YouTuber, musician, and boxer Olajide "KSI" has found himself in back-to-back internet dramas lately, starting with the Lunchly controversy where popular Minecraft YouTuber DanTDM claimed KSI along with Logan Paul and MrBeast were selling "crap to kids". After this, the release of his single Thick Of It wasn't received too well by social media, with many criticizing the song's lyrics.

Just when the drama seemed to die down, the YouTuber found himself in troubled waters yet again, this time involving actor Tom Holland's fan base. For context, Tom Holland announced the launch of his non-alcoholic beer brand BERO.

On witnessing this, KSI took to X and jokingly criticized the launch, seemingly using satire as a way to refer to the backlash he received from DanTDM and the rest of the internet when Lunchly was first announced to the public.

X users, especially fans of Tom Holland were outraged at KSI's remarks, and some like @JayT_Film pointed out the actor's struggles with alcoholism in the past.

"Tom Holland openly spoke up about his alcohol addiction in the past, which led to him doing research and funding his own company that would produce an alcohol-free beverage that would help others to steer away from these struggles. You are a lowlife piece of sh*t."

@DarkstarEvan echoed this sentiment, saying:

"There are so many actors you could say this for, but saying this about Tom Holland, a recovering alcoholic, is just f**king low."

Others, like @notjustin07, brought up the YouTuber brand, Lunchly:

"Nah, KSI is an actual piece of sh*t for this, Tom Holland is doing this for not only himself but others that struggle with being alcoholics. F**k you and f**k your shitty Lunchables, give up the stupid petty one-sided drama, you're literally 31 years old."

Some, like @AlexNaivety expressed how personal BERO is to Tom Holland:

"DanTDM continues to live rent-free in KSI's mind while repeatedly proving how worthless his product with MrBeast is. Tom Holland's non-alcoholic beer is extremely personal to Tom, because he used to be an alcoholic. Stop crying and do better."

KSI claimed he was "not serious" regarding his statements on Tom Holland's new product announcement

KSI's original post poking fun at Tom Holland's product launch followed the same structure DanTDM's message criticizing Lunchly had. Although the YouTuber's intentions were reportedly playful, he received severe backlash from X.

To clear up the air, he addressed the negativity and said he was only joking:

"For those of you that don’t know, I’m not serious. Just another dig at DanTDM because I’m petty."

To further clarify, he stated that he condones Tom's product and thinks it's a great idea:

"He’ll know I’m not being serious anyway. As someone that doesn’t drink alcohol anymore, I think it’s a dope idea. I’m always happy when actors, YouTubers, etc produce new products for people. I’m a progressive guy LOL."

In other news, KSI expressed his disappointment over the negative reception to his latest song, Thick of It, and encouraged his fans to "move on" through a message on social media.
