In today’s world, being a celebrity has become far easier, as you need a single hit to break the internet. The day you hit this jackpot, it does not matter how low or high your previous content is, as people set your “hit” as the benchmark for the future.

Soon, the small-time creators turn into celebrities, falling in love with this superficial life. However, that does not mean celebrities fight their own battles as they bury them deep inside their heads. They try and keep up their public image while safeguarding their dark side, as they don’t feel like falling prey to any controversies. 

Such was the case with popular YouTuber KSI, who once confessed his struggles to the Sidemen. KSI is one of the trending creators of today’s time as fans adore his comedy-style content on youtube. The 29-year-old entertains fans with reaction and “try not to laugh challenge” videos, posting subtle content for his audience.

Apart from his personal career, KSI is also part of a European group, Sidemen, that entertains fans with expensive challenge videos on YouTube. KSI has one of the most fun and loving personalities, making him a fan favorite. However, the creator once revealed the struggles behind the happy face that almost made him leave his friends.

KSI is one of the most successful creators of 2022. He amasses a net worth of over $30 million, ranking him in the richest YouTuber lists on the platform. However, it is important to understand that money and fame are just superficial things, as even celebrities need to be happy on the inside.

JJ, better known as KSI, once faced a terrible time in his life. Despite knowing he had to be himself to achieve the best version of life, he found it hard to keep up with things.

JJ felt he needed to be tough to be a part of anything that he was a part of or things that he wanted to do, as only then he could keep things aligned. KSI also revealed that these thoughts almost made him think about leaving the Sidemen, as he felt he couldn’t “act tough.”  

“I remember like I was struggling, I was thinking maybe I have to leave the sidemen just to like to be able to focus on the music so, I can look a certain way, and then I was like why don’t I just be myself,” JJ said while talking to Miniminter and Toby. 

However, Miniminter tried to lighten up the mood, questioning if it was his evolving time, as none of them wanted to dwell on the past. Soon, KSI and the gang moved on to their later segments, talking about other things.
