Early life

Career

His content revolved around FIFA videos, playing football, as well as challenges and vlogs.

A month later, a Rockstar Games Social Club with himself, KSI, and other British YouTubers was created on October 19, 2013 in Grand Theft Auto Online, known at the time as Ultimate Sidemen (which would eventually be shortened to Sidemen). By 2014, the group consisted of seven members being himself, KSI, Vikkstar123, W2S, Zerkaa, TBJZL, and Behzinga, and they had begun collaborating more often.
In 2016, Minter and members of the Sidemen created the Upload YouTube influencer event, hosting their viewers with other content creators. The second and last of these events took place in September 2017.[5]
