, accusing him of becoming “irrelevant” after their famous boxing rematch. After settling their viral beef once and for all in November 2019, Logan Paul has decided to stir the pot months later, poking fun at KSI’s YouTube views during a May 19 episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast. “I knew if I kept his name out of my mouth, he’d slowly start to fall back into the ugly, dark, deep pit of irrelevancy,” Paul stated. “Boy, was I right. And it shows in his views. …there was a time where he was making fun of me for barely being able to cross two million views, and he can barely do it at this moment in time!” (Topic begins at 36:58 for mobile readers) Paul’s comments didn’t escape KSI’s notice, who quickly clapped back at his rival in a scathing tweet about Logan’s new merch: “Imagine buying merch from a loser. You’re still salty. That’s why you still can’t keep my name out your mouth. You wanna talk views? 130 million views in a month on my 2nd channel. 50 million on my main channel and I’m not even counting Sidemen. I still win. Try again.” Imagine buying merch from a loser lmao. You’re still salty. That’s why you still can’t keep my name out your mouth 😂😂. You wanna talk views? 130 million views in a month on my 2nd channel. 50 million on my main channel & I’m not even counting Sidemen. I still win. Try again 😂 https://t.co/OM5NULCATf — ksi (@KSI) May 20, 2020 That’s not all; both Paul’s “Maverick” merch line and KSI’s upcoming album, “Dissimulation,” drop on the same day — May 22nd, a fact Paul also discussed during his podcast episode, which could hint at further beef between the two stars. Their rivalry aside, it seems that the stats for Logan’s YouTube channel are at a much better state than KSI’s, at least for the past month. According to statistics taken from Social Blade, Paul is averaging more than triple the views on his videos — but this also fails to take into account KSI’s second channel and the Sidemen page. In fact, KSI’s second channel is raking in over 130 million views a month — a fact that KSI made sure to mention in his Tweet clapping back at Logan Paul’s comments. Although Paul has yet to respond to KSI’s callout at the time of writing, this latest development marks yet another chapter in their already storied feud. This, more than likely, will play some role in the build-up to Jake Paul’s proposed boxing match against the British YouTube star, which hasn’t been set in stone yet but is something a lot of fans are anxiously waiting for.

KSI hits back at Jake & Logan Paul after Impaulsive podcast roast Instagram: ksi, loganpaul[jwplayer ftb8P7Xy]After being roasted by brothers Jake and Logan Paul on Logan’s Impaulsive podcast, KSI has hit back, calling out Jake’s “trash” music and laughing off Logan’s claims that Impaulsive is “the number one podcast in the world.” KSI has had a long-running feud with the Paul brothers, with a positive boxing record against Logan and a highly-anticipated future matchup in the works with Jake. More recently, though, music has been the main source of discussion surrounding these artists, with KSI releasing his first EP and a bunch of singles, followed by Jake releasing recent track ‘Fresh Outta London’. After KSI accused Jake of having a ghostwriter, the younger Paul brother denied the claims and, soon after, went on the Impaulsive podcast, where the music and beef between the two played a focal point in discussions. It’s fair to say that the Pauls didn’t have a particularly positive outlook on KSI’s most recent single, Lighter, which is currently his highest-charting song yet, saying that while it’s a good track, his verse “sucks,” with Logan saying he “took a step back” with Lighter. They also questioned his lyricism as well as how much success he’s really seeing with his musical efforts and, as expected, KSI didn’t take it kindly. He kicks off the video addressing Logan’s claims that Impaulsive is the “number one podcast in the world,” looking at where it stands on the iTunes and Spotify UK charts (uncharted and 47th respectively), before explaining his lyrics and why they actually showcase his lyricism. Amid calling Jake’s music trash, accusing him of having ghostwriters and questioning his life decisions, KSI turns his attention to Logan and Impaulsive co-host Mike Majlak, too. “It’s such a shame,” he says. “Whenever Mike and Logan are together, especially on Impaulsive, it’s actually somewhat watchable. But then as soon as Jake arrives… Logan just drops down to Jake’s level and becomes as stupid as him.” KSI then pulls up a number of comments on the video, suggesting a very similar line of thinking: that Jake’s presence is a negative on what Logan says and how he acts. Obviously this feud isn’t dying down any time soon, but their fight may have to be put on hold after Jake’s Calabasas home was raided by the FBI on August 5.

KSI hits back at Jake Paul’s claims that he ducked potential boxing match YouTube: JJ Olatunju, Jake PaulBritish YouTube star KSI is hitting back at rival influencer Jake Paul, who accused him of repeatedly ducking his requests for a boxing match… despite Paul saying he wasn’t interested in throwing down. Jake Paul and KSI are two uber-popular content creators who have taken the boxing world by storm. KSI’s infamous showdowns with Logan Paul, as well as Jake Paul’s repeated victories over top athletes, have placed them firmly on the map in the historic sport. Initially, it seemed a bout between Jake Paul and KSI was in the cards, thanks to Jake’s heated confrontation with his British rival after his victory over AnEsonGib last year. Amidst the ever-rising hype, the global health crisis occurred, prompting KSI to cite health concerns — and his busy music career — as reasons for putting their bout on pause for the time being. KSI just said he needs a pro boxing license to train in the UK? These excuses are getting worse & worse I just moved my whole team across the United States to Miami to train This kid is a millionaire & has all the resources to find a way to train KSI is officially a bitch — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) January 28, 2021 Some time after this, Jake Paul claimed he was “done” talking about a match with KSI; until, that is, KSI appeared to agree to a fight with Austin McBroom, who recently won his bout against Bryce Hall in the YouTubers vs TikTokers event. Paul was quick to call out KSI on social media, writing in a scathing tweet: “Lol. KSI immediately jumping at the opportunity to fight Austin. I guess ‘music tours’ and ‘[redacted]’ were only in the way of him fighting me.” A few days later, KSI has finally replied to Jake’s callour, and his comeback used Jake’s own words against him. Lol. KSI immediately jumping at the opportunity to fight Austin. I guess “music tours” and “COVID” were only in the way of him fighting me 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 20, 2021 KSI replied to Jake’s tweet with an older video of the American influencer responding to KSI asking him if he wanted to fight or not. “I want a straight answer,” KSI asked. “Yes, let’s have a boxing match, or no, I’m a p**y.” “No, I’m a p**y,” Paul replied. “I’m not boxing you, KSI!” While Paul has been adamant about not boxing folks without enough ‘clout’ in the past, it seems that the YouTuber has historically gone back and forth on whether or not KSI is worth his time — but KSI has claimed he is eager to fight Jake once his current musical success has simmered down.

KSI hits back after fans claim 2023 was his “worst year ever” YouTube: JJ OlatunjiKSI has hit back at fans calling 2023 his “worst year ever” and it’s evident he doesn’t agree, with the influencer listing off his various successes last calendar year. Internet personality and professional boxer Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” Olatunji, known professionally as KSI, started the new year with a YouTube video going through “The worst Reddit possible”… aka, Reddit threads about himself. “Honestly, this Reddit has been taken over by haters… haters, Jake Paul fans, and just weirdos,” KSI announced before diving into the video. And it didn’t take long before KSI discovered a post he took issue with after a fan on Reddit claimed 2023 was KSI’s “worst year ever.” “This year [was] quite possibly the worst year of KSI’s career with a lot of [losses] and increase in hate but here’s to a better year in 2024 and nothing but [wins]! Happy New Year’s Eve everyone!” the poster wrote. KSI was seemingly shocked by the claim, taken aback by the argument that 2023 was his worst year. Uncertain whether the original poster had been serious, he began to list his 2023 achievements. “We’ll start with Prime… Prime sold a billion bottles. A billion! Not even a million, not a hundred million… a billion,” KSI said. “Name another content creator that has sold a billion of anything.” He then listed everyone who had been signed for Prime in the last year, including FC Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and the UFC; “Like the list goes on and on and on of how many people we’ve signed and that’s just Prime.” Other achievements KSI listed included getting his song with Oliver Tree in the top 10, fighting three times in sold-out events, and making videos with the Sidemen. “Like fam, if 2023 was the worst year of my life, then f*** me, I need more bad years,” KSI concluded. “I hope this year sucks, give me another s*** year please.” Be sure to check out all the latest entertainment news on our page here.

KSI hits back at claims of “ducking” AnEsonGib for boxing match YouTube: KSIFollowing AnEsonGib’s win over McBroom on September 11, KSI has been under fire as many fans feel the YouTuber turned boxer has been “ducking” a match against Gib. While he may not be credited by many due to his loss, AnEsonGib helped pioneer influencer boxing with his first match against Jake Paul. And while he continued to fight after the loss, his career as a fighter would be overshadowed by the likes of Jake, Logan, and KSI. That was until September 11 when Gib would fight was the Main Event against Austin McBroom during the Social Gloves event. And with an electric win over the CEO of Social Gloves, the internet exploded with a newfound respect for the influencer. Immediately, boxing fans began to demand a rematch between Gib and Jake Paul. But KSI would take to Twitter to congratulate his friend’s victory while also throwing out the possibility of a fight between himself and Gib as well as Gib vs Slim in January. KSI addresses fans saying he “ducked” Gib fight While many fans don’t want to see KSI fight Gib because of their friendship, others felt KSI was “ducking” a fight with Gib by attempting to set him up against Slim. This comes after KSI tweeted that he wanted to face the winner of the McBroom vs Gib matchup. KSI responded to the backlash on Twitter after a user commented, “Reddit ain’t happy bruh.” “Honestly don’t care. People forget that I’m always gonna do what I wanna do (that’s why I’ve been this successful for so long), but they’ll see when I post,” KSI replied. The backlash also came after KSI tweeted calling himself one of the “most dangerous boxers” as they saw his comment as egotistical. Fans expressed how they felt KSI was taking AnEsonGib’s spotlight by trying to lift himself up. A user replied to KSI, “Nowadays a lot of people feel like you can’t back yourself up or talk in a positive way about yourself even when people are slandering your name.” To which KSI added, “I don’t mind being the only one that backs myself because at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.” So, while his fans may not be happy with his tweets following Gib’s big win, it doesn’t seem to phase KSI in the slightest.

