Coming from the UK, JJ "KSI" openly admits that he's not the most avid follower of American football. However, recent days have seen a shift in interest in the YouTuber. With Super Bowl LVIII happening last night, the YouTuber was genuinely excited about the event and even posted a picture of Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, the eventual winner. He posted:
"GG PRIME MAHOMES DOES IT AGAIN. LET’S GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!! BACK TO BACK SUPERBOWLS!!!"
One streamer who wasn't particularly impressed by the post was Darren "IShowSpeed." For those familiar, they'll know that Darren has had a friendly rivalry with JJ and has previously exchanged banter online. Reacting to the Sidemen member's post, he wrote:

JJ swiftly took notice of the banter-worthy reply made by IShowSpeed. True to his character, the YouTuber promptly posted a witty response to Darren's comment. He attached a screenshot of Arsenal's latest match in the Premier League, where they triumphed 6-0 against West Ham United. He wrote:
"I DID AND IT WAS GREAT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. LET’S GO CHIEFS!"

Prime Hydration, co-owned by YouTubers JJ and Logan Paul, is the official hydration sponsor for Arsenal Football Club. Additionally, they recently signed the NFL star Patrick Mahomes as one of their ambassadors:

Speaking of KSI, the UK YouTuber recently returned to streaming after a gap of over ten years. However, JJ's first stream didn't quite go as planned, as he inadvertently leaked his IP, prompting him to end the stream earlier than he expected.
