YouTube star Deji discusses his feud with brother KSI

A feud between two brothers who are among YouTube's biggest stars has become even more bitter after one posted an expletive-laden tirade.

KSI and Deji – who once made videos together that counted among the most popular on the site – have been locked in an ongoing and very public argument over their treatment of each other for months.

Both say they have mistreated and misrepresented each other through their career. The accusations have been made in a series of YouTube videos, during which they have responded to each other in increasingly dramatic terms.

The latest flare-up began when Deji posted a video accusing his brother of having treated him cruelly as the pair began making videos. That video included footage that Deji claimed was evidence of the fact that KSI had attacked and hurt him in videos they made, as well as a range of other accusations.

KSI then posted a response video in which he rejected many of the allegations that had been made. While he apologised for his behaviour in some instances, he suggested that the videos had been misleadingly edited to make his behaviour look worse than it was.

Deji then posted yet another response. Titled "i cant do this anymore" and including a thumbnail of the YouTube star crying, he continued to post personal details about his brother and make allegations him.

Now KSI has responded to that video once more, pointing out that the video had come out just before his birthday and suggesting that the feud is far from over. He also pointed out that the pair had rowed at Christmas in 2018.

"First it was Christmas that was taken, now it’s my birthday," he wrote on Twitter. "My brother is literally making my life hell.

"I talk to him to try and get professional help to help fix our situation and he refuses, So what can I f***ing do? F*** my birthday. F*** it all."

The feud between the brothers comes as KSI and Logan Paul continue to try and organise a rematch of the boxing match between the two that was hailed as the biggest event in internet history. In that original event, KSI and Deji had appeared together, with Deji facing off against Logan Paul's brother Jake.
