With Behzinga and Vikk joining them while W2S joined the group in 2014. Initially the group started with FIFA videos and comedy sketches and soon became famous with their videos gaining thousands of views.
The Sidemen House. Diss Track era and Boxing :
In 2014 the group moved into a mansion called the Sidemen House. It was here they started doing pranks and challenge videos often. 2017-18 was a time when KSI “split” from the Sidemen and the infamous Diss track era.
With different members taking pot-shots at KSI and his brother Deji. What followed this was Youtuber Boxing. It started when KSI dfeated Joe Weller and went on to challenge Logan Paul.
With the first match ending up as a Tie and the rematch being won by KSI in a split decision. Recently, Mike Tyson praised YouTubers like KSI and Logan Paul and said boxing needed more YouTubers.
