From YouTube stardom to boxing showdowns, KSI has seen and done it all, even producing his own full-length albums over the years. Kicking things up a notch lately, the internet celebrity has even featured big-name artists on his tracks, from Rick Ross to Lil Pump. Continuing the trend, his latest release, Houdini, features Swarmz and Tion Wayne, two popular British artists. However, Pokimane appeared to take issue with the track upon her first listen, and now KSI has fired back. \u201cShe\u2019s moving a little bit, look at that!\u201d KSI said, excited to see a fellow YouTuber getting into the rhythm of the track right from the beginning. As the British YouTube star got into his first verse, however, Pokimane\u2019s reaction changed. Instead of bobbing her head to the beat, she appeared confused while listening to KSI\u2019s first few lines. \u201cWhy is he singing like he\u2019s Jamaican?\u201d Pokimane questioned. \u201cWhen I hear this song, it just sounds like two entirely different people.\u201d \u201cSo I have to sound the exact same in every song that I produce?\u201d he responded. Jokingly taking issue, KSI went on to rant about the progression in his music. \u201cIf I literally sounded the same as I did with Lamborghini, I don\u2019t think people would enjoy my music anymore. You have to show progression, you have to show that you\u2019re mixing it up.\u201d Comparing his musical diversity to the likes of Drake, KSI explained how he\u2019s often put in a box, purely because he\u2019s a YouTuber. While Drake is praised for venturing into new genres and releasing different styles of music, KSI appears to be shunned by one of his peers for trying the same thing. \u201cI am a YouTuber, it\u2019s wrong. I have to stick to what I do from the beginning,\u201d he said sarcastically. \u201cI\u2019m not gonna lie, I\u2019m the kind of person who likes this kind of music. But when I listen to this, it could be anyone.\u201d KSI seemed taken aback, and threw a deadpan look at the camera. \u201cThis motherf***er,\u201d he said at the top of his lungs while laughing. The relevant section of the video can be found at the 5:16 mark for mobile viewers. Eventually, she started singing along to the chorus and appeared to come around to enjoy the tune, despite her initial gripes. \u201cThis is Pokimane, this is how she always is. If she likes this, then that\u2019s a huge plus,\u201d KSI added. While other reactions throughout the video might have been even more critical, KSI is convinced that Pokimane will soon have Houdini in her daily rotation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KSI puts Pokimane on blast after reacting to his new single Houdini YouTube: KSI \/ Twitch: PokimaneKSI has fired back at Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys after the Twitch star lightheartedly took issue with his latest musical release, Houdini.
