YouTube star and Sidemen member Olajide "KSI" returned to singing live for the opening sequence of the Misfits & DAZN: X Series 17 event, which is taking place on August 31, 2024. This forms one of his first performances since his European music tour took place over two years ago.
The content creator was scheduled to perform in two separate segments throughout the event. His first performance of the night involved him cussing out Jake Paul, which comes as the two have been going over conditions and generating hype for a potential boxing match in the upcoming days. A weight discrepancy between the two has led to delays in a fight taking place so far.
