I have a girlfriend and she’s very private, we keep things quiet," the rapper explained. “Whenever I spend time with her, it’s all about her.
Even with my family, I like to do things privately and it’s just making sure that whenever I need to be out in the public eye, I do that and whenever I need to be private, I keep things private and separate." He went on to add that he sees himself as a "normal guy", saying: “Friends and family, they all just ground me.They always make fun of me, they always tell me ‘You might be doing this, but you're still just a normal guy’… I see myself as a normal guy, who has been thrown into these crazy situations.” KSI, who kickstarted his career on YouTube, also spoke about his boxing career ahead of his fight against Tommy Fury which is set to take place in Manchester in October.
