Discord.js block users with an ID from using certain commands

I'm trying to make it when someone's user ID matches with a variable then it'll react with ⛔. This is working for all of my other commands but whenever I use it for this one it reacts with it but then let's them run the command. Any ideas? Also sometimes the message is sent twice.

client.on('message', async message => {
    // Check if the user who sent the message is in the list 
    if ((message.author.id) === bannedid) {
        // If user is in list, then check if message matches a command
             if (message.content === 'hi') {
           await message.react('⛔');
             } 
        } else if (message.content === 'hi') {
           himessage(message);

            function himessage(message) {
                var messages = ['hi uwu', 'owo', 'no', 'stinky', 'amongus', 'The FitnessGram PACER Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues.

                var cheese = Math.floor(Math.random() * messages.length)

                message.channel.send(messages[cheese]);
        }
    }
});

EDIT:

To answer your problem, the reason why your code keeps running is because your if(message.content === 'hi') and else if(message.content === 'hi') will both return true.

To prevent that, you can stop the code execution after reacting:

return message.react('⛔');

or modify your else if statement:

else if((message.author.id) != bannedid && message.content === 'hi') {
// your code here.
}

This here was my original comment, where I mistakenly understood that your code wasn't working, I will let it here as it is still a viable way of doing it:

Assuming bannedid is an Array of IDs, you can use Array.prototype.some() to check all the elements of the array.

if(bannedid.some(element => message.author.id === element) && message.content === 'hi') {
// use return here so that the code will stop executing after reacting with the emoji.
return message.react('⛔');
} else {
// rest of your code
