Olatunji became successful thanks to his FIFA videos, especially the one about the Aston Villa legend Emile Heskey. But the 29-year-old now hopes he did that video about another soccer superstar, instead of this former English player.
KSI hoped he could have collaborated with Messi and not Heskey
The English YouTuber recently reacted to his old videos on the Google-owned platform. So, it’s impossible for him to not react to his FIFA videos, which got him where he’s now. He reacted to his video which was released 11 years ago, “Heskey: The Best Football Player In FIFA.”
In this video, KSI talked about how glorious Emile Heskey is in FIFA 11. The video helped him get a lot of attention on YouTube. Later, Olatunji got the opportunity to meet Heskey and collaborate with him for his KSI show last year.

But while reacting to this video, KSI realized he could have “aimed for higher than Heskey.” He even claimed he could have made a video on Christiano Ronaldo, as he collaborated with IShowSpeed lately, who is a Ronaldo fan. But then KSI revealed, “I should have gone for Messi,” then he could have made a video with the Argentine.
Lionel Messi needs no introduction, as he is among the best soccer players. He has millions of fans, who consider him the greatest soccer player of all time. KSI is also among those millions of Messi fans. The English YouTuber even claimed the Barcelona legend to be the GOAT after Argentina won the FIFA World Cup.
