KSI called out for \u2018ungrateful\u2019 response to street mural of himself WMG via KSI YouTubeOne of YouTube\u2019s biggest creators, Olajide \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji, is taking a lot of heat for his \u2018ungrateful\u2019 response to a massive mural of himself made special for one of his fans. The YouTuber was tagged on an incredible portrait, but the face of the Sidemen was more curious about the purpose of the painting rather than the voicing his praise for the craft, and people quickly took notice. \u201cPainted for my daughter at my Ladywell wall,\u201d artist Lionel Stanhope said while featuring a larger-than-life creation in honor of the famous content creator. KSI noticed the painting, and replied in kind: \u201cWhy would your daughter want you to do this?\u201d with laughing emojis. The YouTuber found the gesture a bit humorous, but his reaction hit a soft spot with onlookers who took issue with how he reacted. Why would your daughter want you to do this? \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 https:\/\/t.co\/jIWuNETzHv \u2014 ksi (@KSI) September 5, 2020 \u201cShe\u2019s probably a fan of you dawg,\u201d one person told KSI. \u201cYou gotta start appreciating the things some people do for you in your Reddit videos as well. Trashing a lot of talented people that put effort and time into giving you a piece of their art and you just ignore that to clown them in any way\u2026\u201d More people were memeing the YouTuber for his response, with some people thinking that his reply was a bit disparaging to the artist that actually got the mural up regardless of its purpose. \u201cMate, he spent ages doing that. Show a bit of decency,\u201d another person said, with other accounts also expressing similar sentiments. https:\/\/twitter.com\/fawazshefeek\/status\/1302340077696188416 The 27-year-old YouTuber has been known to make hilarious digs at his own expense, but most people didn\u2019t believe this occasion merited that kind of retort. That said, not everyone was convinced that KSI was bashing on the painting; one user pointed out that he may be making fun of his own image being portrayed in an impressive way rather than the mural itself: \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure he\u2019s calling himself ugly lmao.\u201d He can be like that sometimes. Then he will add a “”im joking”” or “”haha”” or in this case laughing emojis to say “”it’s just a joke””. This is something Deji pointed out but nobody cared because it’s Deji and they were toi busy making fun of him \u2014 shane (@Sahvendra) September 5, 2020 As to why Stanhope\u2019s daughter would want this portrait made, one person said, \u201cBecause you (KSI) are a hero in many of our lives, and without knowing you personally it can get hard to show our respect and how thankful we are.\u201d The star YouTuber has yet to respond to the backlash, but until then, there\u2019s been plenty of people filing in to commend the artist for his efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
