About[]
Deji was born in London and lived there for most his life, but he now lives in Peterborough with his parents. Deji started out posting gaming videos to YouTube, including FIFA.
He also used to make short sketches, utilizing a "parody" style in making these sketches, with his brother and dad, but by 2016 he stopped uploading these kinds of videos. Deji has created and still does create a lot of "challenge" and "prank" videos and started releasing music videos in 2017. Deji acquired a lot of his fame by virtue of being in his brother KSI's videos.
Deji recently bought his own house, where he lives with his mum and his dad, and they often feature in Deji's videos. Despite calls from both his brother and parents, Deji has refused to leave home and become independent.
Deji was previously in a relationship with YouTuber Dunjahh who he'd met on Runescape ten years ago while keeping in contact throughout the time-being. The pair broke up in December 2021.
Boxing career[]
Amateur career[]
Deji vs. Jake Paul[]
In 2018, after KSI called out the Paul brothers after his fight with Joe Weller, Deji wanted to fight Jake Paul, with JJ then deciding to fight Logan Paul as a result. Jake agreed and they were set to fight on 25 August 2018. There were two press conferences, in which both Jake and Deji insulted and goaded each other. A few days before the fight, Deji showed up at one of Jake and Logan Paul's meet and greets, Jake responded by slapping Deji in the face.
Jake won the boxing match, but Deji was well praised as he had fought well and made his fans proud after giving him a bloody nose. When Deji was in LA to make an appearance on Logan Paul's podcast "Impaulsive", Jake said he would accept Deji's request for a sparring rematch at his place, but Deji didn't go because he was advised not to.
Professional career[]
Deji vs. Fousey[]
In 2018, Deji and American YouTuber Jake Paul was challenged by American YouTuber FOUSEY to set foot in the boxing ring.[2] It was Deji who initially called out Fousey during a livestream in mid-August, claiming that his potential opponent was “nowhere near ready”. Deji later reacted to a video of Fousey sparring with fellow YouTuber Alex Wassabi on August 26, where he roasted Fousey’s boxing skills and claimed that he wanted to fly to Los Angeles to fight him.
Fousey lashed out at Deji in a series of scathing Twitter posts, where he called Deji the “biggest bitch on YouTube” and even referenced his ongoing family feud with KSI. On May 18, 2021 at the YouTubers vs. TikTokers press conference, Deji called Fousey an "easy fight". Before the weigh-in, there was an altercation backstage between Deji and Fousey.[3]
On 31 July 2022, it was announced that Deji will be fighting Fousey on the undercard of MF & DAZN: X Series 001: KSI vs. Swarmz and KSI vs. Luis Alcaraz Pineda on 27 August, 2022 at the O2 Arena in London.[4] On the night of the fight, Deji defeated Fousey in the 3rd round via TKO, claiming his first win in his boxing career.[5] Deji then proceeded to call out American TikTok star and YouTuber Bryce Hall.[6]
Deji vs. Swarmz[]
On 10 December 2022, Deji releases a video titled "HIT ME = $100".[7] In the video a fan asked him when his next fight, which Deji conformed March 2023. On 17 January 2023, Deji's boxing coach Daley Perales was interview by Boxing King Media where he shared that Deji is hoping to be fighting in April 2023 and teasing who his opponent might be by name dropping British musician and YouTuber Swarmz as a potential opponent.[8] Deji is reportedly returning to the ring for MF & DAZN: X Series 007,[9] and has already found an opponent for 13 May.[10] On 10 March, KSI reveals that Deji vs. Swarmz is close to finalizing a deal to fight on MF & DAZN: X Series 007 in London.[11]
On 13 April, it was announced that Deji is scheduled to fight Swarmz on 13 May 2023 as the co-main event fight on the card of MF & DAZN: X Series 007: KSI vs. Joe Fournier.[12][13] On the fight of the night, Deji defeated Swarmz via unanimous decision.[14] Deji then proceeded to call out British musician Liam Payne.[15]

On June 12, Deji was defeated by Hacker via 3rd round TKO. This was a huge upset to the UK YouTube community, who expected Deji to win. After the fight, Hacker was humble and checked if Deji was okay. Majority of people supported Deji and later he uploaded a video titled "see you soon" in which he stated he was taking a break to work of himself.[18] The video gained 4 million views in a week. However, 3 days after the fight, KSI uploaded a video titled "Deji" in which he criticizes Deji and his team for not working hard enough and underestimating Vinnie.[19] 2 days later KSI uploaded a photo with Deji, showing that they had reunited.[20]

Deji vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.[]
