YouTube Gaming streamer Ludwig Ahgren recently expressed his frustration with Olajide “JJ” Olatunji, better known as KSI, following an incident during a video shoot for Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson. During his June 14, 2024, livestream, Ludwig addressed his fans’ queries about KSI’s video, in which the professional boxer and YouTuber accused Ludwig of being “annoying” and getting “under his skin.”
KSI had said in his video:
“Ludwig, he was fking annoying! Don’t get me wrong – he’s a funny guy, but fk me! He was getting under my skin. I didn’t show it, but he was pi**ing me off.”
In response, Ludwig provided context for the altercation. He claimed that KSI was being a “son of a b**ch” during the event. Ludwig explained that he couldn’t divulge specific details about the shoot but hinted that it involved a group of YouTubers who were confined together for an extended period.
Ludwig elaborated:
“I know exactly why he said this. I’m not allowed to leak what happened at the shoot. But you guys get the idea there were a bunch of YouTubers, who were all trapped together. Right? And, hold up! Pause! Foul on the play… KSI was being, how we call ’em in America, a son of a bch. He was being a damn son of a b
According to Ludwig, KSI’s behavior was particularly problematic during the early hours of the shoot when little was happening, and some participants, including Ludwig, tried to catch some sleep. KSI reportedly disrupted their rest by yelling loudly in their ears to wake them up.
Ludwig recounted:
“Because early on, for the first few hours, we didn’t do anything. We were just kind of, like, chilling. Right? Everyone was chilling, and a couple of people would fall asleep. Right? While people would sleep, KSI would go up to them sleeping, and then would yell in their ears to wake them up. He’d go, ‘Hey!’ And then wake them up mid-sleep.”
This behavior, Ludwig said, caused him significant stress:
“And I was one of the people who was sleeping, and I was stressed. This guy was stressing me out! Right? Because he was on demon mode.”
Ludwig then explained why KSI called him “annoying.” During a challenge at the shoot, Ludwig admitted to being loud and “chirping,” which likely exacerbated KSI’s frustration.
Ludwig clarified:
“I can’t leak. But KSI was in a challenge… and I was loud. I would say, KSI was in a challenge, and I was chirping. I was talking, I was a loud guy. I was a loud guy!”
This incident highlights the intense and sometimes contentious dynamics that can arise during collaborative content creation, especially among high-profile personalities like Ludwig and KSI. While both are known for their humor and larger-than-life personas, their clash during MrBeast’s video shoot reveals the underlying tensions that can surface in high-stakes, high-pressure environments.
