KSI and Piers Morgan reignite #TheRealKingOfTheInternet rivalry KSI, The Last Leg – YouTubeUK broadcaster Piers Morgan went head to head with popular YouTuber KSI in a bid to see who was the \u201creal\u201d king of the internet ahead of his fight with Logan Paul \u2013 but their \u201cbeef\u201d is far from over. KSI announced the release of his album \u2018New Age\u2019 on April 11, which quickly rose to the top of iTunes and garnered over 10 million streams in the process. The YouTuber published an excited Tweet once the album dropped, prompting Piers Morgan to take a good-natured jab at KSI\u2019s musical success. Reigniting their \u201cKing of the Internet\u201d feud \u201cHow much money will you make from it?\u201d Morgan asked, provoking a humorous response from KSI. \u201cOh, fuck off Piers,\u201d KSI retorted. Morgan then made a cheeky reference to their previous \u201cfeud\u201d on British television, writing, \u201cCalm down, mate, it\u2019s not my fault I\u2019ve got nearly two million more followers than you\u2026 #RealKingOfTheInternet.\u201d Calm down mate, it\u2019s not my fault I\u2019ve got nearly 2 million more followers than you\u2026 #TheRealKingOfTheInternet :punch::joyful: https:\/\/t.co\/D8OuEnXYnB \u2014 Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 12, 2019 The story behind their Twitter \u201cbeef\u201d Despite KSI\u2019s internet fame, Morgan noted that he\u2019d amassed two million followers more than the YouTuber during a broadcast on Good Morning Britain in summer 2018. This inspired a hilarious contest between the two in a bid to test their online stardom, with each personality Tweeting out, \u201cI am the king of the internet\u201d to see who could get the most retweets by the show\u2019s end. In a not-so-shocking turn of events, KSI emerged the victor, amassing over 18,000 retweets compared to Morgan\u2019s 12,000 retweets. Their recent \u201cTwitter feud\u201d wouldn\u2019t be the first time Morgan had inquired about KSI\u2019s monetary success, either; during the show, Morgan asked KSI how much money he made from being a famous YouTuber. Rather than flexing his personal wealth, KSI remained humble, merely answering with a modest, \u201cI\u2019m doing alright.\u201d KSI vs Logan Paul \u2013 when is the rematch? KSI\u2019s appearance on Good Morning Britain preceded his boxing match with controversial YouTuber Logan Paul in August 2018, which resulted in a draw that set up the two for a rematch in 2019. Despite this certainty, details of their rematch have been few and far between, with a leaked contract allegedly scheduling the fight for February. However, that time has since passed, with KSI announcing their bout for November of 2019 \u2013 much to Logan Paul\u2019s apparent dismay, who even accused his rival of breaking the terms of their contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