KSI highlights key reason why Jake Paul will beat Tommy Fury Despite being rivals, British YouTube phenomenon KSI has explained why he believes Jake Paul will beat Tommy Fury in their upcoming clash. Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have been going back and forth on social media for quite some time and now, the two are finally set to touch gloves in the ring. The upcoming fight, which takes place on December 18, will be Paul’s fifth bout, while it’ll be Fury’s eighth time stepping between the ropes. However, despite the Fury family’s iconic background in boxing, KSI believes that his long-time rival holds a big advantage over the Love Island star. During a recent episode of the SideCast podcast, KSI asked for predictions for the upcoming fight between Paul and Fury. The YouTubers were all in agreement that they’re expecting Tommy to lose the fight. “Yeah, I see Tommy losing, you know why? I see him sh***ing himself on the big stage,” explained KSI. “I think that’s it, he [Jake] knows you’ve got everything, you’re ready, you could f**k him up, but will you be able to act on the night? And he’s just not sure.” However, KSI isn’t the only one questioning if Tommy can handle all the pressure on the big night. During an interview with BT Sport in October, John Fury echoed a similar concern. “All it is with Tommy… he’s young, can he handle a big occasion on the night?” he quizzed. “”Tyson will sort his head out. I’m looking for a Tommy win in explosive fashion.”” John Fury reacts to @tommytntfury v @jakepaul being made for December 18 🍿#PaulFury pic.twitter.com/ozyQKCDnkp — Boxing on TNT Sports (@boxingontnt) October 30, 2021 Previously, the Fury’s coach has also mentioned that Tommy’s boxing career will be “over” if he can’t beat Jake, so the pressure is on. This will also be Jake’s chance to prove he can fight a “real boxer.” In terms of dealing with the pressure, Tommy will have his brother, boxing world champion Tyson Fury, in his corner on the big night in Florida.

KSI hilariously mocks Jake Paul & Joe Weller’s backyard boxing match KSI, Jake Paul – YouTubePopular YouTubers Jake Paul and Joe Weller threw down in a last-minute boxing match on March 23 – but their bout is earning some hilarious criticism from other creators in the space. YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji uploaded a reaction to the match on March 29 after announcing the video two days prior, taking some scathing shots at both combatants in the process. Although KSI felt that the entire match was set up as a “trap” to make Weller look bad from the beginning, he acknowledged that Paul threw a decent body shot near the bout’s end, which ultimately took Weller out – although he didn’t miss an opportunity to insult Jake in doing so. “Joe has literally just been embarrassed this whole video,” KSI said of the match. “Literally this whole video was just a Jake Paul ego-flex.” KSI also roasted Paul’s diss track against Weller, calling the clip “embarrassing” due to Joe’s own role as a backup dancer in the video despite the diss track being against him. “Are you really going this low for clout?” KSI asked. “…Jake Paul is literally mugging off Joe Weller in front of his face, and Joe Weller is pointing at himself! …Joe, have some dignity, man.” KSI even popped off on Jake after watching the diss track, claiming that he hated him more than his long-time rival Logan Paul – and even gave a possible peek at a fight with Jake in the future. “If I have to fuck up your big bro to get to you, Jake, then I’m fucking down, bro,” he said pointedly. Jake Paul and Joe Weller made plans for an impromptu boxing match after Weller announced his seven-day trip to Los Angeles on March 18, leading to a quickly organized fight in Paul’s backyard. Weller ultimately lost the bout after sustaining a well-placed body shot by Paul to the gut, prompting some fans to speculate that Jake had paid Weller off beforehand. Did @jakepaul pay @joe_weller_ to take a fall or is joe really this bad at boxing? — KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) March 27, 2019 Despite the widespread criticism, Weller denied any accusations of taking money from Paul, claiming that he would “never take money to look bad and take a loss” in a self-deprecating Tweet on March 27. I’d never take money to look bad and take a loss LOL I legit do that enough on my own hahah Wish I coulda done better but boxing just ain’t my sport ffs :joyful::sob: — Joe Weller (@joe_weller_) March 27, 2019 In the midst of the speculation, KSI confirmed that his rematch with Logan Paul is still a-go, despite previously shrugging off Logan in favor of Jake. While the fight was scheduled for November 2019, no further details for the rematch have yet been released.

KSI has rejected over $300 million in sponsors according to manager True Geordie / KSIKSI’s manager Mams Taylor has revealed that the YouTube star has turned down over $300 million in deals since they began working together. With over 40 million subscribers combined on his channels, KSI is by far the UK’s biggest YouTuber. From his album debuting at number one on the UK Album Charts to boxing some of the world’s biggest influencers, to even releasing a beverage with former rival Logan Paul, the 30-year-old has amassed a ton of wealth from his various ventures. While it’s hard to estimate exactly how much the YouTube star has made throughout his career, according to his manager it’s enough for him to turn down over $300 million from sponsors in the last couple of years. KSI’s manager reveals over $300 million has been turned down In a recent October 8 podcast with True Geordie, KSI’s manager and Misfits Boxing President Mams Taylor claimed that the YouTube star has turned down hundreds of millions of dollars since they began working with each other in 2018. “JJ and I have rejected maybe 300 plus million dollars since we started working together,” Mams revealed. Geordie went on to explain the deals that were turned down didn’t align with making the YouTuber happy, or were too physically or mentally demanding. “Just from all these things that didn’t align with making him happy, the exertion,” he said. Regardless of turning down hundreds of millions, it’s fair to say that KSI’s wealth is still unimaginable — with Prime alone being valued between eight and ten billion dollars according to his manager. KSI is expected to receive another hefty payday on October 14, as he’s set to step in the ring with professional boxer and Love Island star Tommy Fury to prove he’s the best influencer boxer.

KSI has found a replacement opponent for canceled Alex Wassabi bout YouTube: KSIKS Ivs. Alex Wassabi was set to happen on August 27 before the latter fighter was forced to backout due to a concussion. Instead of canceling the event entirely, the YouTuber-turned-boxer has locked in a match with a familiar opponent The internet was set ablaze by the announcement that JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji vs. Wassabi wouldn’t be going down as promised later this month. While rumors about what caused the two fighters to ran rampant, it soon became clear that Wassabi had been seriously injured. Only a day after the initial news broke, DAZN has made an official update that states that KSI will still be fighting and while it might not be the matchup everyone was expecting, there’s still plenty of drama to be found in the new showdown. Swarmz to take Alex Wassabi’s place in KSI bout at The O2 Swarmz is a footballer, rapper, and even former KSI collaborator, but now the two of them will be facing off in a very different kind of arena. While the two have been friendly in the past, Swarmz previously called out Olatunji during a June live stream and promised that he would knock him out if the two ever squared off. This announcement was teased by KSI as he continued his ongoing rivalry with Jake Paul, who recently canceled his bout vs. Hasim Rahman Jr. Hours before the confirmation made its way to social media, Olatunji claimed that he would honor his word “because my word means something unlike [Paul’s].” While the Wassabi cancelation was surely a disappointment to the eager fan who had been following the weeks-long build-up, it looks like KSI is more than happy to take on a new challenge and deliver a show for the people who show up anyway.

KSI has hilarious interaction with a fan’s mom on her birthday KSI, YouTube / Wikimedia commonsPopular YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji had a hilarious encounter with a fan during one of his ‘one question’ videos – and the interaction got a bit out of hand. The fan popped up in KSI’s discord with a simple favor: it was his mother’s birthday, and he wanted KSI to help her celebrate – and even give her his phone number. “I need a favor from you, alright?” the fan asked. “My mom turns 50 tomorrow and my dad walked out on us… so could you wish her a happy birthday and like, give her your phone number, maybe?” KSI entertained the fan’s request, which led to a hilarious conversation between the three parties that ultimately ended in an apology from the YouTuber. KSI also revealed some pertinent information regarding his boxing rematch with Logan Paul, which he’d slated for November of 2019. Despite his previous announcement on the subject, a fan wanted to know an exact date for the bout – which KSI admitted has not yet been officially scheduled. “I’ve no idea,” KSI answered. “I’m hoping November.” KSI likewise confirmed that the match would not take place on the East Coast in a previous ‘one question’ video, which he expressed some frustration about due to the potential cut in viewership from his UK-based audience. The YouTuber likewise denied any claims of breaking his contract with Paul, instead blaming his opponent for not scheduling a venue on time – or even a state, for that matter.

