KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olatunji, is a famous British YouTuber, rapper, and boxer. He started on YouTube in 2009, making videos about FIFA games and funny skits. Now, he has over 24 million subscribers.
KSI’s Journey as an Arsenal Supporter
KSI is a part of the Sidemen group and he has fought in big boxing matches against people like Logan Paul and Tommy Fury. But one of all the things that stands out: his huge love for Arsenal Football Club. As a lifelong fan, he often talks about the team on social media and podcasts.
KSI grew up watching Arsenal in the early 2000s, during their glory days with stars like Thierry Henry. He calls it a “childhood dream” to be linked with the club. Over the years, KSI has shared his ups and downs as a fan. He cheers loudly when Arsenal wins and gets upset during their losses. For example, he plays Fantasy Premier League (FPL) and often picks Arsenal players like Gabriel or Bukayo Saka in his team. In one post, he hoped for an Arsenal win to make his weekend perfect. He even jokes about rivals hating Arsenal because they are scared of the team’s success.
KSI doesn’t hide his passion. He attends games and reacts live on X (formerly Twitter). After Arsenal’s recent loss to Manchester United, friends trolled him, and videos showed him looking sad. But he stays positive. He backs the team to win the Premier League title this season, despite the tough competition.
The PRIME Partnership with Arsenal
In 2022, KSI and Logan Paul launched PRIME, a hydration drink. It quickly became popular. Then, in a big moment, PRIME became Arsenal’s official hydration partner. The fans can buy it at the Emirates Stadium, and players drink it too. KSI said it was “one of the greatest days” of his life. He felt like pinching himself because his product was now part of his favorite club. This deal shows how KSI turned his fandom into a business win. It’s fun for supporters, with PRIME ads and events at games.
KSI’s Views on Arsenal Players
KSI often shares thoughts on Arsenal’s squad. He calls Bukayo Saka the “most important player” – a talisman who drives the team forward. On new signing Viktor Gyokeres, who cost £64 million but struggled early, KSI defends him. He nicknames Gyokeres “the magnet” because he pulls the defenders away, creating space for others, even if he doesn’t score much yet. KSI believes in manager Mikel Arteta‘s project, saying rivals “hate everything” about it but are “terrified” of Arsenal winning.
In the FPL updates, KSI tweaks his team with Gunners defenders like Timber or Gabriel, showing his trust in the backline. He even brought in ex-Arsenal player Granit Xhaka for his fantasy squad.
Reactions to Key Matches
KSI’s reactions make him relatable to the fans. When the Gunners lost the title in past seasons, videos captured his disappointment. Recently, after the Man Utd defeat, he stayed very hopeful. He said friends are “angry” because Arsenal might turn London “red” with success. In older content, like a 2016 football challenge video with Arsenal themes, he showed his fun side.
KSI’s Influence on Arsenal Fans
KSI brings energy to the Arsenal community. His big following draws young fans to the club. Through PRIME and social media, he makes supporting Arsenal exciting. Even in tough times, like red arrows in FPL or losses, he keeps the faith. As Arsenal chase the title in 2026, KSI’s voice adds to the buzz. He’s more than a fan – he’s part of the family’s story.
