KSI Reveals Reason Behind Shock YouTube Ban

Youtuber Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” Olatunji Jr. most commonly known as KSI has recently revealed the reason behind his disappearance on youtube for a full week. KSI is an English YouTuber, filmmaker, actor, musician, and professional boxer mainly known for his music, vlogs, boxing, and challenges with the Sidemen. He has two solo YouTube channels which are KSI and JJ Olatunji. Apart from this, he is also a part of three group channels, Sidemen, MoreSidemen and SidemenReacts.

However, KSI has never neglected his YouTube roots, and uploads several times a week on his secondary channel. He uploads videos such as “try not to laugh” challenges or “reaction videos,” in which he will react to some memes or clips that were posted on his public Reddit page. But then in one of his “try not to laugh” videos, KSI seems to include some content that YouTube deemed inappropriate. On February 21st, KSI posted a tweet on his twitter account stating; “Might have to wait for an upload. Sorry.” It was followed up by another tweet stating; “It was one of the try not to laugh videos. One of the clips was against community guidelines unfortunately. Ah well”.

After seven days of inactivity, he returned to the platform and he uploaded a video of him explaining the matter. He stated that his “Try not to laugh: Indian Edition” video contains an alleged instance of “child endangerment.” As he said; “So, one of my videos — a ‘try not to laugh,’ the Indian edition — had, uh, ‘child endangerment, I think that’s a new thing in the YouTube TOS, but basically, I crossed that line, and they said naw **, get outta here! So I got banished for a week, but I’m back! I’m back, and I know no, no child can be endangered, okay! So guys, we’re doing a Reddit video, please — can we not have any child being endangered on my Reddit.” Now, it seems that he’s been made well aware of YouTube’s terms, and will hopefully avoid any future bans for similar reasons.
