Since then, people have been trying to understand what really pushed him to make such a huge decision. Now, a recent video from the YouTuber has given fans a clearer picture of what may have been happening behind the scenes.

In a video uploaded on his KSI+ YouTube channel, JJ, whose real name is Olajide Olatunji, spoke honestly about feeling overwhelmed with work and personal responsibilities. He admitted that he has been “struggling time-wise” because his schedule has become too packed. The comments quickly spread across social media, with many fans connecting them to his Sidemen departure. While KSI never directly said that stress caused him to leave the group, his words made many people believe burnout and lack of personal time played a big part in the decision.
