KSI VS Deji: The unsettled beef between the two YouTube brothers

Back in 2018, the two creators had beef over various diss tracks and Logan Paul’s podcast. After constant arguments with each other, both went on Twitter and put their anger online.

On Christmas morning, KSI confronted his brother had kicked him out of his house. In his own words, he said, “Kicked out the house. Bro says he owns the house. Said he’ll call the police if I stay. My parents just look by and allow it lol. This sh*t is fu**ed man. After all the years of helping this boy. Just sad. Whatever. You do you fam.”

However, Deji was not ready to handle any criticism from his brother and replied, “You always play the victim card and just manipulate your fans to hate me. You’re nothing but a bully, who thinks he’s always right. Merry Christmas.” Unfortunately, only things escalated after Deji’s tweet and the beef between the two brothers started.

JJ’s brother continued to explain the situation to his fans and added, “I told you to leave my house because you threatened to smash my computer and kick down my door. You wanted me to delete my videos when you told me I could upload it. You came home to argue. Stop playing the victim.” Indeed, Deji’s tweets only ended up making KSI more frustrated and angry with his younger brother.

The dispute between the brothers only worsened when JJ added,” Keep making videos on me. I know you need it. You’ve trapped our parents because if they speak against you, you’ll just threaten them since you own the house.” To this, Deji fumingly replied, “‘You’re nothing but a manipulative piece of sh*t. You’re no brother. You say to keep it private, but you’re publicly tweeting.”
