KSI, an English professional boxer and musician, recently released a song titled Thick of It in collaboration with American rapper Trippie Redd, to which fellow wrestler and internet personality Jake Paul reacted sarcastically.
Recently, on October 4, 2024, Jake Paul dissed KSI for his newest single, taking to Twitter, writing,
Thank you, KSI, you hero🙏🏼 my 83-year-old grandpa hasn’t been able to walk in years. But when you released this song…he finally stood up and turned this shit off

KSI then didn’t even take half an hour to fire back at Jake. He soon retweeted,
looks like you’ve got your next opponent lined up then…
Well, it’s known that KSI and Jake Paul have been each other’s rivals for years. Jake, in fact, has even offered KSI a fight multiple times, which KSI has postponed repeatedly.
Back on June 22, 2024, Jake reflected on his offer to KSI on Twitter, writing,
KSI’s coach saying he is over 200lbs right now? So no weight excuses…

Let’s run it for July 20th and then Paul Tyson in October / November
In response, KSI challenged Jake to fight with him in December, mentioning that he was already busy with his schedule.
But, contrary to his own statement, KSI doesn’t intend to fight with Jake. During his appearance in the latest episode of Paul’s podcast Impaulsive, when asked if he would box Jake in the future, he instantly said no.
