= The Sidemen =

The Sidemen are a YouTube group formed on October 19, 2013 which originally consisted of KSI, miniminter, Vikkstar123, TBJZL, Behzinga and Zerkaa with Wroetoshaw joining in 2014.

Early beginnings
In the early days of the group, they recorded GTA V videos where they would create funny moments, Vikkstar123 and Zerkaa have published 748 of them on their channels. When they were not recording together, KSI and Wroetoshaw were well known for their FIFA content, KSI was also well known for his skits like How To Be Better At Football and How To Always Win At FIFA and his music. Wroetoshaw on the other hand made mainly FIFA pack opening videos, which gained him millions of views for his 'over-the-top reactions'. The other boys such as Zerkaa, TBJZL and Vikkstar made FIFA videos, vlogs and Black Ops II videos.

Moving in
KSI, miniminter, Zerkaa and Vikk all moved in together on February 16, 2014 whereas the other Sidemen members resided in a flat in Stratford, London which was Wroetoshaw, TBJZL and Behzinga. KSI joined them in late-2014 when he bought the penthouse there but didn't stay there long to continue living with the others. However, they now live in a new house which they have been living in since late-August 2016. The other members still live in the same flat except Behzinga who decided to move in to his own space in late-October 2017 after taking a break from YouTube for a month.

Events
Here is the list of events they have organised, been a part of or are upcoming:

Sidemen Charity Match (2016, 2017, 2018)

Upload Event (2016, 2017)

KSI v Joe Weller Boxing Match (2018)

KSI v Logan Paul Boxing Match (2018)

Sidemen Beef
There was a war that broke out in 2017 when KSI announced he would be leaving the Sidemen. This turned out to be false at the end of it and the whole beef being fake but there were disstracks from all of them, even Vikk. This gained them tens of millions of views on their channels and people said therefore they were doing these disstracks for the sole purpose of views. ComedyShortsGamer was also involved and he made a disstrack about all the Sidemen, although many people who saw it on YouTube didn't approve of the track. Many YouTubers saw the opportunity to gain views for themselves (even the Sidemen) to react to these disstracks and at the end of miniminter's disstrack to ComedyShortsGamer, it can be seen him reacting to his own disstrack and telling his audience 'Shoutout everyone reacting to this for views, I would too. Especially you Deji, I know you're reacting to this right now'.
