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\u2019s album Dissimilation. \u2018Wake Up Call\u2019 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\u2019s brother Logan in a sold-out Staples Centre. While the two weren\u2019t 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. \u201cSometimes you\u2019ve just got to kill people with kindness,\u201d 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. \u201cThank you KSI, you\u2019re paying for my studio. I appreciate you.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m glad I was able to pay for your studio,\u201d KSI soon responded with an equally bitter tone. \u201cConsider it a gift considering all you had to do was sing.\u201d He didn\u2019t quite stop there, however, as KSI went on to explain why Trippie Redd should be grateful. Wake Up Call stands out as his \u201conly top 20\u201d track in the UK charts. \u201cWhen you come back to the UK to perform, just remember that,\u201d he said. \u201cYou f**ked with my business when you did that video with Jake Paul\u2026 that\u2019s why I don\u2019t f**k with you.\u201d The appearance on May 29 rapidly spread across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube as KSI\u2019s feature for the latest hit single was seen hitting pads with one of his YouTube rivals. \u201cWhen you get into this sh*t, realize it\u2019s just business,\u201d Trippie Redd fired back. \u201cI\u2019m not your friend, I don\u2019t know you.\u201d It\u2019s clear that the two aren\u2019t 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\u2019t look like he\u2019ll be featuring in any KSI tracks in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
