As KSI became more famous, controversies seemed followed him at the same pace. Among the myriad questions fans have, one that often stirs curiosity is none other than KSI's height.
How tall is KSI?
KSI has garnered a considerable following, thanks to his captivating video game commentary and his music, which have been the driving forces behind his popularity. However, his foray into the world of boxing added an extra layer of excitement to his journey, attracting fans from the boxing realm and further expanding his already dynamic fanbase.
Celebrity Heights reported that KSI is 5ft 11 inches (180.34 cm) tall and weighed 171lbs. During an episode of a podcast, he confidently claimed he was 5ft 11 inches.
Interestingly, a subsequent measurement hinted that he may be slightly shorter than that.
However, KSI has, on several occasions, proclaimed that he was 6ft tall (182.8 cm). This claim has left fans curious about KSI's actual height.
A Reddit post once raised the intriguing query of why KSI wore large oversized shoes, setting off a heated debate where some accused him of stretching the truth regarding his actual height.
A wave of frustration swept through the users who believed KSI was withholding the truth about his actual height.
This sense of uncertainty sparked a cascade of speculations among fans, all asking the same burning question, "How tall is KSI in feet?"
In a reaction to the question about his shoes, a user chimed in with, "Because he is always self conscious about sizes and lies about them constantly. He lied about his height, his shoe size and probably his p***s. He seems very insecure about his masculinity."
In a brief video that has been making rounds on YouTube, KSI was captured reacting to a TikTok user's attempt to calculate his height, which ranged from an initial claim of 5ft 7.3 inches (170.9 cm) to a staggering 6ft 2 inches (187.9 cm). KSI was taken aback by these computations and refuted their accuracy.
However, the video came to a turning point occurred when the TikTok user asserted that being 5ft 11 inches (180.34 cm) was equivalent to being 6ft (182.8 cm) tall, to which KSI concurred, explaining that this was precisely why he had been consistently stating his height in feet as 6ft.
This exchange stirred up strong reactions, drawing a flurry of comments from viewers who expressed their opinions on the matter.
One user penned, "He’s trying to look confused. In his head he’s like ah s**t they got me." Another user wrote, "'How did u gain so much f*****g height?' same question goes to you jj."
A third chimed in with, "Ksi ain't even 5'11 pretty sure he's 5'10 bare foot." Another user commented, "Jjs ego wants to be 6ft."
Is KSI taller than Jake Paul?
YouTuber Zubair conducted a comparison between the height of KSI's height and that of Jake Paul. During the fight between KSI and Paul, Zubair observed that Paul was wearing regular flat shoes, while KSI enjoyed an additional advantage due to his hairstyle and the fact that he was wearing thick trainers.
From certain angles, they appeared to be of similar height, though other viewpoints revealed slight differences. Overall, KSI might appear slightly taller, yet in Zubair's view, if he were to determine the taller of the two, it would undoubtedly be Paul. This conclusion is supported by BoxRec, which indicated that Paul was 6ft 1 inch (185.4 cm) tall.
According to Zubair, KSI's height doesn't actually reach 6ft, and it falls short of even 5ft 11 inches, as per his assessment. In the initial part of his video, he made a comparison between KSI's actual height and Paul's.
Zubair mentioned that he possessed a picture capturing the KSI versus Paul fight. In the image, the top of Logan's head is visible, although he was wearing a hat, which Zubair considered somewhat unfair. Nonetheless, there seems to be a difference of nearly three inches between them.
While some angles suggested a difference of around two-and-a-half inches, the general estimate appears to be about three inches between Logan and KSI, who were barefoot in the picture.
This visual analysis seems quite accurate to Zubair, as Paul's height was recorded to be approximately 6ft 1.5 inches (186.6 cm).
Is KSI 6ft tall?
The veil shrouding the truth about KSI's real height was finally lifted during an episode of the Sidemen channel's podcast, with British rapper Aitch as the guest. The host introduced a measuring tape into the equation, seeking to draw a direct comparison between KSI's height in feet and that of Aitch.
The host articulated his intention to measure Aitch's height, considering KSI's claim of being 6ft tall, thereby necessitating a thorough comparison. Aitch readily consented to this intriguing experiment, aligning himself for measurement.
As the podcast host extended the measuring tape, Aitch was revealed to be 6ft 1 inch tall. The spotlight then shifted to KSI, who appeared visibly anxious as his own height was about to be measured.
Swiftly, KSI interjected, urging the host to account for his hair in the measurement. After using the measuring tape, Aitch declared that KSI's genuine height was slightly shy of 5ft 11 inches, marking a fascinating conclusion to the height debate.
