KSI HOLIDAY SPOTIFY CHARTS FULL

Yet, the release of Holiday has seen these efforts come full circle. It’s clear that for almost a decade, KSI has been working hard to rebuild his brand.

The following year, he released his debut album Dissimulation, which became the biggest studio album released in 2020. KSI even took a break from the spotlight in 2017 for six months and made his boxing debut the following year with two high-profile boxing matches against fellow YouTuber Logan Paul, winning the second in 2019.

The group now has a total of four channels – with their main channel gathering over 12 million subscribers – and are widely known as one of the biggest YouTube groups in the UK. In 2013, he formed the YouTube collective Sidemen with fellow personalities Simon Minter, Vik Barn, Joshua Bradley, Harry Lewis, Tobi Brown and Ethan Payne. As he declared in his apology, he focused on growing his digital presence and as a result, now has over 20 million subscribers on his main YouTube channel and 13 million on his second, JJ Olatunji. While some, including myself, still saw the YouTuber as loud and obnoxious – I mean who releases a book titled I Am a Bellend ? – for the most part, KSI stayed out of trouble. KSI apologised and hoped that moving forward, he would “be judged on the great content and value he gives to brands and partners, without controversy”. As a result, Microsoft cut ties with him and he was banned from future EuroGamer events. Meanwhile, in 2012, he was caught in a highly publicised sexual harassment scandal after making inappropriate comments to women in a video filmed at the EuroGamer convention. Groups like End Violence Against Women have accused him of making sexist remarks and trivialising rape during his earlier years on the platform.

Olajide Olatunji, better known as KSI or JJ to his friends, is one of the biggest YouTubers in the UK and like most internet personalities, has been embroiled in a series of controversies. While many of his fans have noted the summer hit marks a new era in his career (it’s his first collaborator-free single) for me, it signifies a shift into a new chapter of his efforts to rebrand. The YouTuber, boxer and musician released heartwarming visuals for his latest single Holiday and within a matter of days, the track has already reached number one on the Official Trending Chart, Spotify’s UK Song Debut and YouTube’s Trending list for music. KSI has been making headlines this week and not for the reasons that usually come to mind.
