School Friends and FIFA
Minter grew up in Hemel Hempstead and went to Berkhamsted School, where he first met KSI. He briefly studied criminology at the University of Hull before leaving to do YouTube full time, and his FIFA, football, and challenge videos took his channel past one million subscribers by 2014 and ten million by 2022.
