KSI, the popular YouTube star and boxer from the United Kingdom, responded to a recent video clip in which fellow YouTuber Darren "IShowSpeed" comically talks about his forehead while seemingly in a sedated state in a hospital bed. For context, Darren is currently hospitalized in Japan after suffering from a sinus infection, resulting in him undergoing various degrees of treatment.

However, today (July 31), there have been some positive updates regarding his health. Darren posted a video on YouTube talking about his condition. While he is out of any immediate danger, he will still be required to remain at the hospital. In the video, however, he made sure to take a poke at JJ's expense. Reacting to the video, KSI said:

"Even in his worst state, he’s still found the energy to talk about my damn forehead. Praying for you bro."

"I'm still currently in the hospital. I don't know what the hell is all of these. This is some Tokyo, Japanese, Tokyo Ghoul, Avengers, One Piece stuff. I'm hospitalized. I really just wanna go home and stream for y'all."

He also gave a brief overview of his present condition, stating that parts of his head and his right eye are in pain. He said:
