The news was not well-received from some angry Twitter users.
KSI responded with a number of early morning tweets detailing how hard he has been working, and how little rest he is getting.
Forgot to add making music, side plus, Amazon Doc, and filming for other YT channels.
If you looked at my calendar this year, you would be sick. It’s ridiculous how much I do. I know it’s mental but sometimes I hoped to get covid, just so I can get a 2 week break quarantining.

In a following tweet, he emphasised his stress by writing that he even hoped he would catch Covid, so he “can get a 2 week break quarantining.”
So what do I do? What can I do? I’ve made this mess because I enjoy doing so many things and I just wanna do it all. So there’s really nothing I can do expect keep going and try to manage my time better, probably start to say no to more things etc.
So sorry if you’re angry.

The rapper shares that he doesn’t have time to see his family or his girlfriend.
Like I said, I’m my own worst enemy. Don’t even have time to see my family. Don’t even have time to see my girlfriend, I’m a workaholic and I just work work work till my body physically shuts down.
Don’t worry about me anyway, ill use this as a learning curve
