Early life

Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji[4][5] was born on 19 June 1993[6] in London[7] and was raised in Watford, Hertfordshire.[8] His father, Olajide Olatunji, was born in Ibadan, Nigeria. His mother, Olayinka Olatunji (née Atinuke), is from Islington, London.[9] He and his parents are from the Yoruba ethnic group. He was educated at Reddiford School[10] in Pinner and Berkhamsted School in Berkhamsted, where he met future collaborator and Sidemen member Simon Minter.[11]

KSI's younger brother, Deji Olatunji [hu], is also a YouTuber previously known as ComedyShortsGamer, and professional boxer. The brothers ranked first and second respectively as the "UK's Most Influential YouTube Creators" by Tubular Labs in 2015.[12][13]

YouTube and online career

2008–2013: Beginnings and FIFA videos

KSI registered his first account on YouTube under the username "JideJunior" in 2008 while in his early teens.[14] He registered his current YouTube account on 24 July 2009 under the name KSI Olajide BT, where he uploaded gaming–commentary videos of the FIFA video game series from his bedroom at his parents' house in Watford.[15][16] "KSI" stands for Knowledge Strength Integrity,[17] which was taken from a Halo clan.[18]

He dropped out of sixth form college to pursue his YouTube career once he was earning steady monthly revenue from his uploads. In an interview in 2014, he recounted asking his teacher whether he should drop-out. His teacher asked how much KSI was making from YouTube, to which KSI answered, "around £1,500 a month", which was more than his teacher earned. His parents initially disapproved, but later became supportive and featured in a number of his videos.[15] KSI later uploaded more vlog-style content and played a variety of games and in 2012, the channel reached a million subscribers.[19][15]

KSI's rise to fame was not without controversy, with him being widely criticised for his self-described 'rape-face', a recurring joke on his channel during 2012 and 2013.[15] He was the centre of a controversy following third-party allegations of sexual harassment of female staff at a Eurogamer event in 2012, that went so far as accusing him of sexually assaulting a spokesmodel Brandy Brewer, despite her tweeting that she consented to the motorboat, writing, "it's called comedy……relax".[20][21] As a result, Microsoft cut ties with KSI and he was banned from Eurogamer events.[22] KSI 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 judged on the great content and value he gives to brands and partners, without controversy."[23]

2013–present: Sidemen and expanding content

In October 2013, KSI signed with Maker Studios' sub-network, Polaris.[24] Since 19 October 2013, KSI has been part of the British YouTube group known as the Sidemen.[25][26][27] The group produces online videos, most often consisting of challenges, sketches and video-game commentary, as well as selling exclusive Sidemen merchandise.[28][29][30]

In July 2014, KSI and Comedy Central UK launched KSI: Demolished, a five-episode comedy roast web series in which British comedians such as Kojo, Michelle de Swarte, Bobby Mair, and Alex Lowe, take turns to roast KSI.[31][32][33] In August 2014, KSI was the fourth most popular personality among U.S. teenagers, according to a survey done by Variety.[34][35] On 18 August 2014, KSI teamed up with Endemol for a new sports show called Rule'm Sports.[34][36] In October 2014, KSI signed with MLG.tv, a streaming media service focused on gaming and esports, as part of the roster of live streamers.[37] In September 2015, KSI was ranked 15th on Business Insider's list of "The 15 most popular YouTubers in the world".[38]

On 4 August 2017, KSI tweeted that he would be leaving the Sidemen, citing conflicts with fellow member, Ethan Payne.[39] 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.[40] Later that month, KSI released a video in which he claimed that he was being deported from the United States for receiving an incorrect visa.[41] In November 2017, KSI released a video discussing whether his supposed falling out with the Sidemen was real or fake, saying, "[the drama] wasn't entirely real but wasn't entirely fake either."[40]

In 2019, he was ranked second by The Sunday Times in its list of the top 100 UK influencers.[16] In 2020, The Times named KSI to be Britain's biggest influencer.[42] In April 2021, he was listed among Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2021 Entertainment list.[43][44] In September 2023, Forbes ranked KSI as the second top creator of 2023, earning an estimated $24 million.[45] In July 2024, KSI appeared in a YouTube video challenge by American YouTuber MrBeast titled "50 YouTubers Fight for $1,000,000".[46]

