The Sidemen
In 2013, Minter formed the YouTube group the Sidemen with fellow British YouTubers Olajide Olatunji (KSI), Joshua Bradley (Zerkaa), Vikram Barn (Vikkstar123), Tobi Brown (TBJZL), and Ethan Payne (Behzinga). Harry Lewis (W2S) joined the group in 2014. The Sidemen have five different YouTube channels on which they upload various challenges, sketches, and video game commentaries. They also starred in the YouTube Premium reality stunt series "The Sidemen Show" in 2018. The group's combined total subscribers stands at over 145 million.
Beyond YouTube, Minter and the rest of the Sidemen have been involved in a number of business ventures. In 2014, the group began selling and distributing Sidemen Clothing merchandise, and in the summer of 2023 opened their first brick-and-mortar store in Kent's Bluewater Shopping Centre. The Sidemen also released the book "Sidemen: The Book," which became a bestseller in the UK in 2016. Later, in 2021, the group launched the subscription service Side+, the fried chicken restaurant chain Sides, and the vodka brand XIX Vodka. A few years after that, the Sidemen introduced the Tesco-exclusive cereal brand Best Breakfast, and were the subjects of the Netflix documentary film "The Sidemen Story."
The Sidemen have also been substantially involved in charity. In 2016, they began holding the annual Sidemen Charity Match, an association football friendly match that raises money for various causes. The matches consist of the members of the Sidemen facing off against other YouTubers, who compete as the YouTube Allstars. In the first match, which was held at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton, the Sidemen won 7-2 and raised over £110,000 for the Saints Foundation. Also for charity, the Sidemen released the single "Christmas Drillings," featuring rapper Jme, which raised money for the charity network FareShare in 2022.
Personal Life
In early 2014, Minter moved into a house with three other members of the Sidemen: Vikram Barn, Olajide Olatunji, and Joshua Bradley. This allowed the group to collaborate more regularly. Later, in 2016, Minter moved into a second house with his Sidemen pals, where he lived until early 2019. He subsequently moved into the Centre Point tower in London with Olatunji, residing there for about two years. In 2022, Minter moved in with his fiancé Talia Mar, whom he married the next year.