KSI goes viral after dodging kiss from Astrid Wett during Jay Swingler vs Cherdleys weigh-in YouTube: DAZN Boxing, KSIYouTube star KSI is going viral for narrowly dodging a smooch from OnlyFans model Astrid Wett during weigh ins for the Jay Swingler vs Cherdleys boxing event coming up this weekend. KSI’s ‘Misfits Boxing’ promotional company is holding its second event on October 15, gathering together a slew of influencers to settle their differences in the ring. The card’s main event will see a UK vs USA showdown between American content creator Cherdleys and British influencer Jay Swingler. Also on the card are two female influencers, marking the second-ever major female influencer boxing match in history. This fight will see OnlyFans model Astrid Wett face off against fellow influencer Keeley — although their bout has decidedly more drama than the record-breaking match between JustaMinx and YodelingHaley that took place at Creator Clash over the summer. KSI narrowly dodges sudden kiss from model Astrid Wett during boxing weigh-in The two women faced off during their weigh-ins on October 14 to spout some trash-talk when Keeley started searching the crowd for Astrid’s boyfriend as part of a gag. “Do you think if I had a boyfriend I would do this?” Astrid shot back at her opponent, before reaching up to give KSI a kiss. Unfortunately for Astrid, KSI used his boxing prowess to dodge her unexpected smooch with ninja-like speed, unable to contain his laughter at the incredulous moment. When asked about his thoughts on Astrid’s failed kiss by the host, KSI merely laughed and said, “That’s my thoughts. Laugh.” (Topic starts at 33:58) Astrid Wett responds after KSI rejects her kiss on stage Astrid gave her response to getting rejected by KSI in a later interview, where she expressed that she hopes the YouTube star will return her affections sometime in the future. “I saw an opportunity. He’s a good-looking guy, so why not?” she said. “It didn’t pay off, but I’m hoping it will one day.” Luckily, it looks like the two are on good terms, as footage released after the weigh-ins show KSI giving Astrid a hug and saying “It’s okay.” It looks like Astrid got swerved pretty hard by KSI, and viewers can’t help but point out the moment in the comments section of the VOD — but some are wondering if the influencer wasn’t dodging the kiss to get out of trouble with a possible girlfriend. KSI has historically been silent on his romantic relationships, only opening up about his love life in November 2021 when he revealed he’d just broken up with his girlfriend by posting a cryptic “single and alone” message to social media. For now, the state of KSI’s love life is unclear… but he definitely wasn’t interested in Astrid’s sudden display of affection.

KSI Hits Out at Judges of Boxing Match Against Logan Paul – “Absolute BS” After the much anticipated YouTube boxing match between KSI and Logan Paul ended in a somewhat anti-climatic draw, KSI says the “judges got it wrong, straigh up, absolute BS.” The fight took place on August 25 at the Manchester Arena in the UK, with a strong home crowd supporting KSI, as well as millions tuning in live online. After six rounds of fighting, two of the three judges scored both fighters at 58-58, while another gave KSI the edge at 59-57, meaning the decision was a majority draw. Unsurprisingly, both Logan Paul and KSI have since laid claim to the victory, and members of the YouTube community have also given their verdict. After posting on social media to say it was clear he won the fight, KSI has now released a full 30 minute video explaining round by round why he thinks the judges got it wrong. “I’m here to explain, why I won the fight. Judges got it wrong. Straight up. Absolute BS. I’ve watched the fight again and again and again, and I just can’t see how I didn’t win. One of the judges got it right, and then two draws? Please, miss me with that bullshit. Round 1 and 2, fine, Logan beat me. 3, 4, 5 and 6 – come on? So we’re going to go through the fight bit by bit, and I’m going to explain to you, why I feel I won the fight.” KSI also shows off statistics for the match, which would support his claim of deserving the win. According to the stats, Logan may have thrown more punches, but threw with much less accuracy and efficiency, landing only 136 to KSI’s 157. It would also explain why Logan seemed to tire quickly after the opening rounds, as he began to throw less and be less accurate as the fight went on. Scarce Talks About his Self-Consciousness, Boxing Injuries and Fighting for his FatherBefore the first fight, only Logan had access to KSI’s previous fight footage, with Joe Weller, whereas KSI had nothing to go on. Now with the experience behind him, KSI will feel his superior fitness and boxing skill will shine through – but Logan too will have more time to prepare.

KSI gives Tommy Fury deadline for highly-anticipated bout: “You’re disrespecting me” YouTube: JJ Olatunji, Frank Warren’s QueensburyKSI has given Tommy Fury a hard deadline for their proposed boxing match, saying if the British reality star doesn’t sign by a certain date, he’s dropping the bout for good. The beef between KSI and Jake Paul has come to a standstill as KSI looks to face off with the man who defeated him earlier this year — British boxer and TV star Tommy Fury. Fury notably handed Jake his first-ever loss by split-decision in February, and although a rematch was discussed, it looks like both parties are seeking out other opponents in the interim. More specifically, Jake is currently gearing up to face off against UFC star Nate Diaz in the mixed martial artist’s debut boxing match, while Tommy Fury is looking to take down fellow British icon KSI. However, nothing concrete has been laid out between these two personalities. In fact, a contract hasn’t even been signed yet, although the fight seemed to be right on the horizon as fans rumors of the bout’s purported terms flew across social media. Now, though, it seems like KSI is ready to drop the fight if Fury fails to sign a contract by a certain date. KSI furious as he gives Tommy Fury deadline for fight contract The rapper uploaded a video on June 30 outlining his terms, saying he feels “disrespected” by Fury purportedly “moving the goalpost” in negotiations. “Well, ladies and gentlemen, I don’t think this fight is happening anymore,” he said. “Tommy Fury is simply being difficult, and making this four-month negotiation an absolute chore.” “We agreed to all the terms. We agreed on paying you exactly what you asked for, we agreed on the amount of rounds, we agreed to fight at 180 with no rehydration clause. …we agreed on all of that, and then you chose to move the goalpost yet again.” According to KSI, Fury is demanding that they fight at 185 lbs or “not at all,” despite previously claiming he’d be game to fight at any weight in an interview with IFL TV. The YouTuber then outlined his conditions for taking the bout; either Tommy signs the contract by Monday, July 3, at 6 PM BST, or KSI walks. “I need you to listen, you delusional piece of sh*t. You’re disrespecting me, and that’s pissing me off. Sign the contract as it is, else I’m fighting someone else.” Thus far, Fury has yet to respond to KSI’s demands — but we’ll be sure to keep you updated on the situation right here at Dexerto.

KSI gives worried fans an update after “hit and run” car crash incident KSI, InstagramYouTuber and boxer Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, known by many as KSI, has given fans an update after it was reported he was in a car crash. Rumors started to do the rounds on October 13 that the popular content creator has been involved in a car crash, prompting a wave of concern from his fanbase on social media. Fan accounts, such as KSI News and Sidemen Updates, posted messages of support to the Misfits Boxing CEO. He has since responded to reports of a car crash at a Misfits vs DAZN Series 002 event, confirming that it did happen and he wasn’t hurt in the process. KSI responds to car crash rumors He said: “By the way, with the car crash I am good. The guy is being prosecuted and everything because it was a hit and run. He hit us and then dipped out. “But guess what? The police were there, saw the whole thing, chased him down, caught him and put him in cuffs. It was crazy.” According to KSI, the crash took place in the early hours of the morning following a boxing sparring session. “We’re all safe. Everyone is good. Everyone is blessed,” he concluded. The response will certainly put many fans at ease and they can all look forward now to the next time he steps in the ring. The last time he did, KSI beat two opponents – Swarmz and Luis Pineda – August 26, 2022. So far, he has not yet announced his next boxing opponent but rumors have been circulating about an early 2023 fight being penciled in by the YouTuber.

KSI gives surprising response to Deji’s scathing allegations KSI, Deji – YouTubeYouTube brothers KSI and Deji Olatunji are in the midst of a bitter feud, after Deji leaked KSI’s personal information during a diss track video. Now, Deji is refusing to speak to his brother – but KSI is still trying to make amends. Deji uploaded what he hoped to be a “final” video explaining his side of the story on December 8, alleging that KSI’s attempts to apologize to him were “not genuine,” and claimed that he’d even signed off on Deji’s diss track toward him. Despite these scalding claims, KSI has come forward in yet another try for peace, after creating a (now-deleted) video addressing the issue on December 5. KSI published a Tweet on December 9 wishing his brother a happy birthday, alongside a picture of Deji as a child. “Happy birthday Deji,” KSI wrote. “Still here if you wanna talk privately. 😊” While Deji has not responded to KSI directly, he has since thanked “everyone” for their birthday wishes in a short series of Tweets. Happy birthday @Deji Still here if you wanna talk privately :blush: pic.twitter.com/f07FPz3KMz — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) December 9, 2018 Despite KSI’s gesture of goodwill, it doesn’t look likely that Deji will accept his offer of peace anytime soon; Deji claimed that he will have a “hard time” letting KSI back into his life at all, as stated in his “The Truth About My Brother KSI” video. Many fans are taking issue with Deji’s handling of the situation, with even the likes of Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR accusing the YouTuber of milking the feud for views. Deji has fervently denied these claims, and continues to give his brother the cold shoulder despite KSI’s efforts.

KSI gives surprising review of Quadeca diss track After a pair of YouTubers made diss tracks aimed at Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji, it was only a matter of time before he decided to acknowledge the tracks and give his opinions on them. KSI made an appearance on the ‘What’s Good?’ podcast on November 18 where he called out YouTube rappers saying that they were all “trash.” This led to YouTubers Quadeca and Dax making a pair of diss tracks about KSI that have since gone viral on the platform. In his newest video posted on November 27, KSI finally gives the reactions that he says many of his fans have been waiting on. KSI starts with Dax’s track, saying that he’s “saving the best for last,” but he actually ends up giving Dax plenty of praise saying that the track isn’t bad at all. “Rapping wise, it’s pretty sick, bro” KSI said of the diss track. “It’s good that you’re finally stepping up if you want people to notice you.” At that point, KSI moves on to the main focus of the video by diving into Quadeca’s much-hyped diss track. While many certainly would have expected KSI to blast the diss track given his opinion on YouTube rappers, he surprised everyone with a fairly positive review. Overall, KSI wasn’t a fan of the bulk of Quadeca’s disses focused on him not writing his own raps, something that KSI vehemently denies, but he nonetheless concludes that the track is pretty good. “That was sick. You did well there, bro,” KSI offers as his final verdict on the ‘Insecure’ diss track. Read More: MrBeast’s latest campaign is actually helping PewDiePie beat T-Series in the battle for YouTube supremacy – Before ending the video, KSI decides that the track has warranted a response from him and confirms that his own diss track is coming soon.

