KSI’s return to streaming ended in disaster after the YouTube star’s IP address was leaked merely an hour into the broadcast, causing an abrupt end to the stream.
KSI is a British YouTube star, rapper, and prominent influencer-boxer who boasts over 40 million subscribers across his two channels.
While KSI has transitioned mostly to video content, he used to stream back in the day — but it’s been over a decade since he’s undertaken an official live broadcast.
However, he decided to make a return to streaming for the first time in ten years on February 7… but the stream ended in disaster thanks to a troll.
KSI’s IP address leaked an hour into comeback stream
KSI was an hour into his comeback stream on YouTube when he blurted out an expletive, revealing that his IP address had been leaked by a viewer.
“God dammit,” he groaned. “God dammit, guys. My IP got leaked. I got to end the stream. I’m sorry. I’ll see you lot in a bit.”
“God dammit!” he continued. “You guys always gotta ruin the fun.”

While KSI has yet to publish a statement about the leak on his social media profiles, fans have weighed in on the situation online, with many clearly annoyed that the leak brought an end to a highly-anticipated broadcast from their favorite creator.
“Why did y’all have to leak his IP?” one fan wrote alongside a meme.

“The dude was just trying to have fun with his fans, but some weirdo decides to leak KSIs IP address,” another said. “Man, I hate you motherf*ckers.”
“Only one hour into his first stream and someone leaks KSI’s IP, whoever it was is a pure sad pr*ck,” another wrote.
Despite the leak, KSI went live again on his YouTube channel, joking that he suffered a “few technical issues,” although the initial VOD has since been privated.
This is far from the first time KSI’s information has been leaked against his will. In fact, fellow YouTuber IShowSpeed has accidentally leaked KSI’s phone number on multiple occasions, causing a humorous kerfuffle between the two influencers.
