KSI explains why he can never be \u201ccanceled\u201d KSIOlajidebtHD v2, YouTubeOlajide \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji is one of YouTube\u2019s biggest creators, having also made the jump to professional boxing and even topping the charts in the UK\u2019s music industry \u2014 but despite his status as a social media star, he\u2019s confident he\u2019ll never get \u201ccanceled\u201d online. With the rise of social media has likewise come the popularly-dubbed \u201ccancel culture,\u201d where celebrities and internet entertainers will be publicly shamed over their older posts due to allegedly problematic material. While some of these callouts may be justifiable, a large swath of the internet has taken issue with the practice, claiming that users merely want to rage at the expense of others \u2014 but KSI isn\u2019t so sure he\u2019ll ever face such backlash. The YouTuber explained his stance on the matter in a Tweet on February 21, for which he had an odd justification; his name. According to the celeb, his name isn\u2019t recognizable by Twitter as a \u201ctrendable\u201d word since it\u2019s in another language, making it difficult for the site\u2019s algorithm to make him a trending topic that will reach users worldwide. \u201cThe amazing thing about my name \u2018KSI\u2019 is that it can\u2019t trend lol,\u201d he wrote. \u201cSince it\u2019s a word in another language, Twitter doesn\u2019t recognise it as a trendable word. So I can never get cancelled.\u201d The amazing thing about my name \u201cKSI\u201d is that it can\u2019t trend lol. Since it\u2019s a word in another language, Twitter doesn\u2019t recognise it as a trendable word. So I can never get cancelled \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 \u2014 ksi (@KSI) February 21, 2020 Although this caused a slew of fans preemptively asking him to delete the post, KSI has been positively received in comparison to his infamous YouTube rivals, Jake and Logan Paul. In fact, Jake Paul recently went viral across Twitter due to his divisive post about anxiety, which many critics claimed was making the condition seem like the fault of those who suffer from it, due to his line, \u201cAnxiety is created by you.\u201d It seems highly likely that KSI\u2019s own Tweet was made in response to the ongoing drama around Jake\u2019s anxiety post, which he responded to in an episode of Logan Paul\u2019s \u2018imPaulsive\u2019 podcast, claiming, \u201cI don\u2019t know what the f**k I\u2019m doing. I understand that and I get that, but you can\u2019t be f**king perfect.\u201d With a potential boxing match coming up between KSI and Jake Paul, only time will tell if his controversial Tweet will become a potential talking point in their inevitable press conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