KSI gives his opinion on Logan Paul fighting in the UFC TMZ / YouTubePopular YouTuber Olajide “KSI” Olatunji expressed his views on Logan Paul’s potential UFC debut in an interview with TMZ sports on September 26. The reporter asked for his response to UFC President Dana White’s thoughts on the matter, where he said that Paul would “get murdered” and “seriously injured” in a legitimate UFC fight. KSI appeared to agree with this sentiment. “I think he’s delusional,” he responded. “He really thinks that he’s gonna do well in the UFC. He’s gonna get fucked.” He wasn’t done there. “He ain’t got no chance,” he continued. “Anyone in the UFC would fuck him up.” However, KSI wasn’t under the impression that he would do any better, himself. “I wouldn’t do shit,” he said when questioned about his own chances in the UFC. “I ain’t got any wrestling… I got nothing. I would get fucked.” He likewise stated that he isn’t currently training for his upcoming rematch with the Viner-turned-YouTuber, which is projected to take place in May of 2019. When questioned about the rematch, KSI appeared confident in his abilities, and said that Paul had just gotten lucky due to their draw. “Imma fuck him up, trust,” he said of their rematch. “He got lucky with the first one.” While Sage Northcutt has expressed an interest in fighting Paul, it doesn’t look as though he will be making an official UFC debut anytime soon, thanks to White’s comments. However, many fighters and UFC fans have applauded both Paul and KSI alike for their business tactics. With over 2.1 million concurrent views during their first fight, there’s no telling how much more successful their rematch will be.

KSI gives second apology over racial slur: “There are no excuses” YouTube: Fred Talks FightingYouTuber JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji has issued a second apology just days after he sparked backlash after using a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video. On April 3, 2023, the Sidemen uploaded a video to YouTube that almost immediately sparked backlash due to a racial slur from popular YouTuber and boxer, KSI. He quickly issued an apology just before announcing his plans to take a break from social media. Since then, he visited a mosque in the UK to educate himself more about the Pakistani community. KSI has now issued a second apology in the form of a video from YouTuber Fred Talks Fighting. KSI issues second apology after racial slur incident JJ addressed the incident in the five-minute video upload on April 5, 2023. “I want to take this opportunity to offer my deepest and most sincere apologies for my words and actions,” he said before mentioning the recent incident. “There are no excuses for what I said, and I recognize that I’ve caused a lot of hurt and disappointment to so many people that look up to me. My ignorance has only reinforced the negative stereotypes that have existed for way too long in this country.” He continued: “I want to express my heartfelt regret for what I’ve said and I want you to know that I am genuinely ashamed and deeply sorry for any pain and suffering I’ve caused. I’ve realized my word have consequences.” KSI went on to mention that he will continue to educate himself on the culture that he offended and will make sure his actions speak louder than his words.

KSI left red-faced over hilarious Great British Bake-Off fail in viral TikTok Mark Bourdillon / Great Celebrity Bake OffKSI is known for many things, including his YouTube success, rap music, and boxing skills, but apparently cooking isn’t his forte after he got roasted on Great British Bake Off in a TikTok video that is taking the internet by storm. KSI has been busy so far in 2021. In addition to hosting a digital concert, being linked to another boxing match, re-uniting with his brother, and collaborating with Logan Paul, he also surprised fans by appearing on an episode of the Great British Bake Off. However, it seems like he isn’t very good at baking Cherry Lattice Pies, after a video of him getting roasted by the co-presenter and fellow competitor Jade Thirlwall has gone viral on TikTok, and people are losing their minds. Ya boy is on #GBBO. Safe to say, you’re not ready for my baking skills 😅. It’s coming out this spring. @BritishBakeOff @SU2CUK @Channel4 pic.twitter.com/AiEOgqEQ0o — ksi (@KSI) January 28, 2021 KSI had a crack at baking a Cherry Lattice Pie, which was the challenge for that particular episode. But after making a mess of it, he admitted it was a “bad decision” and got roasted. Matt Lucas, the show’s co-presenter, said, “Are you going to serve it like that? Taxi for JJ” after watching him spill jam everywhere. Then, after placing his pie on fellow competitor and Little Mix superstar Jade’s table, she had a dig at him, too. “Goodness me, you’ve put it on mine,” she said. The singing star added a cheeky little barb too: “I am not taking the fall for you. God, it’s almost as bad as your rapping, isn’t it?” Despite how the pie turned out, KSI’s appearance on the show proved to be a massive hit for him and his fans. It shows that he’s willing to rise to any challenge, regardless of whether it’s boxing, making music, or cooking.

KSI gives fans heartfelt message after losing to Tommy Fury DAZN / WassermanYouTube star KSI has given fans a warm and heartfelt message after losing to Tommy Fury by a majority decision. After Tommy Fury gave Jake Paul his first loss earlier this year, KSI has been itching to step into the ring with Fury to prove once and for all he’s the best in the scene. The time for them to go blow-for-blow finally came on October 14, co-headling the biggest influencer boxing event we’ve seen thus far, the Prime Card. Aiming to do what Jake Paul couldn’t and knock Tommy out cold, the bout ultimately went the distance, coming down to the judge’s scorecards, where Fury took the win via a majority decision. KSI responds after Tommy Fury defeat Early on October 15, the night after the firey bout, KSI issued fans a sincere message. The YouTube star showed appreciation for their endless support after the loss, although claimed he believes he should’ve won the fight. “Appreciate all the kind messages from everyone,” he wrote on Twitter/X. “In the ring and watching it back I feel like I should have won. Either way I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to in the end. “This little untalented nerd was able go toe to toe with a professional boxer.” He added: “Use me as the living proof that hard work and self-belief can get you anywhere in this life.” Immediately after the bout, KSI explained after the fight that he felt he won the first three rounds, and taking into consideration Fury’s point deduction in the third, he believes he should’ve won. KSI’s loss to Tommy Fury has also sparked controversy as fans claim the fight was “rigged” and that the YouTube star was “robbed.” Nevertheless, KSI intends to appeal the “outrageous” decision in hopes for it to be overturned.

KSI gave away a $20k pair of Red October Yeezys as he “didn’t know” their worth YouTube: ComplexKSI has revealed that he once gave away a pair of rare Yeezy’s without realizing that the model was worth over $20,000. Yeezy’s are a line of sneakers designed in collaboration between the shoe company Adidas and American rapper Kanye West. Since first launching back in 2015, Yeezy’s have become some of the most desired shoes over the years, with rare models and makes selling for upwards of $10,000. During a YouTube video ‘KSI Goes Sneaker Shopping With Complex,’ the content creator revealed that he accidentally gave away a pair of rare Yeezy’s that are worth roughly $20,000. On Stock X, the shoes currently retail for a minimum of $20,000 USD, with the price going up depending on size. Some sizes asking consumers to pay over $40,000. KSI admits he gave away $20,000 Yeezy’s for free When chatting about sneakers, KSI admitted that he owned a pair of Nike Air Yeezy II Red October’s and that he simply “gave it to charity” without realizing their worth. For those interested, the whole video and walkthrough of the sneaker store and shoes can be viewed here: “Who was I talking to? Either one of my mates… I think it was one of the Sidemen, I was talking to them and I was just like, the Red Octobers, and I saw they were going crazy over it. Being like, oh it’s worth $20k or something like that. I was just there like, what?” After laughing off his admission, KSI then added that he “didn’t know, didn’t realize. I was just like I need to clear some space in my house.” After KSI and the host of the show once again laughed at the complete error from KSI, he then once again poked fun at his own mistake. “Standard. Look some homeless man is gassed. I don’t think I’ve ever said that publicly until now so yep.” For all the latest entertainment news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto’s full coverage here.

KSI gets roasted by YouTube rapper in savage diss track Quadeca, YouTube / KSI, YouTubePopular YouTuber and white-collar boxer Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji has gotten into a dispute with YouTube rapper ‘Quadeca,’ who has since taken savage shots at KSI in a scathing diss track. Quadeca uploaded the four-minute-long track in a video on November 23, titled “Insecure.” The video has already secured over one million views, and features a slew of scorching insults against KSI – even insinuating that his fellow Sidemen are fake friends. “JJ, I’m so sorry you’re angry/ Hairline so fucked up, your barber is Tay Keith,” was just one savage bar from the rap. “Got so big and made so many stacks/ That your friends are terrified to let you know that you’re wack,” Quadeca continued. “Now your homies are your yes-men, ego’s over the max/ Call Shane Dawson! I think this guy’s a sociopath!” Their most recent dispute began when KSI called out Quadeca during an episode of the “What’s Good?” podcast on November 19, where he took issue with multiple YouTube rappers. “Of course he’s watching this!” KSI said when asked about the Quadeca. “Bro, me saying his name is boosting him… I don’t give a fuck, man, it’s me!” “It’s kind of like, the same way you’re like, ‘I’m better than you,’ …Quadeca is gonna think he’s better than you,” podcast host Miniminter prompted in response. “Yeah, please,” KSI answered with sarcasm. “Please, man.” Since then, Quadeca’s track has garnered relative praise, even getting shouted out by Drama Alert host Daniel ‘KEEMSTAR’ Keem. While KSI has yet to respond, he is no stranger to rapping; the YouTuber has made several diss tracks in his time, most notably against boxing opponent Logan Paul.

