YouTube star KSI has hit back at haters claiming the Sidemen have ‘fallen off’ with their content and popularity.
From hosting charity football matches in sold-out stadiums, to being banned from attending their own restaurant opening due to a massive turnout from fans, it’s fair to say the Sidemen has a tremendous 2023.
For years, they’ve been one of the largest and most popular groups on YouTube, with a staggering 20 million subscribers on their collective channel, and millions more individually.
But, critics have expressed they believe the group is on the decline. However, KSI has fired back at the “haters” — boasting the stats from their recent videos.
KSI hits back at claims the Sidemen have ‘fallen off’
In a post on Twitter/X on January 14, KSI responded to claims that the Sidemen have ‘fallen off’, showing that their latest YouTube video featuring streaming stars AngryGinge and Danny Aarons is performing better than their last 10 uploads so far.
“And to think people said the Sidemen fell off loool,” he wrote. “Back-to-back bangers.”

“Haters keep crying,” he added, along with several ‘shush’ emojis.
It isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Prime co-founder aim at critics this year. On January 8, he fired more shots, saying the haters were “crying” after fellow Sidemen member Zerkaa showed off the stats on their massive Hide & Seek video.
Similarly, the upload was 1/10 on their YouTube’s stats dashboard, and was an obvious hit with fans, amassing a staggering 3.7 million views in just over 17 hours.
Nevertheless, the Sidemen are as big as they’ve ever been. Over the Christmas period, the brand reportedly sold over 45k bottles of their XIX Vodka according to their manager Jordan Schwarzenberger in a now-deleted post.
