Wait, What?! KSI is Leaving The Sidemen?!
- What’s Inside: KSI’s big announcement, why he’s leaving, and what it means for The Sidemen.
Okay, hold up. We just saw something that made us do a double-take. KSI? Leaving The Sidemen? After THIRTEEN YEARS? Our minds are officially blown.
For those who might be living under a rock (no judgment!), KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olatunji, is a massive YouTube star. He’s part of The Sidemen, this super popular group of YouTubers who have been making videos together forever. Think of them as the ultimate friendship goals, but online.
In a video titled ‘I’m leaving the Sidemen’ (which, oof, that title alone hits hard), he told his 18.4 million subscribers that he’s been pulled in a lot of different directions lately. Life gets busy, right?
It feels like the end of an era. The Sidemen have this signature vibe – energetic, funny, and always a little chaotic. The visuals in their videos, from the bright, colorful edits to the sheer fun they have, have always been so engaging.
He said the decision was completely his. We’re still trying to process this. Thirteen years is a seriously long time to be creating content with your mates. It’s going to be weird not seeing him as a regular part of the Sidemen crew.
Our Take
Honestly, it’s sad news. The Sidemen have been a huge part of YouTube culture for so long, and KSI was a massive piece of that. We get that people grow and change, and careers take different paths, but it’s still a big moment. We’ll definitely miss seeing him with the guys.