KSI & Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao & Salt Papi tag team match reportedly “in the works” Twitter: HappyPunchPromoA tag team match between KSI & Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao & Salt Papi has been teased online — but it’s not certain this fantastical match is actually happening. KSI’s boxing career is headed toward its end, as the influencer has officially claimed he’s retiring after his next three fights. The YouTuber, who sparked the current influencer-boxing trend back in 2018 alongside Logan Paul, hopes to fight on the Misfits x DAZN Series 007 card, take a match with the winner of the upcoming Kingpyn Tournament, and finally settle the score with either Tommy Fury or Jake Paul before the year’s end. Now, it’s looking like his next big match could involve a major name in the boxing game — but it’s unclear if this match made in heaven is legit. KSI & Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao & Salt Papi tag team match teased On March 13, influencer-boxing promo company Happy Punch tweeted a fight poster for a tag-team match between KSI & Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao & Salt Papi. It’s not completely unbelievable that Floyd Mayweather might team up with KSI for a boxing event, as he notably faced off with Logan Paul back in 2021 and took a bout with KSI’s little bro, Deji, the year after. However, this possible match doesn’t seem to completely line up with KSI’s plans for the year. Although KSI hasn’t said who he’s taking on for Misfits Series 007 in May, it’s highly speculated that he’s fighting a “pro boxer,” which many believe could be Joe Fournier. As for Floyd, he’s scheduled for five exhibition matches in five countries for 2023, and it’s similarly unknown who he’s facing for these bouts at the time of writing. However, out of the five countries Mayweather has listed, the United Kingdom is not one of them… which is likely the battlefield for Misfits 007 this Summer. KSI’s manager responds to Floyd Mayweather tag team rumors These claims are looking a little more likely after a recent comment from KSI’s manager, Mams Taylor, who said he’s “been working” on this particular matchup in response to a fan. For now, it’s looking like this tag-team bout is mere hearsay — but we’ll keep you updated right here on Dexerto if this jaw-dropping event actually comes to fruition.

KSI & Fundy criticized for ‘offensive’ jokes on Quackity’s Jackbox stream Youtube: KSI/ Twitch: FundyJJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji and the Minecraft YouTuber Fundy have been criticized for making inappropriate jokes on streamer Quackity’s Jackbox Twitch stream. Jackbox is a party game with a variety of minigames. One of the games, Quiplash, involves finishing sentence starters in the funniest way possible, with viewers able to tune in and vote for the answers they believe to be funniest. It has become a favorite among Twitch streamers who want a party game that is interactive with large audiences. However, some viewers were not happy with how Quackity’s February 19 stream panned out, as both KSI and Fundy were heavily criticized for making jokes about sexual misconduct. https://twitter.com/KittyPeekMCYT/status/1362992153148891140 One of the sentence fillers came after the topic: “What you never want to hear after the words: ‘Don’t worry…’”, which Fundy completed with, “the drugs will make her forget.” In a game of Mad Verse City, which pits players against each other in a rap battle, one set of lyrics entered by Fundy said: “I’m slaying these verses you don’t need a litter. Want a lasting relationship? Make sure not to hit her.” Meanwhile, KSI was called out for making a joke about children. One joke said: “This year’s LEAST popular kids’ toy is: ‘The Child M*lestor’.” In a now-viral Twitter thread, the joke was slammed as “not funny at all.” One fan urged Fundy to admit to wrongdoing. She said: “He has done this type of joke MORE THAN TWICE and he still hasn’t addressed [them]… He needs to get educated on this matter and to apologize.” In response to the criticism, KSI came out in support of Fundy in a message sent to the Minecraft streamer on Twitter. He said: “Here for you if you need it bro.” KSI had previously jokingly pleaded on stream for people not to ‘cancel’ him and Fundy. “I’ve seen the tweets, it hurts my feelings,” he laughed. However, others have defended KSI and Fundy, with one fan urging critics to “calm” themselves. KSI has spoken about ‘cancel culture’ before, having once claimed he can never be canceled because his name cannot trend on Twitter. Fundy is yet to publicly comment on the situation.

KSI fires back at Trippie Redd amid Jake Paul controversy Instagram: KSI / Instagram: trippiereddBoth Trippie Redd and KSI have been trading blows for quite some time despite collaborating on a hit single together earlier in the year. Now tensions have boiled over once again as the two have lashed out at each other on social media. The mega-popular British YouTuber and prominent American rapper Trippie Redd first worked together on a 2020 single for KSI’s album Dissimilation. ‘Wake Up Call’ has since gone on to reach over 30 million plays on Spotify and nearly 15 million views on YouTube. Despite the successful collaboration, the duo has been at arms for a few months now. Redd was seen training alongside Jake Paul in a May appearance, sparking backlash from KSI. This appearance came soon after KSI won his boxing rematch against Jake’s brother Logan in a sold-out Staples Centre. While the two weren’t on the best of terms following this, tensions have once again boiled over. A series of Instagram Stories on August 24 set them on a back and forth argument through social media. “Sometimes you’ve just got to kill people with kindness,” Trippie Redd said at the start of his IG story. The famous rapper was proudly showing off his newly-built studio space, a space that he claims KSI paid for thanks to their collaboration earlier in the year. “Thank you KSI, you’re paying for my studio. I appreciate you.” “I’m glad I was able to pay for your studio,” KSI soon responded with an equally bitter tone. “Consider it a gift considering all you had to do was sing.” He didn’t quite stop there, however, as KSI went on to explain why Trippie Redd should be grateful. Wake Up Call stands out as his “only top 20” track in the UK charts. “When you come back to the UK to perform, just remember that,” he said. “You f**ked with my business when you did that video with Jake Paul… that’s why I don’t f**k with you.” The appearance on May 29 rapidly spread across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube as KSI’s feature for the latest hit single was seen hitting pads with one of his YouTube rivals. “When you get into this sh*t, realize it’s just business,” Trippie Redd fired back. “I’m not your friend, I don’t know you.” It’s clear that the two aren’t on the best of terms in spite of their mutual success. While Trippie Redd has seemingly made enough of a profit from the song to fund his new studio, it doesn’t look like he’ll be featuring in any KSI tracks in the future.

KSI floored after reading “rumors” of his own death online JJ Olatunji, YouTubeYouTube star KSI has jumped on the “Google Myself” bandwagon, once again — but the results of his latest queries turned up some seriously unusual popular searches. KSI is one of Britain’s top internet personalities, having made the jump from YouTube comedian to professional boxer and even music star, with his songs boasting multiple features from other top artists in the rap game. Considering his illustrious career, it comes as little surprise that the online entertainer is a frequented topic on Google — but some of the search queries related to the YouTuber were nothing less than shocking. KSI began his Google adventure in a video on June 9, typing the phrase, “Is KSI” into the search bar. Surprisingly, the term, “Is KSI dead” popped up as the very first result, which the star could hardly believe was circulating the net. “‘Is KSI dead?’” the star read aloud, incredulous. “Are people really searching that? Wait, what happens if you click it?” Unfortunately for KSI, the top result took him to a clickbait video, which promptly mocked the viewer for falling for their “trap” — and that wasn’t the only meme to come out of the situation, with the YouTuber also clicking on a humorous photo of a fan posing with a bandana on the ground. That wasn’t the last time KSI’s apparent “death” would come up in his Google video, either, with another query stating, “KSI is dying from cancer.” “You guys are wild!” the star laughed. “Why are you searching this?” (Topic begins at 1:04) KSI isn’t the only YouTuber to have reacted to rumors of their death circling online, by far; makeup mogul James Charles was similarly floored after Googling himself in a December 2019 video, shocked that searches of himself being dead or even “shot” were coming up in popular queries related to his name. Thankfully, both he and KSI are alive and well, contrary to the rumors and memes — and while both celebs took the odd results in good humor, their videos just go to show how zany the internet can actually be.

KSI finally returns to YouTube to break silence on Tommy Fury fight KSIKSI has finally uploaded on YouTube again to break the silence on his fight against Tommy Fury, where he was handed his first loss. Following Jake Paul’s loss to the hands of Tommy Fury earlier in 2023, KSI wanted to prove once and for all that he’s the best influencer boxer. After months of waiting, the British YouTuber finally touched gloves with Fury on October 14, going blow-for-blow with the Love Island on the highly-anticipated Prime Card — the biggest influencer boxing event we’ve seen to date. After six grueling rounds, it was ultimately Fury who took home the win with a majority decision before it was soon corrected to a unanimous decision. However, immediately there was a ton of backlash, as many claimed KSI was “robbed” of the win. The YouTuber and his team quickly fired back at the “outrageous” decision, sending an appeal to the PBA — the governing body that sanctioned the bout. DAZN’s CEO even backed the appeal and demanded a rematch, agreeing KSI was “robbed.” KSI returns to YouTube after Tommy Fury fight appeal denied On December 1 the PBA ruled there were “no grounds to overturn” the result. As promised, KSI has returned to YouTube with an upload on December 3 titled ‘So… I lost?” — during which he finally broke his silence on the result of the fight. “It’s been a while, but there have been several reasons why. First of all, quite frankly I just didn’t feel like making a video,” he admitted. “Especially after the result of the Tommy Fury fight. I had trained so hard these past few months, working overtime to do what most people saw was impossible, and that was to beat Tommy Fury.” He added: “I felt like I had won the fight, so to have the judges completely take that moment away from me… it sucked. As soon as I got back home, I was angry, disappointed, and eventually, I just broke down and started crying. “It wasn’t fair. Life isn’t fair. I looked back at the fight and tried to find any highlight, any showing of Tommy Fury beating me in that fight, and there is just hardly any.” The YouTuber went on to make note of how so many people thought he deserved the win, including Eddie Hearn, Israel Adesanya, and millions more. Not only that but he explained how Jake Paul even thought KSI would be crowned the winner before the announcement was made. While KSI has lost the first part of his appeal, there’s still a chance for it to be overturned as his team continues to push to change “the wrong decision.”

