Birth Place

Deji Olatunji has been influenced a lot by his older brother JJ's YouTube success. The two boys have a healthy sibling rivalry and Deji, confident that he can achieve what his brother has achieved, started his own YouTube channel in 2011. Like his brother, who started his YouTube career with gaming videos, Deji also entered the YouTube scene with short funny videos on games like Halo 3, Tekken 6, Modern Warfare 3 and FIFA 12. However, during the initial days, he got much exposure for appearing on his brother's videos rather than his own uploads. Nevertheless, following JJ, he soon started to upload different types of videos on his channel, including vlogs, skits, challenges and pranks. Many of his videos featured failed pranks with his father, which quickly gained popularity and helped his channel to grow faster. He eventually hit the 1 million subscriber mark in 2013.

The Meteoric Rise To Stardom

Deji Olatunji's fame on the internet is something he has worked hard to achieve. He puts an enormous amount of time to keep his followers entertained on a regular basis. He has a very similar taste when compared to his brother JJ and posts humorous videos on similar topics. However, in an effort to build his own identity, he has added to his channel a number of different videos like comedic Q&A series, pranks involving his parents and vlogs. He has maintained his own uniqueness in his videos, be it through more yelling, more weirdness or a lot more offensive mom-jokes. He has even taken part in "deadly" challenges that caused him physical pain and discomfort, like the "Do Not Do Challenge" or the hot sauce challenge.

What Makes Deji Olatunji So Special

While gaining even 1 million subscribers on YouTube is a huge feat, Deji Olatunji has managed to gain over 7 million subscribers. In spite of that, haters often mention that much of his fame is due to the fact that his brother is a much bigger internet celebrity and that Deji is riding on his brother's fame. However, both he and his brother often make it clear through their collaborative videos that they do not mind growing together and helping each other out. Indeed, they both have grown quite a lot as both of them now own Lamborghinis. They even posted a Lamborghini race video on both of their channels. Unfortunately, Deji's old Audi TT had met a tragic accident when the young YouTuber lost control of the car and smashed it. He got injured very badly and received nine stitches on his arm. According to doctors, the accident could have been fatal if he was driving a less sturdy car.
