Sam Pepper is a well-known figure in the content creation and livestreaming sphere. His popularity skyrocketed in the era of pranking videos on YouTube. However, many consider the Ashford, England native to be a contentious personality, as he received widespread criticism in 2015 for uploading a video of him "kidnapping" a teenager and pranking them by "killing" their friend.
In addition to this, Pepper found himself in hot water in 2021 for promoting the highly controversial Save The Kids cryptocurrency project.
Following a hiatus, the Briton returned to the internet in 2023, frequently collaborating with Paul "Ice Poseidon" and other prominent Kick streamers.
