Olajide "JJ," better known as "KSI," had a rather emotional moment on Adin Ross' Kick stream. On October 8, 2024, the two content creators teamed up for a Just Chatting broadcast, during which KSI expressed his feelings about the negative reception his recently released single, Thick Of It, had been getting.
At one point, KSI asked how long he needed to stay on Ross' livestream. In response, the Florida native said the professional boxer could leave whenever he wanted, adding that he wanted to "help him as a friend" and did not intend to "come at him":
"You can leave whenever you want. I want to talk to you and actually get in your head and help you. I'm not here to f**king come at you, bro. I want to help you as a friend. I want to say this, anybody that hates on his song, you're a hater. Okay? He's going crazy. He has the number-one song right now. And everyone needs to lay off JJ."
After KSI confronted Ross for calling his song "a**," the indefinitely banned Twitch personality said:
"Do I think it's good? No! But, at least, I'm telling people to f**k off and stick up for you, bro. You know that s**t is a**! It's not my fault..."
The Briton seemed to get upset by the Kick ambassador's comments and abruptly ended the collaboration before saying:
"No, no. F**k yourself. F**k all your fans and f**k you!"
In response, Ross claimed that the livestream moment was "not a script":
"Come on, JJ! Dude... chat, I'm sorry, bro. But the song sucks! I like JJ as a... I respect him as a, you know, a YouTuber and a boxer. But f**k, bro! It's not a script. I'm not joking. I didn't know he was going to come on like that. Bro, what the f**k?"
"I've got people online trolling repeatedly" - KSI explains why he has been "so mad" ever since the release of Thick Of It on Adin Ross' stream
Another moment from KSI's collaboration with Adin Ross has garnered attention on social media. In it, the Sidemen member explained why he had been "mad" since the release of Thick Of It, claiming that netizens were "trolling" him repeatedly:
"Why am I so mad? Have you seen what I've been going through these past few f**king days?! Leaves me happy releasing my music, and then I've got people trolling online repeatedly! And there's nothing that I can do, and it pisses me off! And then I've got the f**king Atlantic hit me up, being like, 'Bro, I know you're going to hate me, but you got to react to another TikTok because they're just flying right now.'"
In other news, KSI recently made a brief appearance on YouTube star Darren "IShowSpeed's" livestream, during which the 19-year-old made him sing Thick Of It in front of thousands of live viewers.
