JJ "KSI" has had a rather eventful few weeks on the internet. Recently, he released a new single titled Thick Of It, which ended up receiving mixed reactions, including one from Kick streamer Adin Ross. Today (October 9, 2024), the two decided to face each other on stream. However, things didn't quite go as planned, as they engaged in a heated feud over the call.
KSI has had a past feud with Adin Ross, where he even threatened to slap him. Today, he repeated the same intentions live on stream. He said:
"That's two slaps now. That's two slaps. At UFC, you were running from me, brother. In UFC Miami bro."
Adin Ross responded:
"No, I wasn't, on my life, I wasn't. I was in the bathroom with MrBeast. I was there (the event) the entire time."
KSI reiterated his intentions to slap him, stating:
"That's two slaps."
Adin Ross clapped back stating that he would launch a lawsuit against JJ if he were to lay hands on him. He said:
"So smack me and I'm suing you. I don't give a f**k. I'll deport you right back into your country. I don't give a f**k. Go ahead. I've got the lawyers now."
What is the past feud involving KSI and Adin Ross?
This isn't the first time KSI has made threatening remarks toward Adin Ross. Their feud began in March 2024 when Adin included DeenTheGreat in one of his boxing events, despite Deen being signed with KSI's promotion, Misfits Boxing.
This upset KSI, leading him to publicly call out Adin Ross and his event over the fight. The event never took place, as Misfits Boxing ended up serving the Kick streamer with a lawsuit.
Although the feud quickly died down, it was clear that KSI still harbored sour feelings toward Adin Ross even weeks after the controversy. During a What's Good Podcast episode, he went as far as to threaten to slap Adin if he ever saw him. He said:
"So, like, me and Adin, I'd slap him in the face. Yeah, yeah I would slap him."
He even said that he doesn't want to be "associated" with Kick Streaming, stating:
"It all started with the boxing stuff, yeah. That's even to the point where I don't even want to go to Kick now because of Adin. I don't want to be associated with the platform, or anything to do with him."
Adin Ross isn’t the only content creator KSI has targeted in recent weeks. DanTDM, who criticized the latter's new venture, Lunchly, was also on the receiving end of some harsh comments from the Sidemen member.
