Summary

Watch the full interview with KSI on YouTube here: https://go.doctormikemedia.com/youtube/KSIVodcast KSI is one of the most prolific creators the internet has ever seen. If boasting a YouTube channel with over 20 million subscribers wasn't enough, he's also a member of The Sidemen, a pioneer of the YouTube boxing phenomenon, a musician, a restauranteur, and the face of Prime, the most popular drink on Earth. JJ Olantunji, as he's known on his birth certificate, is involved in so many things it was really difficult to try and narrow the discussion. Fortunately, he wasn't shy and shared a lot of interesting things with me, such as the process of writing his new song "Voices" with Oliver Tree, the caliber of his Misfits Boxing events, and the 1 woman in his life he's managed to keep hidden from the world. I'm so grateful to JJ for taking the time to visit me in NYC on the heels of an exhausting promotional tour, and hopefully this is the first of many long chats with my new friend... and future boxing opponent??
