His videos mostly consist of ''FIFA'' gameplay/commentary, whilst playing other games on various platforms with the occasional vlog. He has also appeared on a few of different shows such as BT Sport where he played ''FIFA'' with England and Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. ==YouTube career== | silver_button = yes | silver_year = 2011 | gold_button = yes | gold_year = 2012 | diamond_button = yes | diamond_year = 2015 | stats_update = 24 November 2015 }} Before his successful channel, Olajide had a YouTube channel (which is still online) called JideJunior, which he created on 24 April 2008.〔https://www.youtube.com/user/JideJunior/〕 Olajide opened his current YouTube account on 24 July 2009, with a video about the ''FIFA'' video game franchise. According to his website, YouTubers such as Weepeler and Hjerpseth inspired him to start his own YouTube career. His main channel is primarily focused on ''FIFA'', although he plays other games such as ''Grand Theft Auto V'' and other PC-based modifications on his secondary channel. Olajide's family often appear in his videos, especially his younger brother Deji and his father. His secondary channel (KSIOlajidebtHD) contains videos of him playing more casual, arcade and horror games in a manner similar to that of comedic horseman PewDiePie. Olajide also sometimes plays with his brother Deji Olatunji, who also owns a YouTube channel called ComedyShortsGamer. KSI was the centre of a controversy following his actions at Eurogamer 2012, raised after he appeared at the Xbox One launch party in London. With the reasoning of the controversy due to supposed sexual harassment on attendees of the event, Microsoft cut ties with the video game commentator, and he was banned for life from the Eurogamer Expo. A message from KSI's manager states "Sexism is not something he condones or wants to be associated with. He wishes to apologise for any offence the video of 15 months ago may have caused in the short time it was on his YouTube channel, references to it since and subsequently used by other people. In recent months, he has also been actively avoiding certain content seen in the distant past and wants to be judged on the great content and value he gives to brands and partners, without controversy." Due to the severity of the controversy, it spilled over to involve VideoGamer.com. In February 2013, KSIOlajideBT appeared on the video "KSI VS FIFA // The Record Slam" made by GWRomg in which he broke the previous world record for 'the most goals scored against computer' of 110 goals, by scoring 190 goals. As a result, his name appeared in the ''Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition'' (2013). In August 2013, KSIOlajideBT was reacted to on the Fine Brothers' series ''Teens React''. Soon after he then posted a reaction to this video in "KSI Reacting to Teens Reacting To KSIOlajidebt". In October 2013, Olajide signed with Maker Studios' sub-network, Polaris. Around that same time, he and five other gaming YouTubers formed a group called the Ultimate Sidemen, which initially consisted of himself, Ethan Payne (Behzinga), Simon Minter (miniminter), Josh Bradley (Zerkaa), Tobi Brown (TBJZL), and Vikram Barn (Vikkstar123). The group added a seventh member, Harry Lewis (wroetoshaw), in 2014. After defeating Virgin Gaming co-founder Zach Zeldin in a match of ''FIFA'', Olajide visited Las Vegas, where he discussed YouTube's launching of a paid-channel subscription project. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KSI (entertainer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
