KSI, aka Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” Olatunji, the American YouTuber, recently dropped a new song with Trippie Redd, titled “Thick of It,” and after its release, it hasn’t performed quite to its billing. In the last few days on social media, some of the fans have jokingly compared the new song from KSI to the Fortnite game, which probably won’t go down quite well with the social media influencer either.
Notably, after joining YouTube in 2009, KSI has evolved into a digital content creator on multiple platforms with a real footing in the sport of boxing and music in particular. In 2013, he had dropped a single called “Lamborghini” on YouTube, which is still quite popular among the masses unlike “Thick of It,” which has fizzled out just a few days after its initial release despite having nearly two million listeners on Spotify, and there is no potential of a change anytime soon as well.
Jake Paul also roasted KSI for his new song “Thick of It”
The DramaAlert took to their official X account to share a post about KSI’s new song “Thick of It,” getting compared to Fortnite all over the place. The comments section of their post had a lot more criticism for the YouTuber-turned-boxer, which doesn’t bode well for him and his hope to see the new song getting up the charts in the near future.
Jake Paul, one of the friends of KSI, took to his official X account to give his take on “Thick of It,” and it was far from friendly, more like a roast session. He wrote, “Thank you KSI you hero. my 83 year old grandpa hasn’t been able to walk in years. But when you released this song… he finally stood up and turned this shit off,” which didn’t please KSI bit.
In response, the 31-year-old called out Jake Paul, not wasting any time to throw a challenge at him, and remarked, “Looks like you’ve got your next opponent lined up then.”
