Family is a large part of Deji’s career.

He states his brother as being his inspiration to begin on YouTube.

His father and brother frequently appeared in his earlier videos, with several pranks or parody videos featuring the trio.

Deji’s mom has also appeared in his videos, including some “challenge” videos like an “Eye tracker challenge” and a “Mum Vs Son” challenge to see who knew his father best.

Deji has dropped a number of rap songs and diss tracks on his YouTube and Spotify.

The earliest of these was an August 2017 diss track directed at Sidemen, a YouTuber group that produces similar content to Deji.

Deji frequently collaborates with musician Jallow.

He was defeated by Paul.

He later participated in a “YouTubers versus TikTok” event, where he fought against Vinnie Hacker.

He was defeated 2-1 in that match on June 12, 2021. 

Deji announced a social media hiatus after that defeat to “work on himself.”

In December 2020, Deji opened up about his struggles with mental health and his relationship with his brother.

Romantic Relationships

Deji frequently features his significant others in his YouTube videos.

He featured Claira Hermet in a July 25, 2014, video entitled “Try Not To Laugh Challenge With My Girlfriend.”

Hermet is a 1Extra radio DJ, BBC radio presenter, and a self-billed personal development coach also based in the U.K. 

Less than six months later, Deji posted another “Try Not To Laugh Challenge,” this time with London YouTuber Marina Joyce, billed as his “new girlfriend.”

Joyce, now 24 years old, is known for her beauty tutorials and vlogs. Joyce also starred in a “Never Have I Ever” challenge on Deji’s channel.

When Joyce went missing in 2019, Deji posted a video asking for his followers’ help to find her.

Police found Joyce ten days after she was declared to be missing.

In 2015, Yasmin Zbari appeared in some of Deji’s videos, including “CROSSBAR CHALLENGE WITH MY GIRLFRIEND” and “Girlfriend Does Lie Detector Test.” They reportedly broke up in 2016. Zbari is a Moroccan-born British YouTube star.

Olivia Boo Rolland starred in two videos on Deji’s channel in 2017, “WORST PUNISHMENT EVER” and “READING YOUR DUMBEST DMS,” leading fans to believe they were dating.

These rumors were neither confirmed nor denied.

Rolland describes herself, presumably ironically, on Instagram as a “Government official.”

On August 17, 2019, Deji posted a video called “Are We Dating?” with Dounja Akoudad. The video confirmed what many fans had already guessed – that the pair was, in fact, a couple.

Akoudad, who goes by “Dunjahh” online, is a Belgian vlogger and streamer who, like Deji, frequently produces prank and challenge videos.

Deji and Dunjahh met playing Runescape online in 2009 and kept in contact over the years.

They most recently made a video together in February of 2021, playing Assassin’s Creed.

In early 2022, it was revealed that Deji and Dunjahh have split about a month before she was accused of making racist comments during a stream.

In one of his many YouTube videos, Deji reveals that he is also the owner of several rental properties, which bring in income for him.

Deji’s acting pursuits have extended past YouTube as well. He was cast in the British direct-to-video comedy film Laid in America in 2016. The movie starred KSI, his brother, and other British and South African YouTube personalities.

Another stream of income of the YouTube star is boxing. Deji reportedly earned $1.5 million from his match with Floyd Mayweather Jr, plus 20 percent of PPV shares.
