In addition to his YouTube career, the 27-year-old has released four EPs as a rapper, two of which have topped the UK R&B Albums Chart.

In 2015, he was ranked as the UK’s most influential YouTube creator, with his brother Deji, otherwise known by his handle Comedy Shorts Gamer, ranking second.

In 2016, he made his feature film debut in the comedy Laid in America alongside fellow YouTube star Casper Lee.

He was also a founding member of the online group The Sidemen, which are the product of seven British YouTubers. In 2018, they launched their own premium web TV series.

However, he was the centre of controversy in 2012 after a Eurogamer event due to supposed sexual harassment of attendees.

The judges scored it: 57-58 in favour of KSI, 57-57, 57-57.
