KSI, the British influencer, boxer, and musician, continues to remain a dominant figure in entertainment. In music, KSI released a double-single, “Catch Me If You Can” and “So Far Away” (featuring S-X), on May 30, 2025. “Catch Me If You Can” has been praised for its versatile rap style and energetic delivery[5]. The official music video, directed by Troy Roscoe, is a sci-fi spectacle featuring futuristic visuals and extensive VFX, with the director calling it “maybe my favourite video to date”[6].
KSI’s previous single, “Dirty,” released in December 2024, received positive feedback, contrasting the negative response to his earlier track “Thick of It” (featuring Trippie Redd). Despite the backlash, KSI addressed criticism of “Thick of It” humorously in a trending YouTube video where he reacted to TikTok jokes about the single[1][2]. Notably, “Thick of It” was still nominated for Song of the Year at The BRIT Awards 2025[1].
Beyond music, KSI has been active in the boxing scene. After rumors of a bout with Amir Khan in mid-2024, KSI ultimately planned a unique 2 vs. 1 match against Slim Albaher and Anthony Taylor. However, he withdrew from the bout in August 2024 due to injury[1]. Recently, KSI announced he is set to undergo hand surgery in November 2025, targeting a ring return around June 2026[4].
Off the performance stage, KSI has achieved notable recognition. In November 2024, he received the BRIT Billion Award for surpassing one billion music streams in the UK[1]. Additionally, a viral photo saw KSI meeting with US rapper 50 Cent in December 2024 alongside fellow creator Chunkz, sparking social media buzz[8].
