KSI has been at the center of controversy once again, this time in a fiery Twitter “fight” with a fellow YouTuber DanTDM.

Garnering a lot of attention, many are wondering what actually happened. 🤔

KSI co-founded PRIME Hydration with Logan Paul, which increased its product line to include a variety of energy and sports drinks.

Most recently, PRIME collaborated with MrBeast’s Feastables to launch Lunchly, a brand of snack kits marketed as a healthier alternative to Lunchables.  

(FYI, MrBeast faces controversies with exploitation while Logan Paul has become infamous for filming dead bodies in Japan)

The response to Lunchly has been mixed…

It has real cheese, reduced sugar, and fewer calories but it is still processed and not healthy. 

DanTDM tweeted that KSI and his partners were “selling crap to kids” for monetary gain.

Thereafter, the drama escalated and the two creators started exchanging blows on Twitter. 

KSI retaliated and fired back with sarcastic tweets of his own. 🔫

Does it sound like AI-generated? 🤖

The song shows the reflection journey of KSI.

Several literary devices are employed throughout the song, adding depth and nuance to their storytelling.

The metaphor of “Thick of it” serves as the song’s backbone, encapsulating the idea of being deeply entrenched in the struggles and pressures of life and fame. 

Through clever wordplay and a strong rhythm, both artists use the lyrics to mirror their experiences in the limelight while embracing the challenges and triumphs they have faced. 🎼

The particular line of “I’m in the thick of it, everybody knows,” highlights that he is constantly under the limelight. 

His song starts with the opening of a clean guitar tune.

Followed by KSI’s vocals which sounded slipshod and excessively edited. 

Techniques like layering vocals feel messy and lack unity.

His lyrics showcased his determination to always keep evolving and succeeding, no matter the obstacles. 

This attitude resonates with his public person who tried new fields like music, boxing, and even business. 🥊 

However, it lacks deeper meanings, with common lyrics about conquering and ultimately triumph.

The lyrics are ultimately catchy but it feels too repetitive and boring after a few listens.
