Having Abandoned the Sidemen, KSI Becomes a GOALS Character
YouTube personality KSI has announced his departure from the content group Sidemen after 13 years together. While initially attributing the split to wanting more time with family and his partner, subsequent actions have undermined this explanation.
Following the announcement, KSI was filmed performing a “67 meme” at a Tesco supermarket with lookalikes. Interview clips reveal his actual motivation centers on increasing viewership, with KSI openly expressing ambitions to become the UK’s equivalent of MrBeast.
The online community has reacted negatively to the departure and KSI’s contradictory statements. Fans and observers believe he is prioritizing views and associated revenue over his 13-year friendship with the other six Sidemen members. The backlash has been substantial, with criticism focused on the gap between his stated reasons and his demonstrated behavior and ambitions.
