Famous Birthdays lists him as a FIFA YouTuber born May 3, 2002 in London. His channel, created in December 2016, has more than 4,000 videos and 1.3 billion views, and his Twitch profile calls him a “full time shed streamer.” He is not a member of the Sidemen, but he works around them: his channel has clips of him in Sidemen videos, including “The Sidemen Ask How Danny Got Tennessee”, and he played in the Sidemen Charity Match in April 2026, posting “I SCORED IN THE SIDEMEN CHARITY MATCH!” on April 18.
What happened to Danny Aarons? Why is he famous?
As of November 2026, Danny Aarons is still active, posting new videos most days on YouTube, and the question mostly traces back to a few public moments. He became known for FIFA Ultimate Team pack openings and squad builders. In 2023 he was a housemate on season 4 of Locked In, Footasylum’s YouTube reality show, where he met Tennessee Thresher, per Footasylum’s own episode clip; his clip of their first interaction, posted January 7, 2024, has about 12.7 million views. On August 31, 2024 he made his boxing debut on Misfits X Series 17 against former Leicester City player Danny Simpson, and DAZN reported a split draw, 38-38, 39-37 for Aarons and 39-37 for Simpson. EA has also banned his accounts more than once, which is covered below.
What happened between Danny Aarons and Tennessee? Why is Tennessee with Danny Aarons?
As of November 2026, Danny Aarons and Tennessee Thresher are still together as far as his own channel shows: he posted “Tennessee is the BEST Chef!” on October 28, 2026 and “Tennessee Caught Me” on November 3, 2026. Tennessee is Tennessee Thresher, an influencer he met in 2023 on season 4 of Footasylum’s Locked In, where the two clashed on camera, per the show’s clip “Danny Aarons mocks Tennessee in Locked In jail!” He posted “Danny Aarons & Tennessee Make it Official” on January 6, 2024, and Famous Birthdays notes that he revealed the relationship on Instagram in 2024. He has since called her his fiancée on his channel, in a March 7, 2026 short titled “L fiancée”. We found no report from either of them or an accepted outlet of a split.
Why did Danny Aarons get banned?
Danny Aarons has been banned by EA, the maker of EA Sports FC, not by a streaming platform, and as of November 2026 EA has not explained any of the bans publicly in anything we could find. His own videos date them: “My £25,000 FIFA Account Got Banned...” on December 28, 2022 and “Why I Got BANNED...” the next day, during FIFA 23; “EA Actually Banned My FIFA Account..” on January 14, 2026; and “EA Transfer Banned Me” on October 24, 2026, a ban from the Ultimate Team transfer market. He gives his side in those videos, and we have not verified what he says there line by line, so we do not characterize it. A July 22, 2024 clip on his channel is titled “Danny is Banned From Sidemen Videos”; he has appeared in Sidemen content since, including the April 2026 charity match.
Why does Danny Aarons like Silas? What happened to Danny Aarons’ dog?
Danny Aarons has not given a reason we could quote, but Silas, the forward Silas Katompa Mvumpa, has been a running favourite in his Ultimate Team videos since at least 2021, from “SILAS SQUAD BUILDER SHOWDOWN” to “I FINALLY PACKED SILAS!” in autumn 2026. He told the story himself in “THE ORIGIN OF SILAS”, posted May 19, 2023, which we have not verified line by line. His dog is a separate thing: it appeared in 2023 videos such as “My Dog Decides My FIFA Team!”, posted July 6, 2023. As of November 2026 we found no video from him or report in an accepted outlet saying anything happened to the dog.
Why does Danny Aarons like Adeyemi?
Danny Aarons treats the forward Karim Adeyemi the same way he treats Silas, as a channel favourite he keeps building squads around, and as of November 2026 the bit is still running. His channel has “Karim ‘The Dream’ Adeyemi” from about 2022, “THE ORIGIN OF ADEYEMI”, posted June 22, 2023, where he tells the story himself, and a clip titled “Adeyemi Messaged Me Live on Stream!”. We have not verified what he says in the origin video line by line, so we do not summarize it.
What happened to Danny Aarons’ knee?
Danny Aarons has not posted about a knee injury in anything we could find, as of November 2026. The injuries he has talked about on his channel came around his boxing debut: “Angry Ginge Gave Me a Black Eye..”, posted August 21, 2024, ten days before the fight, and “Danny Simpson Injured Me”, posted September 11, 2024, after it. The only knee in his recent titles is a short called “Rate The Knee Slide”. If he discusses a knee injury on the record, this entry will add it.

Not something we cover.
Who represents Danny Aarons?
As of November 2026, no agent or manager is named publicly for Danny Aarons that we could find; his video descriptions list sponsor links but no management contact. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking what happened with Tennessee and why EA banned him, and most of the answer is on his own channel. If that changes, this entry will say so.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with Danny Aarons. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. Daily Ultimate Team content built on running bits: pack openings, squad builders and a cast of favourite players, Silas and Adeyemi above all, that his audience follows like characters. Since Locked In, the same channel carries a second show, short clips of life with Tennessee, and the biggest of those have far outdrawn the game videos.
Why it travels. The relationship clips travel furthest: his clip of their first Locked In interaction sits at about 12.7 million views, far above a typical pack opening. Boxing, Sidemen appearances and EA ban stories each send a new crowd searching his name, and his shorts channel catches them.
Brand fit. Football and gaming products first: controller accessories, football apps and Ultimate Team tools already sit in his video descriptions. The Tennessee clips open lifestyle and couples formats for a young UK audience. Brands should know his EA bans are part of the public story, so anything tied directly to EA Sports FC needs that conversation up front.
