While YouTubers Olajide ‘KSI’ Olatunji and Logan Paul are in the midst of an ongoing feud, the two could have had a surprising friendship, according to Paul.
Paul discussed the possibility of being friends with KSI during an episode of his ‘imPaulsive’ podcast on March 13, after Australian special guests ‘The Rackaracka Twins’ brought up the subject.
“I feel like, if this boxing fight didn’t happen, you and KSI would actually be really good mates,” one Twin said of their match – to which Paul had a startling agreement.

“I’ve said this before,” Paul admitted. “Unfortunately, I just hate him now.”

The Twins went on to suggest that Paul is merely beefing with KSI’s YouTube persona, rather than KSI himself, after which the conversation shifted to his recent dispute with Jake Paul.
Although Logan accused KSI of wimping out of their upcoming rematch, KSI argued that Jake is more “relevant” in a series of scathing tweets in early March – which turned into a heated argument that brought up Logan’s tumultuous love life.
Jake had even called out KSI in his Instagram story prior to the Twitter feud, stating that he “wants nothing more in life” than to box the UK YouTuber.
You had your chance and you blew it fam :joyful::joyful::joyful:. Besides, your brother is popping WAY more than you. You ain’t got the juice like that no more. I’m the champion remember :wink:.

While Logan claimed that KSI had broken the terms of their contract, it looks like their rematch could very well be out of the question in light of Jake Paul’s involvement – although the YouTuber is potentially set to face off with American rapper Soulja Boy in the interim.