On 15 September 2022 it was reported by Mirror Fighting that American five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Deji were in the final stages of negotiations for an exhibition bout in Dubai for the 13th of November.[26] On 20 September, it was announced that Global Titans Fight Series' next event is set for 13 November at the Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai, UAE.[27] On September 26, 2022, Deji officially announce he is fighting Mayweather Jr. in a video titled "I AM FACING FLOYD MAYWEATHER".[28] On the night of the fight, Deji was defeated by Mayweather Jr. via technical knockout in the sixth round, however Deji gave Mayweather a black eye.[29] In his post-fight interview, Mayweather praised his opponent, saying: "Deji, you a tough competitor, i'm proud of you, keep up the great work." Deji then proceeded to call out musicians Justin Bieber and Liam Payne.[30]
After the fight Deji made a video called "i gave floyd mayweather a black eye".[31] In the video Deji claimed: “I had people from the Money team, Floyd’s team being like, ‘bro, Deji, Floyd just wants to go in there and just have a little fun with you. He’s not gonna hit you hard or anything, I promise, you have my word on that bro’. “And then he also told me that when you get to a clinch, just tell Floyd like, relax a little bit and he will, and he’ll relax on the power. I remember I clinched him and I’m like, ‘bruh, relax’, and you know what he said to me? ‘Shut up, I’m Floyd Mayweather, I do what I want’. “So I’m just like okay, cool, I’m like screw it, I’m here now, let’s bang, let’s fight and yeah.”

Controversies[]
Audi TT Car Crash[]
On 3 September 2016, Deji was involved in a car crash. Deji released videos in which he showed pictures of the car and explained his injuries and what happened.[32] The accident happened when Deji lost control of his Audi TT and crashed with his friend Stephen in the car. Doctors said this accident could have been fatal if the car were any less safe however Deji left the accident with only 9 stitches on his arm and leg and Stephen unharmed.[33]
Feuds with YouTubers[]
Miniminter[]
On August 5, Deji "jokingly" announced that he wanted to join the Sidemen. Simon called him out on Twitter, saying they didn't want him and that Deji should join Team 10 instead. Deji and Simon continued to dispute on Twitter, arguing primarily about JJ. Deji responded with tweets about how awful the Sidemen are and how "they're on life support".
Deji uploaded a diss track targeting the entirety of the Sidemen group (despite only having beef with Simon via Twitter) on August 11. He "dissed" all five remaining members of the group.[34] Simon uploaded a video reacting to the track along with Vik, Josh and Ethan the same day.[35]
On August 12, Simon uploaded his diss track in response to Deji's titled "KSI'S LITTLE BROTHER - DEJI DISS TRACK".[36] Deji subsequently uploaded his reaction to the track on August 13.[37]
On August 20, Deji uploaded a second diss track directed at Miniminter, titled "Ungrateful".[38]
This track once again brought about accusations of drug use which Simon denied in his reaction. Despite criticizing the track due to its "weak bars" and false information, Simon said he would not respond to any more diss tracks.[39] In a video on September 3, in which Deji and KSI reacted to diss tracks, Deji explained that "Ungrateful" was actually targeted at both Simon and Harry, and that the drug accusations were directed towards him, not Simon.[40]
Vikkstar123[]
On August 15, Vikkstar123 dropped his own diss track against Deji - something Deji said would never happen - called "THE END".[41] The song was so fire, many people have said there was no coming back from it and that the war is over. Even KSI reacted to it and admitted that Deji couldn't come back from it.
Nevertheless, Deji "reacted" to Vik's track, took it personally, got triggered, and said he'd make a new track aimed solely at Vik. Vik said that he will not be making another one, as the first was just a joke.[42]
Slim Albaher[]
After Slim Albaher defeated FOUSEY, he challenged AnEsonGib, KSI and Deji. Out of these three, Deji replied by saying that he would love to end Slim. In February 2020, Slim released a diss track on Deji titled "War" to which Deji didn't replied.[43] On 18 May 2021, Slim was in the crowd of the YouTube vs TikTok boxing press conference. Fousey questioned Deji about not fighting to Slim and Deji replied that he doesn't know Slim. Then Slim got angry and yelled that Deji chose an easy fight to which Deji replied Slim is an easy fight. During the open workout of the 27 August event, Slim and Deji hugged and ended their two-year long rivalry.[44]
Randolph[]
In a "Sidemen Sunday" video posted on 18 November 2018, Randolph was asked which YouTube channel he thought was "dead". He responded saying "Deji". This was an obvious joke.[45] Proving Randolph's point, Deji immediately made a video calling him "a slave of KSI" and doing everything for him.
