KSI has announced that he has bought a stake in non-League side Dagenham and Redbridge with the aim of taking them to the Premier League. The YouTube star-turned-rapper, boxer, Britain's Got Talent judge and multiple business owner made the sensational announcement on Tuesday afternoon with a three-minute video filmed at the club's Victoria Road stadium. 'I want to tell the world something big is going to happen,' he said. 'I've done boxing, music, YouTube content, I've done TV stuff, I've been around the world, done tours. I'm a man that does whatever I want. You can't ever stop wanting more. I am buying Dagenham and Redbridge Football Club.' The east London outfit were only formed in 1992 and competed in League One in the 2010-11 campaign, but have slid down the divisions in recent years and now play in the National League South. They are, however, looking to get things back on track, with former England striker Andy Carroll - who plays for the team - also becoming a shareholder after the club were taken over by US investors Happy Fan Group in February. 'Years ago, I saw the excitement, the happiness, the joy,' KSI, whose real name is Olajide Olatunji, continued. 'I want to bring that back and then surpass it. 'I want the place to be pumping. I want the place to be rocking. I want it to be an event whenever you come here.' The 32-year-old, who is a boyhood Arsenal fan and co-owns Prime Hydration with WWE wrestler and internet star Logan Paul, added that 'playing a video game and owning a football club is very different'. #ksi #dagenhamandredbridge #football #soccer #sport