KSI fires back at haters claiming the Sidemen have “fell off” SidemenYouTube star KSI has hit back at haters claiming the Sidemen have ‘fallen off’ with their content and popularity. From hosting charity football matches in sold-out stadiums, to being banned from attending their own restaurant opening due to a massive turnout from fans, it’s fair to say the Sidemen has a tremendous 2023. For years, they’ve been one of the largest and most popular groups on YouTube, with a staggering 20 million subscribers on their collective channel, and millions more individually. But, critics have expressed they believe the group is on the decline. However, KSI has fired back at the “haters” — boasting the stats from their recent videos. KSI hits back at claims the Sidemen have ‘fallen off’ In a post on Twitter/X on January 14, KSI responded to claims that the Sidemen have ‘fallen off’, showing that their latest YouTube video featuring streaming stars AngryGinge and Danny Aarons is performing better than their last 10 uploads so far. “And to think people said the Sidemen fell off loool,” he wrote. “Back-to-back bangers.” “Haters keep crying,” he added, along with several ‘shush’ emojis. It isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Prime co-founder aim at critics this year. On January 8, he fired more shots, saying the haters were “crying” after fellow Sidemen member Zerkaa showed off the stats on their massive Hide & Seek video. Similarly, the upload was 1/10 on their YouTube’s stats dashboard, and was an obvious hit with fans, amassing a staggering 3.7 million views in just over 17 hours. Nevertheless, the Sidemen are as big as they’ve ever been. Over the Christmas period, the brand reportedly sold over 45k bottles of their XIX Vodka according to their manager Jordan Schwarzenberger in a now-deleted post.

KSI fighting FaZe Temperrr after Dillon Danis pulls out of boxing match Twitter: KSIYouTube star KSI is now taking on FaZe Temperrr after his former opponent, mixed martial artist Dillon Danis, suddenly pulled out of their match a week out from fight night. KSI and Dillon Danis were set to kick off 2023 with a bang, with theirs being the first influencer-boxing match scheduled for the year. This would mark the YouTuber’s third fight since his comeback, having been out of the ring following his rematch with Logan Paul back in 2019. Unfortunately, despite months of trash talk between the two fighters and hype building up in the days before their match, Danis suddenly pulled out of the fight with just over a week to spare from their January 14 event. Just a few hours later, though, it looks as though KSI has already found a replacement — and it’s a huge name in the content creation game. KSI to box FaZe Temperrr after Dillon Danis exits match KSI shortly announced that he’s now taking on FaZe Temperrr as his next opponent. Temperrr is a co-founder of FaZe Clan, an esports and entertainment organization that’s home to a slew of high-profile influencers like Adapt, Banks, and others. Temperrr is also no stranger to boxing, either; he’s been in quite a few matches himself, and currently boasts a 2-1 record. Most notably, Temperrr won an appeal with the boxing commission earlier in 2022 after his bout against King Kenny didn’t seem to go his way, despite dominating their match. He later fought against YouTuber Slim Albaher in August, which he lost by knockout on the undercard of KSI’s ‘Two Fights, One Night’ event against Luis Pineda and Swarmz. Now, it looks like Temperrr will have a chance to reclaim his honor — and against the very man on whose card he previously lost, no less.

KSI finally confirms boxing return date after two-year hiatus YouTube: KSIBritish YouTube star KSI is finally coming back to the boxing ring this summer — over two years since his infamous last fight against former rival Logan Paul. KSI is one of the few personalities credited with kick-starting the current ‘influencer boxing’ craze. After defeating fellow YouTuber Joe Weller in 2018, he later took on American internet star Logan Paul in two high-stakes bouts that ultimately saw the Brit emerge victorious. However, it would be a long time before KSI would return to the ring; the global health crisis and his budding music career took priority over the YouTuber’s combat sports career. View this post on Instagram KSI reveals date for next boxing match Over two years later, KSI has officially revealed when his next fight will be — and it’s coming up fast. On May 4, 2022, KSI uploaded a teaser trailer to Twitter, which revealed a fight date of August 27, 2022. https://twitter.com/KSI/status/1521852201236418561?s=20&t=p66xz7Q6AWkx9IAHXYoWKg Unfortunately, no opponent has been announced at the time of writing — something KSI has made mention of in the past in a YouTube video, claiming that he knew when he was fighting, but not whom. This latest news follows previous rumors pointing to an August bout, with some claiming that KSI would face off against YouTuber Alex Wassabi (a fitting opponent, as Wassabi was responsible for beating KSI’s little brother, Deji, earlier this year). This isn’t the only influencer boxing bout taking place in August, either; Jake Paul is also slated to take on an as-yet-unnamed opponent in that same month on August 13. For now, things are still unclear as a slew of influencers are set to step foot on the canvas this summer — in just one week, the Creator Clash boxing event will see 22 internet stars face off in a charity boxing match. Combine this with an upcoming reality TV show centered around influencer boxing, and it looks like the trend couldn’t possibly get any bigger. We’ll just have to see how these upcoming fights impact this continuing internet craze.

KSI fight announcement sparks more interest from fans than Jake Paul’s Tommy Fury bout Two titans of content creation – KSI and Jake Paul – are slated to step into different rings this coming August, and Olatunji’s fight is seemingly drawing more interest. On June 23, Jake Paul announced his upcoming pay-per-view event against professional boxer Tommy Fury. However, in the days following the announcement, Paul has called out Fury numerous times on Twitter for being MIA. Fellow YouTube star and amateur boxer KSI also announced his upcoming boxing event against 1-0 rookie Alex Wassabi. He defeated KSI’s brother Deji in a main event fight earlier this year. Fans are excited to see their favorite creators back in the ring this August, but if we’re going by interactions, KSI’s fight has definitely sparked more interest. I can’t wait to repeatedly punch the man I’ve had beef with for years, the man I’ve laughed at for years, the man that beat my brother, the man that has signed his death wish as soon as we enter the ring. I’m a different animal & you will realise that fact on August 27th. pic.twitter.com/O0lwQIHExG — ksi (@KSI) July 1, 2022 KSI announcement gains massive response KSI revealed his opponent on July 1, seven days after Paul,’s announcement, and the tweet announcing his opponent had amassed over 100k likes in just five hours. Including the tweets from Jake Paul, Most Valuable Promotions, SHOWTIME Boxing, and Madison Square Garden; the Paul vs Fury fight announcement only garnered ~20k likes. This is days after Paul has repeatedly claimed Tommy Fury is “trying to get out of this fight.” He has also stated that Fury’s team has attempted to get Jake Paul to fight in the UK. KSI has mocked the current state of Paul’s fight on Twitter and has invited him to fight Fury as the co-main event on his own card. Jake didn’t outright decline KSI’s offer but instead clapped back with words of his own. I play chess, u play checkers. Ur opponent is repped by me & I know a lot more about ur biz than u would like. Ur not on my level in boxing or the boxing biz. Out of respect for my client, I’ll let u keep chirping away like a canary. You & Fury r both big mouths, w/ small sacks. https://t.co/9GGbRbHjec — Jake Paul (@jakepaul) June 29, 2022 Paul even pointed out that Alex Wassabi is repped by Most Valuable Promotions, Jake’s own team. However, many fans in the replies to KSI’s announcement are already claiming Wassabi won’t stand a chance. Pending Fury’s arrival in the US, August is going to be a month full of fights. And after these events, maybe we’ll get to see Jake Paul and KSI step into the same ring to settle their differences.

KSI fight joins Anthony Joshua and Canelo as one of DAZN’s most viewed events ever YouTube: DAZN BoxingKSI made a huge statement with his return to the boxing ring on August 27, beating both Swarmz and Luis Pined, and seeing the bout jump into DAZN’s top five most-watched events in history. With a jam-packed sold-out O2 Arena, KSI finally returned to the ring after almost 3 years since his last fight against former rival Logan Paul. Originally set to face Alex Wassabi, who pulled out of the fight due to a concussion injury, the British YouTube star instead touched gloves with not only one, but two opponents on the same night. Kicking off the card, KSI stepped in the ring with London-born rapper Swarmz for the first fight of the night. ‘The Nightmare’ made quick work of Swarmz, who had no real prior boxing experience, resulting in a KO for the YouTuber in the second round. Later the same night, KSI then went back at it again – this time touching gloves with professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda. Expectations were high, as fans were hopeful this would be test KSI as a boxer. However, once again the YouTuber showed how easy it was for him. After repeatedly landing heavy hitting body shots throughout the fight, KSI eventually won by KO in round three. KSI vs Swarmz & Pineda top five most-watched on DAZN Now, it has come to light that the event was one of the biggest that DAZN have ever done in boxing according to their EVP Joe Markowski. As reported by the DailyMail, KSI’s card was among DAZN’s top-five most watched boxing events — falling just behind Dmitry Bivol’s vs Canelo Alvarez and Anthony Joshua’s rematch with Oleksandr Usyk. “By any metric you want to use, that was one of the biggest events DAZN have ever done in boxing,” Markowski told Sportsmail. “I’m personally very happy to be back in that space, because KSI vs Logan Paul II, November 2019 on DAZN, that sort of gave birth to celebrity boxing at that scale,” the DAZN EVP explained. “Covid happened and we stepped away, with good reason, but it’s now back, and it’s back in a big way.” The August 27 event was watched more than Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano — one of the biggest nights ever for women’s boxing. It also outperformed the highly anticipated Derek Chisora vs Kubrat Pulev 2. The British YouTube star is expected to be stepping back in the ring early next year, and Prime Hydration business partner and former rival Logan Paul is expected to be one of the many names featuring on the fight card.