After this, Randoph made a video in response saying that it was just a simple joke, and he released a diss-track Manchild aimed at Deji on 24 November 2018.[46] Deji posted a reaction video to this diss-track on the same day.[47] Deji then began work on his own diss-track RAN, which he posted on 26 November 2018. In the video (while talking about how KSI paid for Randolph's wedding) Deji leaked JJ's personal bank details.[48]
Randolph then released a second diss track on 30 November 2018, titled Victory Speech.[49] Deji's reaction to the track caused him to get in a further beef with JJ himself.[50] Randolph made a video on 7 December 2018 where he "ended it" and that he wasn't going to acknowledge Deji's "begs for attention" any longer. He admitted he only released the diss-tracks for money and attention, and did not expect it to get so out of hand.[51]
In early 2022, Deji and Randolph ended their three-year long rivalry.
Keemstar[]
On May 23, 2020, Deji uploaded a video called "My Experience with Keemstar"[52] outlining his history with Keemstar. Deji states in the video that beginning in 2016, him and Keem were on good terms but later on, Keem became much more negative and biased towards him on his show. Deji outlined the many instances that Keemstar used his DramaAlert platform to attack, belittle, or even downplay Deji's mental health as well as the more recent allegations of Deji's alleged sub-botting to which Keem claims Deji is doing and is actively trying to take down his channel. Deji also praised H3 for calling out Keem and stated that Keem deserved it after abusing his platform for so long.
2018 Esports Awards[]
Rather than announcing the correct winner for the award, Deji opted to fake out the audience by first saying the wrong name. “This award goes to… Epic Games!” Deji announced as the representative from Epic walked towards the stage. After letting the moment linger for a few seconds, the YouTube star brought the whole room to a halt by saying, “No I’m joking, I’m joking, It’s a joke, it goes to Blizzard, well done Blizzard.” The Blizzard representatives look a bit confused as they get up and head towards the stage, not knowing what to expect at this point in the night.
Pulling the jebait wasn’t the only thing Deji did on stage, as he also called out Twitch for allowing free streams of his brother KSI’s fight with Logan Paul to happen, “Yo, shoutout to Twitch for illegally streaming our fight, you owe us money! Woo!”[53]
Deji vs KSI Drama[]
Prior to the family drama truly kicking off, a number of events happened in November 2018. Notably a series of diss-tracks between Randolph and Deji. In one of Deji's diss-tracks (released on 26 November 2018), he released a screenshot of KSI's personal bank account to "prove" that KSI paid for Randolph's wedding. KSI posted a reaction video the following day, expressing his disappointment in his mum and dad for allowing Deji to access the bank account.[54]
Christmas Day 2018[]
On 25 December 2018, Deji kicked KSI out of his house. The events were made public on Twitter. Deji claimed that KSI came to fight with Deji and threatened to smash his computer. Deji allegedly locked himself in his office and KSI said he would smash the door and "beat him up". Deji then claimed he asked KSI if he could leave the house or he would call the police. Both Deji and KSI (unbeknownst to each other) were recording the events.
Deji's Explanation[]
On 25 May 2019, Deji created a video simply called "bye". In the video, Deji claimed KSI had been abusive towards him at an alarming rate. Deji alleged that KSI had thrown various objects at him, among other things. Deji went on to tell a story which supposedly occurred in 2015. He said he fell in love with an anonymous girl and recorded various videos with her. However, KSI apparently slept with her, causing Deji major upset and depression. Deji added that KSI has supposedly attempted to "steal" multiple girls that Deji has liked.
He explained that he only made Unforgiven because he was annoyed that KSI wasn't neutral in the situation (instead only being on Randolph's side). Deji also claimed that KSI actually got to hear Randolph's second diss-track in advance and made no effort to stop it being published.
Deji also claimed that Randolph used private footage of KSI and Deji from their chat-log, (which nobody else had access to). Deji says that the allegations that he had slept with underage girls and had left girls pregnant are false. He went on to say that he had supported KSI every-second, even when KSI received sexual assault allegations in 2012.
Deji went on to say that he had had suicidal thoughts about all of the events. He claimed that no one supported or helped him from losing followers. He claimed that he asked KSI to tell people to stop hating on him.
