KSI Pays A Fan's £18,000 University Loans After Losing Simple Bet
KSI stunned a fan with his generosity when he lost a simple bet and paid two years' tuition. Have a look what happened:
Jordan Macmillan met the YouTuber at an event recently and took the opportunity to challenge him to a game of rock, paper, scissors.
But it wasn't just any old game, the 22-year-old decided to raise the stakes, and made KSI – real name 'JJ' Olatunji – a not-so-little wager.

While Jordan put up just £5 of his own money, the rapper promised to pay out £9,000 if he lost.
After agreeing to a game of best of three, Jordan blitzed him, winning the two games consecutively, leaving KSI in a slight state of shock.
But good to his word, he agreed to pay Jordan the money he'd promised, and immediately asked him for his details.
Speaking to the The Sun about the encounter, Jordan said: "It started out as a joke between me and my friends.
"I just said, 'I'm gonna ask him to pay for my tuition if I beat him in rock, paper, scissors as it'll be funny'.

"I thought the worst that could happen is that he say no and we'd have a laugh about it. I never imagined he would actually agree.
"I'm someone who takes everything seriously, except myself, so that helps me stay calm in those situations.
"He is such a nice guy and was really cool about it as well, which eased the nerves too."
However, what happened next stunned Jordan.

Rather than stick with the initial bet of £9,000, KSI doubled his money, paying out for two years of tuition.
Jordan said: "I later got a message from him saying, 'Enjoy it brother', so I checked my account and he send me £18,000 for both years.
"I was absolutely shocked, I couldn't believe it.
"He's such a nice guy so I had no doubt he'd send it but I was so shocked he sent it that quickly.

"It still hasn't settled in yet. I'm not sure it ever will. I sent him a message after to thank him trying to keep my cool but I couldn't.
"I then phoned my family, tears everywhere.
"I still can't believe it, I'll probably invite him to my graduation."