KSI, FaZe Sway & Deji stunned by Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather fight Instagram: Floyd Mayweather/Instagram: Logan PaulKSI, FaZe Sway, and more have been blown away by the announcement that YouTube star Logan Paul and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather have an official date for their upcoming fight. It will be one of the biggest showdowns in YouTube boxing history. Fans and fellow influencers alike are massively excited about the news. Some are already making bets on who they think will win, and others are in shock that this fight will be going down at all. Logan Paul has only ever fought fellow YouTuber KSI twice, losing the first fight and drawing in the second, whereas Floyd Mayweather has been a professional boxer since 1996, and has a record of 50 wins. The fight itself has been long-speculated, especially after a history of trash-talking between them; in late November, Paul bragged that he could take out Mayweather in a street fight, prompting a long line of insults thrown back and forth. Here are some of the best reactions to the announcement. KSI shows his support Logan Paul faced off with fellow YouTuber KSI twice but now intends to take on the legendary undefeated professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather. KSI could only congratulate Logan on his ambitions. Deji threw shade Meanwhile, KSI’s brother and YouTuber Deji threw shade at Logan for being able to fight such a big name after losing to KSI and then only achieving a draw. So I need to just need to draw and lose a fight to fight Floyd Mayweather? Okay. — Deji (@Deji) December 7, 2020 YouTuber Jarvis Johnson chimed in by ridiculing the fight with his own claim that he would be fighting Colonel Sanders ‘to the death.’ for the undercard for logan paul & floyd mayweather, i will be fighting colonel sanders to the death — jarvis johnson (@jarvis) December 7, 2020 Others assumed Logan will lose YouTuber Josh OG couldn’t believe the news, tweeting his surprise and throwing his support behind the professional boxer rather than his fellow creator.

KSI feud with Joe Weller ignites rematch speculation YouTube: JJ Olatunji | Joe WellerKSI got into a back-and-forth on Twitter with his first-ever boxing opponent Joe Weller by bringing up a poll from 2017. Influencer boxing is proving to be a staggering success, with more and more events popping up as the years pass by. This new form of entertainment is so successful that KSI and Logan Paul have reportedly earned more money than legends of UFC like Francis Ngannou. The earliest example of this phenomenon is the KSI vs Joe Weller event that took place in 2018, planting the idea of YouTuber boxing in the heads of many of the internet’s top creators. Joe Weller ultimately lost to KSI and never fought again, but the two had a back-and-forth on Twitter recently. KSI posted a 2017 Twitter poll which showed 65% of voters believed Weller will win the aforementioned fight, with KSI captioning it “once upon a time.” Joe Weller argues with KSI over Twitter Joe Weller replied to KSI’s tweet the same day saying “How am I still so rent free in your head son.” The two ex-rivals exchanged a couple of slightly aggressive tweets, sparking a heated debate in the replies in the process. The mention of Joe Weller must have resonated with KSI’s community, as the Tweet was viewed almost 8 million times at the time of writing. Many took this as a sign of an upcoming rematch, as the replies are filled with comments like: “This fight needs to happen again for the culture,” or as another user plainly asks “Rematch?” Joe Weller did not pick up the gauntlet again after that KSI fight in 2018, but a video on his channel called “My 8-Month Transformation” shows he’s still in excellent physical condition.

KSI fans name him “best boxer in the world” after Logan Paul vs Mayweather result Twitter: KSI/YouTube: ShowTime SportsYouTube star JJ ‘KSI’ Olatunji questioned if he’s now the best boxer in the world after Logan Paul managed to go the distance and score a draw against Floyd Mayweather, and fans are backing him. After weeks of back and forth, Logan Paul and Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather finally squared off on June 6, going the distance and coming out with a draw. While Floyd landed some nice shots on the social media sensation, he didn’t fulfill his promise of winning by knockout, nor did Logan score the upset that would have rocked the boxing world. Plenty has been said already about the fight, with other influencers eyeing up fights now. As for KSI, he said he wasn’t going to watch, but the result quickly caught his attention anyway. After the fight finished, KSI took to Twitter and asked his fans to fill him in on the result. “Just woke up, what I miss?” he posted. As many fans quickly pointed out, the British YouTuber managed to do what Floyd couldn’t, as he not only beat Logan in their fight, but also managed to score a knockdown. So, some took that to mean he might be better than the 50-0 boxing icon. https://twitter.com/commiecutie1/status/1401746473960677376 Logan still doesn’t know how to fight. You did better than floyd 😂 — Arsh (@lucifer69420007) June 7, 2021 “So…You’re saying I’m now the best boxer in the world?” KSI said after all the jokes and updates about the fight flooded his mentions, but he left it there and didn’t call out Floyd as some may have wanted him to do. Even his brother Deji got in on the fun and declared KSI the best in the world. It’s the same, twisted and joking argument that gets tossed around from sport to sport – where someone becomes a lineal winner because they managed to score a result where someone else couldn’t. Just like Logan, KSI would probably struggle to beat Floyd, but he may give a better account of himself. Either way, if he steps into the ring again, he’s likely to fight Bryce Hall seeing as they’ve been trading blows on social media.

KSI fans rally against him in surprise subscriber race with Mr Bean Instagram: ksi / Wikimedia Commons: Gerhard Heeke[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]Fans of YouTuber Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji are hilariously rallying against him as he embarks on a surprise subscriber race with none other than iconic British comedy character Mr Bean. KSI is one of the most popular YouTubers not only in the UK but worldwide. He has accrued over 21 million subscribers on the platform and used his brand to become a professional boxer and a recording artist, setting his sights far beyond the confines of YouTube. While he has established himself as a top creator, he would have expected his main competition to come from fellow YouTubers such as Logan Paul and David Dobrik, but apparently, that’s not the case. As became clear thanks to a post on KSI’s subreddit on July 2, he appears to be locked in a tight subscriber race with Mr Bean, a selectively mute character portrayed by British comedy icon Rowan Atkinson. The original post questions how Olatunji, commonly referred to as JJ, can call himself the biggest UK YouTuber when he has less subscribers than the official Mr Bean YouTube account – which, really, isn’t a completely unfair point. When the post was first published, KSI sat at 21.5 million subs, while Mr Bean had 21.6 – and then something strange happened. Rather than rally behind their hero, JJ’s fans instead pushed for their peers to subscribe to Mr Bean, saying that they “can’t allow JJ to overtake this icon” and that he was “part of our childhood.” https://twitter.com/TOMSHARMANWEB/status/1278612951373660160 In the short time since this was brought to everyone’s attention, each of them have reached the next 100k iteration, with Mr Bean maintaining his lead over KSI. The question is, how does KSI respond? What does he do to get the better of Mr Bean? Only time will tell, but this could have a profound impact on JJ’s status as the UK’s biggest YouTuber. Neither KSI nor Bean have yet commented on the ongoing battle.

KSI eyes YouTube boxing return with possible bout in late 2022 YouTube: IMPAULSIVEKSI’s boxing trainer claims the YouTube star is looking to return to the ring sometime later this year or in early 2023. It’s been well over two years since KSI last stepped into the boxing ring against former rival Logan Paul to settle their infamous internet feud. Having won their November 2019 rematch, KSI has since been laser-focused on his musical career — much to the chagrin of Jake Paul, who has made no bones about wanting to throw down with the UK YouTube superstar. Unfortunately, it looks like KSI has been a bit too busy to entertain the very idea of a boxing match, saying his current ventures are taking up all his time (see his surprise collab with Logan Paul on their PRIME Hydration drink). However, it’s looking like fans might see the UK powerhouse return to the boxing ring sometime in the near future… at least, according to his trainer. KSI’s trainer claims boxing comeback is on the horizon KSI’s boxing trainer, Leon Willis, stated in an interview with GiveMeSport that the YouTuber is looking to make a comeback either late in 2022 or early in 2023. That being said, he’s not certain the influencer-turned-rapper will be able to give his all if he’s not putting his full focus on boxing, citing his multiple obligations toward his music career and recent business ventures. “JJ’s told me that he’s looking to fight either later this year, or early next year,” Willis said. “That’s what he said. But it’s just time. He’s a top boy in everything he does. In music, he’s a top artist. In YouTube, he’s a top YouTuber. Now, he’s got a drink company with Logan.” “It’s hard to find the time,” he continued. “So, if he can put all that to the side and train in boxing, and focus on boxing, then 100%.” Although there’s no word on the potential opponent for this possible comeback, many eyes are turning toward Jake Paul, who recently lashed out at KSI by claiming that Logan was “carrying” their joint PRIME Hydration endeavor. For now, fans will just have to wait and see what comes of this latest news as KSI currently tours across the UK.

