KSI!!!! Everything you need to know about the man, the myth, the legend!!
The man known as KSI and
everything about him!!!
Olajide "JJ" Olatunji (born 19 June
1993) better known as KSI, a
shortened version of his YouTube username KSIOlajidebt (stylized as KSIOlajideBT),
is an English comedian, YouTube personality, rapper, and occasional actor. He
is best known for his YouTube channel, which has, as of 20 April 2016, reached
over 12 million subscribers.
Before his successful channel, KSI had a YouTube
channel (which is still online) called JideJunior, which he created on 24 April
2008. KSI opened his current YouTube account on 24 July 2009, with a video
about the Fifa Video Game franchise. According to his website, YouTubers such
as Weepeler and Hjerpseth inspired him to start his own YouTube career. His
main channel is primarily focused on FIFA, although he plays other games
such as Grand Theft Auto V and other PC-based modifications on his secondary
channel. KSI's family often appeared in his videos, including his younger
brother Deji and his father. His secondary channel, KSIOlajidebtHD, contains
videos of him playing more casual, arcade and horror games in a manner similar
to that of comedic horseman PewDiePie. KSI's videos sometimes feature his
brother Deji Olatunji, better known as Comedy Shorts Gamer.
In February 2013, KSI appeared on the video "KSI VS FIFA // The
Record Slam" made by GWRomg in which he broke the previous world record
for 'the most goals scored against computer' of 110 goals, by scoring 190
goals. As a result, his name appeared in the Guinness World Record Gamer’s
Edition (2013).
KSI branched out into music, mainly as a rapper. Starting out with
fellow YouTuber Randolph, he released "Heskey Time", a rap song about
Emile Heskey, which
was released on Itunes just before Christmas in 2011. The video features Heskey
missing various chances on FIFA. Following the success of "Heskey
Time", he began doing a segment on his channel called "Football Rap
Battles", a video series that follows a similar vein Epic Rap Battles of
Histroy. There, he and Randolph play the characters of famous figures from the
world of football.
On 16 March 2015, KSI announced via his YouTube channel that he was
releasing a book entiltled KSI: I Am A Bellend. The book is entitled KSI:
I Am A Tool in the United States. Publishers describe it as “an all-out
assault on the online universe”. The book includes his history and evolution as
a YouTuber, tips on YouTube, his controversies throughout his career including
his fallout with fellow YouTube personality Gudjon Daniel, and more. The book
was released on 24 September 2015 in the United Kingdom and five days later in
the United States. KSI did a tour supporting the book on 24 September 2015,
ending on 4 October 2015.
Review:
Subscribers: 5/5
Effort: 5/5
Entertainment: 5/5
KSI is one of the most well known Vloggers and video makers on YouTube.
This is down to his witty banter and comic attitude towards life. His videos
are probably one of the most entertaining and funny I have seen on YouTube
which makes it understandable why so many others enjoy them as well.
