As far as music goes, KSI's career began early in his [=YouTube=] days with a series of comedic ''FIFA''-based songs made with his friend, rapper and producer Randolph, before doing guest verses on several songs by British rapper Sway. He released [=EPs=] between 2016 and 2017, transitioning to full-length albums around the end of the 2010s, one of them a full collaborative work with Randolph (''New Age''). As his discography has progressed, he has gotten more serious with his craft, expanded his pop rap/trap sound to work with influences from R&B, synthpop and house, racked up collaborations with established UK and US artists, and [[GrowingTheBeard seen considerable increase in public support of him as a legitimate artist]] as opposed to making "[=YouTuber=] music".

Another prominent career path KSI has taken is into the world of [=YouTube=] boxing, starting with a match he won against fellow British [=YouTuber=] Joe Weller in one of the most watched white-collar matches in boxing history. He subsequently called out and challenged Creator/{{Jake|Paul}} and Creator/LoganPaul, with Logan and Jake agreeing to respectively fight KSI and his younger brother WebVideo/{{Deji}}, also a prominent [=YouTuber=], later that month. The highly-anticipated event occurred on 25 August 2018 in the Manchester Arena, with Logan and KSI coming to a controversial majority draw. A rematch, which was already planned alongside the August 2018 match, was held on 9 November 2019 at the Staples Center. This event was distinctly held as a ''professional'' boxing match, with no headgear and lighter gloves. The fight ended in a split decision in favour of KSI. He has not boxed since, and has made it clear that he is merely on hiatus to focus on his music, and will return when the time is right.

His second channel, now updated far more frequently, currently hosts more fun and informal content; think of it as JJ the regular person, as opposed to KSI the big-name superstar. Recurring content includes ''Try Not to Laugh'' (where he reacts and [[RunningGag almost always fails]] to avoid laughing at funny videos), ''Well, That Was Weird'' (where he reacts to simply [[SurrealHumor bizarre]] videos), and a regular series of him reacting to fanmade content on his [[Website/{{Reddit}} subreddit]].

KSI has also released an autobiography called ''I Am a Bellend'' (or ''I Am a Tool'' [[MarketBasedTitle in the United States]]) that is available in both physical and audiobook versions, and co-starred in a direct-to-video film called ''Laid in America'' alongside fellow [=YouTube=] star [[https://www.youtube.com/user/dicasp Caspar Lee]].

KSI pretty much became the face of the ''VideoGame/{{FIFA|Soccer}}'' fandom in the UK, as UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball is SeriousBusiness for many people there. KSI started gaining popularity after uploading a [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0D0840915CE3E16E 'mini-series']] discussing what was wrong with ''FIFA 11'' and what could be improved in the succeeding edition. Nowadays, he stands as the owner of the biggest [=YouTube=] channel in the United Kingdom, with over 21 million subscribers on his primary channel and over 2 billion views on his videos, with his main claims to fame being [[LargeHam his excessive hamminess]] [[NoIndoorVoice and loudness]].

More content can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/user/KSIOlajidebtHD on his second channel]], which was formerly a ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''-only channel but has now grown to a broader palette of video games, often played with the other members of the WebVideo/{{Sidemen}}, a group of British [=YouTube=] entertainers that JJ is involved in.

However, [[HiddenDepths he doesn't just do videos]]. He also works in the rap industry, initially having guest verses on several songs by British rapper Sway and making a series of songs with his friend Randolph before starting a solo career. He released a five-track EP called ''Keep Up'' on 6 January 2016. Additionally, he has released an autobiography called ''I Am a Bellend'' (or ''I Am a Tool'' [[MarketBasedTitle in the United States]]) that is available in both physical and audiobook versions, and co-starred in a direct-to-video film called ''Laid in America'' alongside fellow [=YouTube=] star [[https://www.youtube.com/user/dicasp Caspar Lee]].

In 2017, he stopped making videos for around 4-5 months, blacking out all of his social media and posting several messages detailing an ArtistDisillusionment he was having with his fame and his status as a "celebrity". He then released the EP ''Space'' as a comeback explaining the reasons for his absence on 30 June 2017, releasing the single [[https://youtu.be/CkUu7GBuxkk "Creature"]] four days prior. On 4 August of that year, KSI announced his departure from the Sidemen group, although later that month he returned to the Sidemen House and eventually the group overall by the following month.

For a time, KSI got into boxing after getting into a beef with fellow British [=YouTuber=] Joe Weller over the "Sidemen War". On 3 February 2018, he fought and won against Weller in a white collar boxing match that was watched by many people on Website/YouTube, becoming one of the most watched white collar matches in boxing history. After winning the match, he called out infamous American [=YouTubers=] Creator/{{Jake|Paul}} and Creator/LoganPaul, challenging them to a boxing match.

Later that month, Logan agreed to fight KSI while Jake agreed to fight JJ's younger brother Deji (also known as WebVideo/ComedyShortsGamer) in an undercard match. The highly-anticipated white collar boxing matches between the Paul brothers and the Olatunji brothers (primarily the main KSI versus Logan Paul match) happened at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England on 25 August 2018. The result was a majority draw.[[note]]KSI still kept the belt but there is no clear winner.[[/note]] A rematch, which was already planned alongside the August 2018 match, was planned to be held at an then-undetermined venue in the United States in February 2019, but it was later announced in September that year to be held on 9 November 2019 (Pacific Time). The rematch, held at Staples Center in Los Angeles on that date, was held as a ''professional'' boxing match; neither party wore headgear. This time around, both KSI and Paul showed better fighting abilities and professionalism than their first match, and their fight ended in a split decision in favour of KSI. He has not boxed since.
