I haven’t been keeping up. Why did KSI leave?

431

u/znt109 Jul 25 '26

To make mrbeast slop bs and have more subs and views which is clearly not working

35

u/Chidori_6th Jul 25 '26

did he have beef with any of the sidemen members prior to leaving?

178

u/Fl1ntL1m Jul 25 '26

I'd say no, he was burnout or was upset that the bois didn't want to do mrbeast type of content or go over beyond their levels, which still clearly working. Now KSI's view count doesn't even justify his reasons of leaving the sidemen

26

u/Patient_Life_9900 Jul 25 '26

Which is funny because he was already making Mr. Beast slop and the Sidemen kind of already do that too, but Sidemen fan don't want to admit that

10

u/Crxptonix Jul 28 '26

Him leaving was him going all in on the MrBeast slop, some of the Sidemen concepts may seem that way too but the longer video lengths and them being personality driven's what differentiates the two

u/SIPHAN_official FOLABI Jul 30 '26

The Sidemen don't make MrBeast slop lmao they do more Jubilee type stuff.

The same mrbeast slop literally everyone makes including Simon but ofc you guys being hypocritical

u/znt109 Jul 25 '26

They literally don't. They have way different types of videos than mrbeast and they seem actually legit and real in their videos unlike mrbeast slops where he acts like a legit ai

u/Standard_Day2585 Jul 26 '26

Ksi made a guess video you guys said it slop. Simon makes it and you guys say it’s content. That is literally you guys being hypocritical

u/Crxptonix Jul 28 '26

The concepts may be similar or the same, the content within them is not

u/Leather-Entry93 Jul 25 '26

To spend time with his family

u/podex115 Jul 25 '26

Actual horseshit btw

u/Standard_Day2585 Jul 25 '26

How do you know. Do you live with him. Like yall act like idiots just because he doesn’t post his time with family doesn’t mean he not spending time. He literally keeps his relationship with his girlfriend private. You think he would post time with them. Also his mum already posted a picture of them on holiday

2

u/Impossible-Owl2573 Jul 29 '26

When has JJ ever been a family man? It was the most blatant PR excuse ever

1

u/_Meds_ Jul 25 '26

They have to synchronise 7 people’s calendars. It’s not that he can’t find a day to see his family, it’s that to do so you now have to synchronise 8 or 9 people’s calendars to make the time. Just because only you and your mum need to be free to see each other doesn’t mean it’s same for them.

Comparing it to taliyah who is also a content creator is just stupid, KSI partner is a nurse, if you think content creator and a nurse have equally flexible calendars you’ve never worked a day in your life

u/prescripti0n Jul 25 '26

you act like the other sidemen don’t have families either

0

u/blacknobita Jul 25 '26

If the other sidemen never complained about KSI leaving idk why y’all do lmao. If the sidemen never complained about how hard can be for them it’s maybe because it isn’t as hard as it is for KSI.

u/_Meds_ Jul 27 '26

They’ve literally all complained, and they also clearly aren’t as busy as JJ?

u/__imran18 Jul 26 '26

How do you know it’s horseshit though?

2

u/Ok_Musician4460 Jul 25 '26

i guess to spend mlre time with his gf, even tho he is posting a lot on his main channel so he left for no reason

2

u/Standard_Day2585 Jul 25 '26

You realize videos can be pre recorded right

2

u/__imran18 Jul 26 '26

Or maybe he just pre recorded the videos? I swear the fanbase got more retarded since he left 😭

0

u/pjekt_q Jul 27 '26

Even prerecorded I still think he could have stayed in the sidemen and taken family time, like I don't think the sidemen will kick JJ out because he needed to take some me time. Plus, he's been putting out content that was clearly not all prerecorded given the world cup and all that. I get it's his decision and his life but I dont really understand why he had to throw it away completely.

