KSI is one of Britain\u2019s 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 \u2014 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, \u201cIs KSI\u201d into the search bar. Surprisingly, the term, \u201cIs KSI dead\u201d popped up as the very first result, which the star could hardly believe was circulating the net. \u201c\u2018Is KSI dead?\u2019\u201d the star read aloud, incredulous. \u201cAre people really searching that? Wait, what happens if you click it?\u201d Unfortunately for KSI, the top result took him to a clickbait video, which promptly mocked the viewer for falling for their \u201ctrap\u201d \u2014 and that wasn\u2019t 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\u2019t the last time KSI\u2019s apparent \u201cdeath\u201d would come up in his Google video, either, with another query stating, \u201cKSI is dying from cancer.\u201d \u201cYou guys are wild!\u201d the star laughed. \u201cWhy are you searching this?\u201d (Topic begins at 1:04) KSI isn\u2019t 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 \u201cshot\u201d 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 \u2014 and while both celebs took the odd results in good humor, their videos just go to show how zany the internet can actually be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI floored after reading \u201crumors\u201d of his own death online JJ Olatunji, YouTubeYouTube star KSI has jumped on the \u201cGoogle Myself\u201d bandwagon, once again \u2014 but the results of his latest queries turned up some seriously unusual popular searches.
