Olajide Olayinka Williams "JJ" Olatunji[1][2] (born 19 June 1993),[3] known online as KSI,[A] is a British YouTuber, internet personality and rapper known for his YouTube video content.[5][6] Olatunji is a member and co-founder of the entertainment collective known as the Sidemen, alongside six other British YouTubers, producing online videos to a combined audience of over 53 million followers.[7][8][9]

In July 2009, Olatunji registered his YouTube account under the name KSIOlajideBT. Inspired by other YouTubers, Olatunji built his following from posting gaming–commentary videos of the FIFA video game series.[10] As of October 2019, the channel has received over 20 million subscribers and 4 billion video views, ranking as the sixth-most subscribed and nineteenth-most viewed channel from the United Kingdom, and placing him among the top 120 most subscribed channels on the platform.[11][12][13]

Olatunji has been involved in two high-profile amatuer white-collar boxing events. The first, against British YouTuber Joe Weller, was won by Olatunji via technical knockout. With a live online audience of over 1.6 million, the fight was described as the largest white-collar boxing event in history. The second fight, versus American YouTuber Logan Paul, ended in a majority draw and was labelled 'the largest event in YouTube history'. Boxing-promoter Eddie Hearn was involved to promote the rematch, which is set to be a professional bout.

Having written and produced comedy–rap songs in his early YouTube career, Olatunji released his more purist debut extended play, Keep Up, in 2016, reaching number one on the UK R&B Albums Chart. After releasing three more extended plays and singles, Olatunji released a collaborative album with Randolph, titled New Age, in 2019.[14] Olatunji featured in the British comedy film Laid in America (2016), and was the subject of Can't Lose (2018), a documentary film following the build up to his first amateur boxing fight.

Early and personal life

Born in London, Olatunji grew up in Watford, Hertfordshire.[citation needed] His parents, Jide Olatunji and Yinka Jide Olatunji, are of Nigerian descent.[15] Olatunji was educated at Berkhamsted School, where he met future Sidemen member Simon Minter.[16]

Olatunji's younger brother, Deji Olatunji, is also a YouTuber. The brothers both ranked number one and two respectively as "UK’s Most Influential YouTube Creators" by Tubular Labs in 2015.[17][18]

In late November 2018, Olatunji and his brother fell out after Deji revealed his personal bank records; Olatunji later condemned Deji's actions and expressed his disappointment towards his parents for allowing the publication of his financial records.[19] In January 2019, Deji apologised to his brother for his "impulsive" and "rash" behaviour.[20] In May 2019, Deji made the video in which he exposed Olatunji's bank records public again, promoting Olatunji to state on Twitter that he is "done" with his brother.[21] Deji would later accuse Olatunji of years of mental and physical abuse.[22]

YouTube career

2008–2013: Beginnings, controversy and FIFA videos

Olatunji shooting a video in for his YouTube channel in 2012

Olatunji registered his YouTube account on 24 July 2009 under the name KSIOlajideBT, where, inspired by other YouTubers, he uploaded gaming–commentary videos of the FIFA video game series.[23]

Olatunji was the centre of a controversy following his actions at a Eurogamer event in 2012.[24][25] Accused of verbally and sexually harassing staff and attendees at the event, Microsoft cut ties with Olatunji and he was banned from all future Eurogamer events.[26] Olatunji subsequently apologised "for any offence the video of 15 months ago may have caused in the short time it was on his YouTube channel, references to it since and subsequently used by other people" and stated his desire to move on from the incident and be "be judged on the great content and value he gives to brands and partners, without controversy."[27]

In February 2013, Olatunji broke the previous world record for 'the most goals scored against computer' of 110 goals, scoring 190 goals. As a result, his name appeared in the 2013 Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition.[28] After defeating Virgin Gaming co-founder Zach Zeldin in a match of FIFA, Olatunji visited Las Vegas,[29] where he discussed YouTube's launching of a paid-channel subscription project.[30]

