Personal Life

DaddyOFive enjoyed a short burst of stardom before controversies erupted regarding the nature of his videos. Soon after making his first YouTube channel, he accumulated quite a healthy fan base owing to his fun family videos that everyone could connect with. He used to post videos of himself and his wife playing pranks on their children in order to make the audience laugh. Initially this tactic worked and he attracted thousands of subscribers to his channel. However, later on, in the wake of some controversies regarding child abuse, he received severe criticism and his videos were either made private or removed from the channel.

The Meteoric Rise to Stardom

In the DaddyOFive channel, Mike and his wife played pranks on their children, which many people did not like due to their “abusive nature”. Viewers and prominent YouTubers started hating their videos and pointed out that the husband-wife team targeted their children simply for money and subscriptions. Recently, Mike lost the custody of two of his children due to some prank videos. Rose Hall, the biological mother of the children obtained emergency custody of them. The children featured in a series of "prank" videos, which people including prominent YouTubers said displayed child abuse.

Controversies & Scandals

DaddyOFive recently posted a video where the parents pranked their children by accusing one child of bad behavior, and then punishing him physically and emotionally for it. The video showed the parents screaming and swearing at the kids. While initially DaddyOFive's creators claimed that the videos showed pranks that were harmless, and that the children enjoyed taking part in them, this video brought widespread condemnation of the DaddyOFive channel. Due to the subsequent developments, the Martin family posted a video on the DaddyOFive channel, apologizing for what they did, and said that they were unaware of the effects of the videos on their children. They also started taking family counseling. All DaddyOFive videos have now been removed from the channel.