KSI fans concerned by deleted ‘single and alone’ Instagram post Twitter: KSIFans of KSI are banding together to show their concern for the YouTube star after he posted and deleted a cryptic Instagram story post. With a career that is constantly in the spotlight, whether that is from his YouTube content or dropping new songs, KSI’s social media presence is always monitored by fans. While the creator may use his platforms to take playful jabs at rivals like Jake Paul or to showcase hilarious collaborations, it can also be a place of self-reflection and some well-needed venting. However, some posts spark more interest than others for fans, especially when it’s something pretty cryptic. Did KSI and his girlfriend break up? Following a now-deleted Instagram post, where the creator stated he felt “Single and alone,” KSI fans have offered support across different social media platforms, with many summarizing it’s a reference to his love life. Previously, KSI went on Logan Paul’s ImPaulsive podcast, stating that he had found “the one” but kept many details private – which he said is a “huge factor” in maintaining the longevity of a relationship. So, while fans don’t even know the identity of his girlfriend, many felt “sad” if they had actually split. Other users theorized that the now-deleted post is a part of an upcoming YouTube video. “Callux made a video where he let JJ and Simon control his Twitter. So what if its the other way around now?? I sure hope so…” said one. “I assume and hope this is some sort of troll,” added another. The YouTuber has yet to reappear on social media since deleting the post, so he is yet to comment on it’s meaning. Either way, fans are rallying behind him.

KSI eyes up Kick after hinting at streaming return YouTube star KSI is looking to get back into streaming and is eyeing up his return on platforms such as Twitch and Kick. KSI is by far the biggest UK influencer, with a combined staggering 40 million subscribers on YouTube across his channels — without even including the Sidemen. While his rise to stardom came from gaming content, notably known for playing FIFA and Grand Theft Auto 5, the YouTube star has taken a different direction over the last couple of years. The 30-year-old began putting focus on his passions, establishing himself as an artist with several album releases before making a name for himself in the world of boxing and making PPV history. KSI hints at return to live streaming after years In a series of tweets on January 17, KSI revealed intentions to begin live streaming again. The last time the YouTube star went live was close to a decade ago, with his last Twitch broadcast in October 2014. “I think I might start streaming again…” he wrote. Then, in another post, the Prime co-founder asked his fans for recommendations on where he should stream, naming platforms such as Kick, Twitch, and, of course, YouTube. “Where should I stream? YouTube? Kick? Twitch? Anything else?” In the replies, the overwhelming majority of fans suggested that Kick is the right option. “Kick is the only right move,” said one. “Kick is the only answer,” wrote another. On the other hand, some proposed that he multi-streams across several platforms. “You should multi stream,” a fan suggested, while others claimed it would be better if he streamed solely on YouTube. Twitch’s CEO has claimed the platform is done giving massive contracts to creators. Although we could see KSI land a deal with Kick. Nevertheless, it’s unclear which platform we’ll see the YouTuber land on. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see whether or not he sticks to his idea and hits the go-live button.

KSI explodes into rage while playing puzzle game Getting Over It Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji is back creating gaming content for his YouTube channel and he allowed his emotions to get the better of him in this hilarious video. The popular YouTuber, who has over 5.6 million subscribers on the platform at the time of writing, recorded himself playing ‘Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy’ on his PC and seemed to be getting the hang of it – but, that didn’t last very long. If unfamiliar, Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy was released in October 2017 and has been the center piece of rage compilations on YouTube ever since. The main character in the game is called Diogenes and most of his body is stuck inside a cauldron, so he relies on a Yosemite hammer to pull himself around. Using this silent character, KSI tried his best to surpass the many obstacles in his way, but the further he progressed, the more Bennett Foddy starts to talk in the background to distract him. It finally reached the point where the voice was starting to irritate him so much, he bursts into furious rage in this hilarious video. “Why is it every time that I do sick, he’s like ‘ah yeah, I’ve got to let you know about some dumb shit nobody cares about. I don’t care! Let me just play the game” he says. But, Foddy continues to ramble in the background about how the player is constantly in danger of falling. Once KSI starts the fall, he loses his confidence and ends up right back to the beginning. “I can’t be fucking bothered with this game, it’s trash. Trash! Trash!” KSI concludes. “I can’t play this game if my man is going to be talking every time I fail. If I succeed he talks, if I fail he talks. Bro, shut up man!”

KSI exposes confusing DMs from Logan Paul prior to boxing rematch YouTube stars KSI and Logan Paul finally settled their long-standing grudge in the boxing ring on November 9. However, that isn’t stopping KSI from exposing some of the hilarious moments that went down beforehand. In an October episode of his imPaulsive podcast, Logan Paul revealed a few messages he’d sent to his rival via Instagram, which included a few light-hearted voice memos referencing a “cake.” However, KSI never responded, leading Paul to feel like a “side hoe” who’d been left on read in spite of his efforts to get a reaction out of his opponent. (Timestamp: 17:20 for mobile readers) Unfortunately for Paul, KSI has finally reacted to these DMs — a full month after their bout, making “The Maverick’s” attempt at taunting his rival null and void. In fact, KSI revealed even more DMs that Paul had sent than the ones he showed on his podcast, which included some more direct hints at his proposed victory. “Hey bro, I admire your confidence,” one message said. “I’m hella impressed. I just was wondering if you had picked someone out to catch your head after I decapitate you in the first round.” Needless to say, Paul’s joking threat sent KSI into a fit of laughter, who noted that, considering his loss by split-decision, rendered the message less of a taunt and more of a joke. “These are so much more funny now!” KSI roared. “‘First round decapitation. Hit me with a few shots.’ Bro, you ain’t — you didn’t do sh**!” (Timestamp: 13:25 for mobile viewers) That’s not all: Paul had even sent KSI a drawing of himself standing over his opponent in the ring, captioned, “Visualize it.” The image is an artistic impression of the boxers by isidros_artwork. “He kept showing this to me,” KSI said of the picture. “On his phone, when we were talking to the commission a day before the fight. When the commission was talking to both of us, he just kept showing me this. He wasn’t even listening to what the commission were saying.” KSI’s humorous exposure of Logan’s Instagram messages follows the denial of the Maverick’s appeal to the commission, who struck down his efforts to reverse a two-point penalty he’d received in the fourth round. Now, KSI reigns as the undisputed champ of their bout — and he’s not afraid of rubbing it in, considering his reactions to Paul’s DMs.

KSI Explains Why The Boxing Match vs Logan Paul Will be Pay-Per-View on YouTube YouTuber KSI has addressed the decision to make his fight against Logan Paul a pay-per-view event, after fans were unhappy with the move. KSI posted the official link to the boxing match stream, which will go down on August 25, but the link required payment of $8 (£6) to access, sparking controversy. It was unexpected as the first YouTube boxing match, which KSI also participated in vs Joe Weller, was free to watch on the website and attracted millions of live viewers. In an attempt to justify the decision, KSI has taken to Twitter to explain to fans that the costs of running the event are much higher than last time, and that it “all adds up”. He also claims that the pay-per-view fee is considerably lower than most other events, and will all contribute the ensuring the event is the best possible experience and there is no “cutting corners”. Just wanted to address those asking why we’re charging to see the fight. The cost of the event itself is on another level to last time. Plus the press conferences, weigh-in and making other content for the new channel, all adds up. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) July 19, 2018 We want to make this as big an experience as possible for everyone watching, without cutting corners. We’re keeping the pay per view price purposely low compared to other events and looking to give as good value as we can. — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) July 19, 2018 Finally he confirmed that it is not just the main event that is pay-per-view, as his brother Deji’s fight vs Jake Paul, plus “other ppv fights” will be included in the $8 fee. Additionally, there is ‘build-up’ content which he says will be free to watch, however it is unclear what exactly this content will entail. I’m sure you guys are gonna love watching me slap up Logan, my bro slap up Jake and the other ppv fights. Everything else in the build up is free to view too. Hope this makes things clearer (people will probably still be angry but hey ) — KSI (@KSIOlajidebt) July 19, 2018 Tickets to attend the fight in Manchester in person are also on sale, and while there are some very affordable prices, the VIP tickets will set you back over £500 ($650), but includes behind the scenes access. The other concern, which KSI has not addressed, is the likelihood of unofficial streams of the fight being hosted on other streaming platforms. Those unwilling to pay the PPV fee may choose to watch these instead, in turn hurting the overall viewership on main streams.

KSI explains why Prime is better than “terrible” YouTuber products Screenshot via BBC/PrimeYouTube star KSI has explained why Prime is better and has had more success than the typical “terrible” products that YouTubers have put out. When Logan Paul and KSI launched their Prime Hydration drinks back in January 2022, not even they could have foreseen the success that the brand has had. The YouTube duo have released five flavors of the Hydration brand, and have also launched an Energy Drink side of things that comes in cans. Both are widely available in the United States, it’s been tougher sledding for those fans in the UK. Resellers have been selling the drinks for way above their standard retail prices, which has prompted KSI to speak out about it. Though, the hype is what made it such a big success – at least in his eyes. KSI explains why Prime has been such a success The multi-talented influencer appeared on The One Show on January 26 to talk about his new documentary, as well as the success of Prime. “TikTok went crazy over it. It was all over YouTube and Instagram, people were just making videos about it all the time and people were just enjoying the drink. They were tasting it and being like ‘This is actually good,’” he said. “I think when it comes to YouTubers putting out products it’s normally terrible or not very good, so I think that’s why this has actually had quite a lot of life into it.” KSI noted that they’ve attempted to “increase the supply as much as possible” in the UK, but it’s still not enough to satisfy the demand of fans. The hype around the drinks hasn’t died down at all, but when the new energy cans roll out in the UK in April, fans might find it easier to get the hydration bottles.