In October 2013, Olatunji signed with Maker Studios' sub-network, Polaris.[31]

2013–2017: Sidemen and expanding content

On 19 October 2013, Olatunji and four other British YouTubers formed the entertainment collective Ultimate Sidemen, later shortened to just Sidemen. The group now consists of seven British YouTubers (Vikram Barn, Josh Bradley, Tobi Brown, Harry Lewis, Simon Minter, Ethan Payne, and Olatunji), producing online videos.[32][33][34]

In 2015, Olatunji released a book titled KSI: I Am a Bellend.[35][36] The book was released on 24 September 2015 in the UK and five days later in the United States,[36] and Olatunji toured to support the book from its release until 4 October 2015.[36]

2017–present: YouTube boxing

On 4 August 2017, Olatunji tweeted that he would be leaving the Sidemen, citing conflicts with fellow member, Ethan Payne.[37][38] Shortly thereafter, he released a number of diss track videos criticising members of his then-former group, to which most of the members responded back with their own.[38] Later that month, Olatunji released a video in which he claimed that he was being deported from the United States for receiving an incorrect visa.[39]

British YouTuber, Joe Weller, criticised Olatunji and the Sidemen for artificially stirring controversy.[38] Following public disagreements on Twitter, the pair announced that they would be facing each other in a boxing match on 3 February 2018 at Copper Box Arena in London.[38] During the announcement, the two YouTubers verbally and physically confronted each other, with Olatunji appearing to mock Weller's struggles with depression;[38] Olatunji later apologised for his comments. In November 2017, Olatunji released a video discussing the issue of whether his supposed fight with the Sidemen was real or fake, saying, "[t]he drama wasn't entirely real but wasn't entirely fake either."[38]

KSI during the weigh-in before his amateur boxing match with Logan Paul in August 2018

On 3 February 2018, Olatunji competed in his first white-collar amateur boxing match against fellow YouTube personality Joe Weller at the Copper Box Arena in Hackney Wick, London. The fight, titled KSI vs. Joe Weller, was won by Olatunji 1 minute and 30 seconds into the third round by way of technical knockout;[40] Olatunji was awarded the YouTube Boxing Championship Belt.[41] On YouTube, the fight drew 1.6 million live viewers, 21 million views within a day,[42] and over 25 million over the next several days, making it the biggest white-collar boxing fight in history.[43]

Olatunji expressed his respect for Weller after the fight for being "way harder, way tougher than I thought," and praised him for his commitment to raising awareness on mental health issues. He then proceeded to call out American internet personality Logan Paul, his brother Jake Paul, and retired footballer Rio Ferdinand.[44]

On 24 February 2018, it was announced that it was announced that Olatunji would be fighting Logan Paul in a white-collar amateur boxing match, with his brother, Deji, fighting Logan Paul's younger brother Jake Paul on the undercard.[45] The fight ended as a majority draw, with two judges scoring the fight even at 57–57 and a third judge scoring 58–57 in favor of Olatunji.[46] The fight has been labelled "the largest event in YouTube history"[47] and "the largest ever amateur boxing fight".[48]

On 3 September 2019, a rematch between the two was announced. The fight is set to take place on 9 November 2019 at the Staples Center, Los Angeles, and will be promoted by Eddie Hearn.[49][50] Unlike the first fight, the rematch will be a professional fight and the two fighters will not be wearing any headgear. The undercard will feature professional boxers, including Devin Haney and Billy Joe Saunders.[51]

On 29 April 2016, Olatunji released a song titled, "Goes Off", featuring Mista Silva.[56] The song was released as the lead single to Olatunji's second EP, Jump Around. Olatunji later released the second single from the EP titled, "Friends with Benefits" featuring Dutch musical group MNDM on 29 July.[57] The EP's title track featuring Waka Flocka Flame was released as the third single on 16 September.[58] Jump Around was later released on 28 October 2016 through Island Records.[59]