He accompanied Paul during his entrance wearing a Prime Bottle costume and interfered in the match, but was frog splashed by Paul after Rollins quickly switched himself with KSI.[182] On 8 March 2024, KSI made another appearance on SmackDown with Paul to celebrate Prime's partnership with WWE; however, they would be interrupted by Randy Orton, who would hit KSI with an RKO.[183][184]

Personal life

KSI is a supporter of Arsenal F.C.[185] In his "Googling Myself" video, KSI revealed that he is agnostic.[186]

In March 2021, KSI faced criticism for misgendering a trans person and using a transphobic slur in a Sidemen video. He later apologised, claiming not to have known that the word was offensive.[187][188] In April 2023, KSI used the racial slur "Paki " in a Sidemen video parodying the British game show Countdown. He later apologised on Twitter and announced he was taking a break from social media. The video has since been removed.[189] He then visited the Al-Hikam Institute, a mosque in Bradford, to "educate himself", where he apologised again for the hurt and disappointment he had caused.[190]

Income and wealth

In 2015, KSI's earnings were estimated by Forbes as being over $4.5 million, ranking him as the fifth-highest-paid YouTuber in the world at the time.[191]

In 2018, Esquire magazine reported that, according to Social Blade, KSI can make up to £250,000 in advertising revenue from one video and that product endorsements on his social media cost around £75,000.[192] Heavy reported in the same year that KSI was the director of three UK companies with equity totalling £1.7 million ($2.2 million).[193]

Business Insider reported that KSI's amateur boxing match versus Logan Paul in 2018 generated around £8.5 million ($11 million) from pay-per-view revenue alone and a further live gate revenue of over £2.7 million ($3.5 million) from ticket sales.[194] Some estimates calculated the potential earnings from the fight at £30 million to £40 million each,[195] but KSI dismissed these claims, stating that his earnings were "a high amount" but "nowhere near £40 million or £20 million".[196][197] Forbes reported that KSI was contracted to earn a minimum amount of $900,000 from his second fight against Logan Paul in 2019.[198]

In an interview with Men's Health in 2020, KSI confirmed that he owns over ten properties "all around England" with a combined worth of over £10 million.[199][200] In 2020, The Sunday Times estimated KSI's earnings to be £12 million a year; a year later, they believed that his estimated earnings had gone up by another £13 million.[201][202]

KSI has been open about his investments in cryptocurrency. He revealed that he had lost almost £6 million worth of cryptocurrency in 2021. He claims to be done with cryptocurrency following his losses.[203]

In July 2023, KSI invested in The Fellas Studios, a production company owned by YouTubers Callum "Calfreezy" Airey and Joshua "TheBurntChip" Larkin.[204] It was also revealed that he had invested in notwoways, an East London sneaker brand owned by YouTuber Callum "Callux" McGinley.[205][206]

On 17 August 2024, KSI, along with the Sidemen, appeared and was ranked 21st on The Times's list of "The UK’s top 30 richest gamers and creators in 2024", estimating £50 million in fortune shared among the group.[207]

Philanthropy

In 2015, KSI donated $10,000 to an online charity stream done by YouTuber Castro1021, and he participated in the Race Against Slime event, raising money for SpecialEffect, a foundation developing technology to aid people with physical disabilities to play video games.[193]

Between 2016 and 2023, KSI and the rest of the Sidemen hosted and participated in five charity football events, raising more than £3 million for various charities, including the Saint's Foundation, Childline, Young Minds, Charlton Athletic Community Trust, CALM, Teenage Cancer Trust, Rays of Sunshine, and M7 Education.[208][209][210]

On 8 May 2020, KSI helped out at a food bank to support The Independent's Help the Hungry campaign.[211] On 18 December 2020, KSI prepared meals to support the Evening Standard's Food for London Now campaign.[212] KSI donated £10,000 to BBC Radio 1's "Lol-a-thon" fundraiser for Comic Relief on 11 March 2021.[213] On 30 March 2021, it was announced that KSI had signed an open letter, written by Lenny Henry, to urge black British people to take the COVID-19 vaccine.[214]

On 15 December 2023, KSI faced American streamer IShowSpeed in a charity boxing sparring match after a year-long banter rivalry. They managed to raise over £50,000 for the Anthony Walker Foundation.[215][216]