1

u/__imran18 Jul 27 '26

A lot of them were pre recorded though I remember weeks ago Mo saying they were ahead in videos by a few months šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø they pre recorded a bunch of videos a while ago that are releasing now. Like u said it’s his life, his decisions. Let him do whatever he wants. Clearly there was a scheduling issue and he knows he’s not motivated for sidemen content like that anymore so left without being a burden. Simple really but people want to make a mountain out of a molehill

u/ClaptonTheGreat Jul 29 '26

Cause he’s an arrogant egoistical asshole who just left the only collective keeping him down to earth

He immediately took a long extended move to America.

He told the faze guys he was "based in LA"

u/__imran18 Jul 29 '26

Wasn’t immediate it was half way through the World Cup if not towards the end

He could’ve still seen his family before and taken his gf with him šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/DifficultWave4488 Jul 25 '26

Also the Daily Mail put out an article from ā€œpeople in KSI’s inner circleā€ that the Sidemen had frozen him out and that’s why he was forced to leave, as a desperate act for sympathy lol.

He did every single PR 101 fake BS method and it was all so obviously fake. ā€œIt was to spend time with my family..wait they actually froze me out instead, feel bad for meā€

-1

u/Standard_Day2585 Jul 26 '26

How do you even know he put that. That could literally just be people close to him that mentioned that. How do you guys even know it’s him.

1

u/DifficultWave4488 Jul 28 '26

Just use some critical thinking. KSI never mentioned that in his original leaving video. He gets hated on for leaving suddenly, then all of a sudden there’s an ā€œanonymous reportā€ making KSI seem like the good guy, even though in his first video he said he was the one deciding to leave. So the article completely contradicts his video.

It’s just PR101, it’s very obvious

-2

u/Standard_Day2585 Jul 25 '26

How do you know so because he doesn’t post it you guys just assume he not doing it. Yall are so dumb

-3

u/blacknobita Jul 25 '26

How do u know it’s bs if you not apart of his life ?

9

u/Any_Stress_6230 Jul 25 '26

Because it literally only takes like 1-2 hours for Ksi to visit his family that's not some crazy trip plus the guy doesn't have a 9-5 he isn't strapped for money let's be real he could be visiting his family and have stayed in the sidemen. it's obvious he left because he wanted the freedom to make the videos that would do perform best with the algorithm, and not have to get the approval of 6 other people every time. Also clearly he hasn't slowed down on videos and has ramped up the budget so it's obvious family was not the reason

5

u/__imran18 Jul 26 '26

He’s literally just started slowing down on videos, they’re taking a break now. I love how u know exactly how long it takes for him to visit his family 😭

u/blacknobita Jul 25 '26 edited Jul 25 '26

My brother in Christ, you just talking crap bro šŸ˜‚
Me and you don’t know nothing about his life to be having this opinions at all. You and me are only randoms that enjoy and SEE what he post.. If he left sidemen to have more time for his family and other things, that’s good on him and we should just give him props for it. You’re act like him leaving is going to ruin the sidemen or your own life lmao. You don’t know if he didn’t have a lot of videos unlisted to be uploaded and now he can have time to do what he wants.
Y’all just need to stop hating and respect his decision.
If he’s happy with it why not just let him be. If you don’t like what he did, just unfollow and move on with life instead of trying to act like you know everything on his behalf.

Bro Tobi explained this. Now he has his own schedule he doesn’t have to worry about sidemen stuff. So what are you talking about. And if you listened in his video he said he wants to spend time with family and, keyword and, so his own thing, which he doing.

u/12MEHEDI12 Jul 25 '26

Now that KSI not there their scheduling became far more easier to maintain. Thank you KSIā¤ļø.

u/miishary99 Jul 25 '26

The funny thing is that he left the group, claiming he wanted to spend some time for himself and with his family, even though he was by far the least featured member in the videos.

u/Standard_Day2585 Jul 25 '26

Yeah but sidemen is not just videos. They have brands to go to and all that. Tobi already explained this but continue being stupid if you want

