From there, the argument culminated in KSI being ‘thrown out’ of the family. While things seemed to settle down after that, it was all brought up again, when KSI said his birthday had been taken from him and that his brother was making his life hell.
He shared a post on social media saying,
First, it was Christmas that was taken; now it’s my birthday. My brother is literally making my life hell. I talk to him to try and get professional help to help fix our situation, and he refuses. So what can I f***ing do? F*** my birthday. F*** it all.

Is it not normal for siblings to have banter between themselves? I’ve honestly never seen the jokes that we do a big deal. ‘It’s just friendly banter between brothers. I would’ve loved for you to tell me personally how you felt about these videos or the banter between us, he added, addressing his brother. If I knew it was a serious issue for you, I would’ve stopped.
