So, the other day I was digging into this guy, Jide Olatunji. You might know him better as KSI’s dad. I mean, this dude pops up all over YouTube, mostly behind the camera for his sons KSI and Deji. That got me curious, what’s his story?
First off, I started with the basics. When was he born? Where is he from? Turns out, Jide Olatunji was born on August 28, 1966, in Ibadan, Nigeria. I thought, “Okay, Nigeria, interesting,” and kept digging.
Then, I moved on to his family. It’s pretty well-known that he’s the father of Olajide Olatunji, AKA KSI, and Deji Olatunji, both big names on YouTube. I jotted that down and looked for more personal details. What was his early life like? What did he do before the whole YouTube family fame?
I found out that his full name is Olajide Olatunji Sr. which, I guess, makes KSI Olajide Olatunji Jr. He seemed to be a pretty private guy before his sons became famous. Mostly, I found mentions of him being born in Nigeria and not much else about his early career or anything.

August 28, 1966. That makes him 58 years old as of today.
Ibadan, Nigeria. A big city, from what I understand.
Father to KSI and Deji. That’s the main thing he’s known for.
Honestly, there wasn’t a ton of detailed information about his early life or what he did before his sons started making videos. It seems like he stepped into the public eye mostly because of KSI and Deji’s YouTube careers. Still, I pieced together a basic timeline, starting from his birth in Nigeria to becoming a known figure in the YouTube world, primarily as a supportive dad and sometimes cameraman.
This whole search didn’t turn up any juicy secrets or anything, but it did give me a better picture of who Jide Olatunji is. Just a regular guy from Nigeria who became known because his sons are internet stars. It’s a pretty cool story, in a way. It shows how the internet can bring anyone into the spotlight, even if it’s just by association.
So yeah, that’s what I found out about Jide Olatunji. It wasn’t the most thrilling adventure, but it was interesting to see the person behind the “KSI’s dad” label. Sometimes, the most ordinary stories are the most fascinating, right?