KSI's Explanation[]
After Deji released his video "exposing" his brother, KSI made a response video by the name ending it all.[55] In the whole video, KSI debunks Deji's claims, making his part of the story out in the public. The video is 1 hour long, in which KSI is defending himself and exposing Deji's video as an overrated hoax.
Aftermath[]
After Deji's video got released, both of KSI's channels started losing subscribers. KSI responded on Twitter that he can't wait to make a response to this whole video. Once KSI released his video, the tables turned. Deji started losing subscribers on both accounts, while KSI started gaining them again.
#SaveTank[]
On December 17, 2019, Deji announced his dog, Tank, was going to be put down for biting an elderly neighbor that took place back in July 23, 2018.[56] Deji was fined, while his mother was ordered to pay the victims compensation. After Tank was seized by the police, the court said she did not feel able to take the dog off a lead. She said while most dogs accept a muzzle, she found Tank "was very frightened with the attempts to muzzle him". As well as ordering the destruction of the dog, Deji's mother had to pay £8,000 of compensation to the victim. He also gave her a 12-month community order and 80 hours unpaid work. Deji was fined £2,500, while both were also ordered to pay kennelling costs and given a restraining order from contacting the victims for four years. The Olatunji family had 28 days from Friday to appeal against the decision to destroy the dog. Deji initially denied owning the German Shepherd dog Tank in the September 2019 hearing to avoid punishment.[57][58]
Covid-19 Controversy[]
On April 5th, 2020, Deji uploaded a video titled "I think I have COVID-19",[59] where he informed his fans that he got sick from his parents and he believed that he caught the coronavirus from them. Many fans accused him of click baiting Covid-19 for the sake of views. Deji denied the claims that he click baited the virus for views and how he didn't get tested to prove he had it. His brother KSI called out a YouTuber for clickbait, which people speculated he called out Deji for click baiting the virus. Two days later he uploaded another video titled "I need to end this", where he explained that that he was afraid of getting the virus due to having asthma, and only wanting to make the video to inform his fans. He also addressed the rumors that his brother didn't call him out for click baiting and called out a different YouTuber.
Sub Botting Allegations[]
On May 17th, 2020, a botting site known as FreeWay Social posted a video claiming that Deji has bought 50,000 subscriber bots from them for his YouTube channel in order to reach ten million subscribers. The owner of FreeWay Social claimed that Deji placed two orders from the website, where he bought 10,000 subs on March 22nd and he bought 40,000 subs on March 23rd. The owner claims that Deji has spent almost £2,000 on the website alone. The owner then said that when Deji started losing subscribers, he reported the recent payment to PayPal, believing that the accounts that unsubscribed were FreeWay Social accounts. The owner then explained that he tried to tell Deji that it was actually his own legitimate subscribers that were unsubcribing, but Dejj ignored him and PayPal refunded Deji.
Deji made a response video to the allegations claiming that he never heard of the website, that he never sub botted, and that it wasn't his ip address.
The American YouTuber Keemstar and English YouTuber Kavos made videos showing proof and evidence that Deji most likely sub botted his channel.
John Swan, who has been covering Deji's controversies for months (#SaveTank & Coronavirus Controversy) collaborated with Nicholas DeOrio to a video where they covered most of the drama. They even gave Deji the benefit of the doubt and that he didn't buy any subs, though they listed the conditions.
Nicholas DeOrio: "First things first, someone that really hates Deji would have had to be in possession of a spare $2000. This person would be going into this with no guarantees of getting that money back."
John Swan: "Then they would have to purchase $2,000 worth of YouTube subscribers from a sketchy company using an email linked to one of Deji's obscure real estate properties. Not only this but the person would have to have an account with BT internet and would have had to have completely guessed a recovery email linking to Deji's mum, which just out of pure luck happened to be a real one.
Nick: "This person would not only have to be in the UK but they would also have to be from the same area as Deji as the IP listed in the order could not have come from a VPN. The person also would have had to have had the foresight to register a Skype account using Deji's dad's name just in case someone would have happened to check it.
John: "The person would also need to have the greatest luck in the world because just mere days after hitting 10 million, Deji uploaded his COVID-19 video which backfired on him whereupon he started bleeding subscribers. The person who bought these subscribers would then have to charge back FreewaySocial and would have to predict that they would make a video outing Deji.
