A third comment added:

KSI’s track “Thick of It,” released on October 3, 2024, has faced significant online criticism, with some listeners calling it “generic” and “lacking substance.”

This sparked a wave of memes and jokes, including exaggerated claims that the song’s quality was grounds for his arrest.

These comments are entirely humorous and not based on any actual legal actions.

Despite the jokes, there is no evidence to suggest that “Thick of It” led to any legal issues or arrest rumors involving KSI.

Additionally, KSI has been associated with other controversies, such as allegations of participating in cryptocurrency pump-and-dump schemes.

In early 2024, YouTube investigator Coffeezilla highlighted transactions suggesting KSI’s involvement.

KSI responded by clarifying that he did not act maliciously and ultimately incurred financial losses in these ventures.

He emphasized that he has not faced any legal action over this matter.

Likewise, a June 2023 video claimed that KSI spent around 10 minutes in prison.

KSI responded humorously in the video, expressing surprise and saying, “Wow, I got arrested. Swag.”

While details about his arrest and the reasons behind it were not disclosed, the tone of the video suggested it was a lighthearted and playful recount of the event, leaving viewers amused rather than concerned.

In October 2022, KSI was involved in a car crash. He confirmed that the crash occurred after a late-night sparring session when another driver caused a hit-and-run accident.

KSI reassured fans that he was unharmed and that the situation was handled as police witnessed the event, chased the fleeing driver, and apprehended them.

This update relieved fans, and KSI emphasized that everyone involved was safe and blessed.

This incident did not lead to any legal trouble for KSI, despite rumors on social media.
