Career
Tydus first appeared on YouTube when he was two years old – his parents started a YouTube channel in 2014 but they began uploading videos regularly only in 2016. Tydus’ first video showed him snowboarding when he was only 12 months old. Later on, Corey and Travis started vlogging and uploading content on YouTube regularly, frequently including Tydus in their videos, then as the child grew older, his father started featuring him in prank videos.
Talbott’s fame skyrocketed when he impersonated a professional boxer and fellow YouTuber Jake Paul in 2017 in the video entitled “3 Year Old Jake Paul!! (RARE FOOTAGE)”. Not only did it captivate the channel’s audience, but it also caught Jake’s attention; the video has almost 10 million views. Later, Jake met Tydus in real life, with his parents capturing the moment in a video that has over seven million views. Since then, Tydus was nicknamed Mini Jake Paul, and has filmed multiple videos with Jake, and regularly attends his boxing matches.
Jake Paul became famous when he started posting videos on Vine in 2013. He launched a YouTube channel in 2014, and started sharing pranks and music videos. Throughout his career, he’s faced multiple controversies, including racist and inappropriate behavior, and sexual assault allegations. He also had partnerships with questionable companies, and was accused of scamming people. His Covid19 claims and disregard for restrictions showed him in a negative light as well, however, he still remains popular with over 20 million subscribers on YouTube. He began his professional boxing career in 2019, facing opponents such as Askren, Woodley, and Silva.
In 2019, when Tydus was five years old, he started making music videos that were mainly shared on his parents’ YouTube channel – his first song “Ice Cream” has more than 48 million views, becoming the most popular track in his library.
