KSI has finally spoken about his decision to step away from the Sidemen, a move that surprised many fans and quickly sparked speculation online. As one of the group’s most well-known members, people naturally wondered whether something had happened behind the scenes.
According to KSI, however, the decision had nothing to do with drama and everything to do with his own life.
Why Did KSI Decide To Leave The Sidemen?
KSI explained that there was no fallout, argument, or issue within the group. Instead, he said the decision came after years of constantly pushing himself across multiple projects.
Between YouTube, music, boxing, business ventures, and Sidemen commitments, he felt like he was always moving from one thing to the next. Describing his lifestyle as running at “100 miles an hour,” KSI admitted that he eventually reached a point where he needed to slow down and think about what was best for him personally.
How Did His Personal Life Influence The Decision?
One of the biggest reasons behind the decision was the lack of balance in his life.
KSI shared that while he was focused on work and building different projects, he started realizing he wasn’t spending enough time on himself or with the people closest to him. His busy schedule often left little room for family, his partner, and even simple personal downtime.
Over time, that feeling became harder to ignore, making him rethink how he wanted to spend his time moving forward.

Why Did He Feel Leaving Was The Right Thing To Do?
KSI also said that the Sidemen deserve members who can fully commit to the group.
As his responsibilities continued to grow, he no longer felt he could give the Sidemen the time and energy they deserved. Rather than staying and contributing less than his best, he felt it was more honest to step away.
For him, it wasn’t about wanting to leave the group; it was about recognizing that he could no longer give 100 percent.
What Does KSI Want To Focus On Now?
While KSI admitted that leaving the Sidemen was a difficult and emotional choice, he believes it is the right one.
For now, he wants to focus more on his health, personal well-being, family, and relationships. Rather than constantly chasing the next project, he hopes to create more balance in his life and spend time on the things that matter outside of work.
Although fans may be sad to see this chapter come to an end, KSI made it clear that the decision was about taking care of himself, not walking away from the people around him.
