His real name is Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji, but he’s sometimes named “JJ.”
Though Paul is known for venturing into many other avenues, such as film and television, KSI has largely maintained his social media portfolio. He has a music career with various songs, and he released a collaboration album earlier this year.
He also began boxing in front of Paul; before his first fight against Paul, he fought another YouTuber. In that fight, Joe Weller was knocked out in the third round.
Why is he famous?
KSI began as a YouTuber game in 2009, posting footage of him playing the FIFA soccer video game. He kept making gaming posts, even after he began branching out into vlog-style uploads. Its channel expanded exponentially, exceeding three million subscribers by the end of 2013-14. It currently has the 115th most popular YouTube channel with 20.5 million subscribers.
His fame also increased as he and other British entertainers founded the Ultimate Sidemen entertainment group (it would later just be called Sidemen). He continued to make videos as he used to, albeit within a community to help each producer grow their online presence. In 2017, KSI declared that he had left the party, but later acknowledged that it was a way to get recognition, and he never left.
As KSI started to become more popular, he became interested in a music career, and he had a lot of popularity in the United Kingdom. His debut album “Lamborghini” was No. 30 on the UK singles chart. His EP debut “Keep Up” was No. 1 on the UK R&B Albums Chart.
He continued to release music and also went on tour to support his albums. Earlier this year, he released a collaboration album named “New Age.” with YouTuber Randolph.
Net Worth
The net value of KSI is $20 million, according to Wealthy Gorilla. By reference, his rival, Logan Paul, has a net rating of 19 million dollars on the same page.
According to Forbes, KSI was the fifth-highest paying YouTuber in 2015, receiving $4.5 million. It’s fair to say that he’s already earning millions of money, as he’s just gained notoriety and introduced more financial avenues since then. Plus, his boxing matches against Paul were also major revenue generators.