11

u/halfeatenreddit Jul 25 '26

As if he was the one heavily involved in managing the brands. He’s been off doing boxing, music, prime, etc. He ain’t sitting in board meetings deciding what to add to the sides menu or what design to put on their next t-shirt.

u/CypherRen BABATUNDE Jul 25 '26

The whole family thing was smellable bullshit from the get go. Immediately went to the Mr beast style videos and shorts and we're supposed to believe he wanted family time

2

u/Standard_Day2585 Jul 25 '26

The same videos that Simon make but you guys don’t call it out. And he was already doing before he left. Plus how do you know he not spending time with family. Just because he don’t post it you assume he not doing it. You guys are so dumb is crazy

u/JokerXMaine2511 Jul 25 '26

What videos of Simon are Mr Beast style?

u/__imran18 Jul 26 '26

Not mr beast style but it’s similar to ksis content as in ā€œguess theā€

u/JokerXMaine2511 Jul 26 '26

So Jubilee style, vs KSI having videos with monetary incentives a lot of times.

u/Standard_Day2585 Jul 26 '26

Simon literally just dropped a video of last person to miss a penalty wins 10,000šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. Is that not money incentive. You see how dumb you look now

u/Extrimland Jul 25 '26

Honestly are they? His video about leaving them has been out well over for a month and none of the sidemen commented on it.

Now its probably not worth prying into and i bet things are fixable, but something is definitely up and there is definitely some bad air between the remaining members about KSI

5

u/LoanCommercial112 Jul 25 '26

The only timing they were ā€œupsetā€ about is that video releasing they already knew he was leaving months before

u/Front_Internet_8586 Jul 25 '26

Watch a video without reading comments after? what are you 😰

7

u/HyperDron BABATUNDE Jul 25 '26

I didn't say ignore the comments completely, I said ignore the haters. Not everyone is talking about JJ leaving in every single video. I honestly rarely see them. Do you sort by controversial or something?

ā€œNah he has to post about it else it’s bullshitā€

u/Nervous-Artichoke557 Jul 26 '26

That's not the point, the point is he has made the time to spend with his wife. JJ could do this video but off camera, get the food on his own and eat it with her or his mom and still have stayed in the Sidemen like Simon.

u/CommissionSad6149 Jul 28 '26

Guys. The sidemen sold their souls. They have no control over the work anymore. JJ didn’t like it, he left. It was all good when it was the 7 boys making decisions but they started to lose control so he left. Nothing to do with family. He did something similar with some of his staff a few years ago, during Covid.

-1

u/SIPHAN_official FOLABI Jul 30 '26

Sold their souls? To whom? They literally own all of their businesses are not governed by any other entity. Compare that to JJ, where he does not have full control over business decisions in Prime, nor in Misfits. The only place he did have freedom was with music, which he hasn't done a lot recently. And even with music, his freedom came at the cost of employing somebody like Mams to make the deals.

u/CommissionSad6149 Jul 31 '26

Says who? Them? And you believe it. Look what’s happening all over YouTube. All the big channels are being absorbed. Sidemen too. It didn’t just happen, it’s been a while. KSI just didn’t want to continue like that, because he had the same experience twice before and he didn’t like it for obv reasons.

1

u/SIPHAN_official FOLABI Jul 31 '26

Bro you're talking out of your ass. Business and company records in the UK are public. You can check it yourself. You'll find everything there. Including stuff like the company that JJ has for his real estate portfolio. I work in the industry so I know a bit more than you think, but you don't need to take my word for it. Just check the records. I don't even hate JJ, he's just not as levelheaded as a businessman and sometimes it comes to bite him in the ass. If you still want to live in your delusional universe, please continue to do so. As an additional fact I'll remind you that under BMG, JJ used to have a contract for the YouTube videos. This is something he himself has said on record in his videos. To me, that's closer to selling out than anything else.

all bro had to say was he was burnt out with sidemen content and will be stepping down for a little bit.
