The past couple of months has been a wondrous ride for the YouTuber KSI. He is already an established face on the internet, and also has ventured into fields like boxing and music. This January, fans got to see JJ dominating both of these fronts together.
That is, he retained his Misfit Cruiserweight championship against Faze Temperrr and also released a song called ‘Voices’ with American singer-comedian Oliver Tree. The online presence of the celebrity did not stop there. His documentary is also doing well on Amazon Prime. But, some people were seen mocking KSI for the drama in his documentary and he had a fitting reply for them.

Olajide Olayinka Williams Olatunji is one of the biggest internet stars right now. An attempt to trace his rise to fame, the hidden side of his emotions, and other intrinsic factors of his life were seen in the Amazon prime documentary called KSI: “In Real Life”. It is directed by Wes Pollitt, and the documentary was seen trending in the past couple of days.
But it surely was not devoid of criticism. There were quite a few across several social platforms sharing their point of view on the recently released documentary video. These people were not finding the documentary to be as enthralling as it was hyped to be.
On IMDB, a user wrote that “As a documentary, it lacks a narrative focus and Structure”. The person also mentioned that the video did not justify the life and rise of JJ as an individual and just focused on the ‘money-making’ side of the figure.
On Twitter also backlashes like this were witnessed. A user was criticizing the documentary for over-hyping simplistic factors in life, like getting disciplined by parents. But KSI did not let this criticism go.
JJ’s reply to the online criticism
KSI did not let the online critic go after he mocked the scenes JJ shared with his dad in the documentary. “It’s so evident that this person hasn’t watched my doc,” was JJ’s reaction to the words from the Twitter user. He added that this person really did not even understand the point that was being conveyed in that scene.
It’s so evident that this person hasn’t watched my doc. Just completely missed the point smh https://t.co/ijCK1flyCv

Though later, the 29-year-old said that he appreciates the opinions of others. He added that this criticism will not affect him as he is happy with how things are right now.
At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their opinion. If my actions mean I now have a better relationship with my family, then I’m happy.

Many came in support of the internet celebrity after these words. These supporters expressed how they were able to understand the actual meaning that the video was trying to convey.
Nah you made the right call man. Never got a chance to talk with my dad about that and I still think about it to this day. You'd regret it big time if you never did.

Guys on the internet will make an assumption on 100% of a situation with only 5% of the actual information. Guarantee most of them didn’t even watch the doc.

People appreciated JJ for opening up to his father, which they find would have been rather difficult. That too in front of a camera.

The criticisms aside, this Amazon Video surely has gained attention online and is liked by many. Surely this would have pushed an increase in the love JJ is getting from the online community.