Nick: "From here on out, the troll would have had to bet that everyone would connect the dots to the real estate business, the BT Internet recovery email, and even the Skype name. The person who did this amazing troll would have had to have been the most humble person on planet earth because, even though they accomplished arguably the biggest stunt in YouTube history, no one has come forward to take credit for it."
John: "Like if this actually happened, this would be something Justin Wang would cover in a few years in Tales from the Internet. It is just so bizarre and positively absurd that all of this worked out in the way that it did. So you can choose to believe that or you can choose to believe that Deji was so tired of not being at 10 million subscribers that he botted them himself. The choice is yours."
However, John Swan has been recorded lying about large YouTubers (such as Dream) so it's somewhat likely he said this in a very manipulative accusatory manner on purpose. Nick however, has much more credibility.
Dunjahh Drama[]
On January 28, 2022, Deji announced that was forced by himself to broke up with his girlfriend Dunjahh due to controversies involving saying racial remarks to a black person on a E-Date show that went out of order and hard to watch for Deji.[60] Though he revealed that they broke up mutually early in December due to Deji focusing on his YouTube and boxing career and can't have the time for her at all and went separate ways.[61] Dunjahh responded to this situation, but her and Deji's fans did not take the apology as genuine or be taken seriously and took a lot of more backlash afterwards.[62] KSI also very briefly responded to the situation and took it very personal to himself and towards her for dating his brother.[63] She has tried to make many comebacks on her channel until she eventually quit social media, having her videos deleted on her YouTube channel and her social medias deleted as well. This whole drama has since died down and faded into obscurity.
10 Million Subscribers and the eventual 3 Diamond Play Buttons[]
“ | This isn’t just my achievement, this is our achievement. | ” |
―Deji after getting 10 Million Subscribers |
On August 8, 2020, JJ made a Reddit video called "What is my bro doing?"[64], he ended up countering a Reddit post of him achieving 10 million subs with jokingly involving Deji into this with a crying cat thumbs up-ing in the image when in reality, he was still stuck at 9.6 million subs. JJ then decided that he had enough and convinced his viewers to subscribe to Deji to get him on 10 million without any drama or beef involved. Deji would achieve that in less than 7-11 minutes when the video was up.
The next day on August 9, 2020, Deji uploaded a milestone video for the achievement that he has gathered by getting himself 10 million subs, called "WE DID IT"[65], thanking his brother for doing this for him and thanking everyone for subscribing.
It would take him about a month and a half as in September 26, 2020, he uploaded a video called "FINALLY GOT THE DIAMOND PLAY BUTTON!!!!!!!"[66] and recieved his first ever Diamond Play Button with "Deji" written on it, an achievement that he wanted to gather, but was stated that It wasn't his achievement, but also his viewers' achievement aswell.
On October 13, 2020, Deji made a video called "I Got Another Diamond Play Button?".[67] As the title suggests, he would recieve 2 Diamond Play Buttons supposedly out of nowhere as a surprise from YouTube, one with "ComedyShortsGamer" on it and one that has "Deji and ComedyShortsGamer" as a trophy like diamond button, making him own 3 Diamond Play Buttons now.
Cars[]
Deji had an interesting history with cars. Since 2014, he has owned 6 cars:
- 2014 Audi TT S-Line (2014 - 2016)
- 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera S (2015 - present)
- 2016 Range Rover Autobiography (2016 - present)
- 2016 Lamborghini Huracan (2016 - 2017)
- 2017 Lamborghini Aventador S (2017 - present)
- 2018 Mini Clubman (2018 - present)
On September 3, 2016, Deji got into a car accident with his Audi TT, in which he nearly died, along with an old friend of his. He made a video after it had happened, as well as showing the aftermath of the car. He since replaced it with a Range Rover Autobiography for daily driving.
The Porsche is said to mainly be owned and driven by his mum, as indicated by the number plate 'Y1NKE'. The Range Rover is their family car, shared between the members of the house.
Deji got his grey 2016 Lamborghini Huracan wrapped by Yiannimize in a satin gold colour, with white tron lines. But in 2017, his car was vandalised with scratches and paint, and so he got it unwrapped and sold it.
Soon after selling his Huracan, Deji purchased a yellow 2017 Lamborghini Aventador S. Speculations claim he sold his Aventador S after searches of his registration number show no record.
In 2018, Deji bought his dad a 2010 Land Rover Defender, his dad's dream car. He had also bought himself a smaller Mini Clubman for himself to daily drive, as his parents use the Range Rover too.
In December of 2019, Deji's Range Rover broke down in the middle of the road, and his ex-girlfriend was involved.
