Questions people ask
Who is King Kenny? Why is King Kenny famous?
King Kenny is a British YouTuber, crossover boxer and one of the five members of Beta Squad, the London group he films with alongside Chunkz, Niko Omilana, Sharky and AJ Shabeel. Famous Birthdays says he built his KingKennyTv channel on pranks and commentary after an earlier channel, KenDaKid, was taken down for copyright, joined Beta Squad in 2019 and began boxing in 2021. He has fought on Showstar, Misfits and DAZN cards, and in October 2026 he reached a wider UK audience as a traitor on The Celebrity Traitors on BBC One. He is not Kenny Dalglish, the Liverpool footballer who is also nicknamed King Kenny.
Why was King Kenny kicked out of Beta Squad? Why was King Kenny removed from Beta Squad?
King Kenny was not kicked out of Beta Squad: as of November 2026 he is still a member, in anything we could source. Beta Squad’s own uploads list him with the other four, from the BETA SQUAD MUKBANG of October 10, 2026, in which, per its description, the group discusses the upcoming Season 5, to 6 Jamaicans vs 1 Secret British Person on October 31, 2026, whose description reads “Kenny: @KingKennyTV” under “Subscribe to everyone!” We found no report in an accepted outlet that he was removed, and he has not posted a goodbye video. Beta Squad now releases its videos in seasons, with breaks between them, so the group channel can go quiet for weeks.
What happened to King Kenny? What happened to KingKennyTv?
As of November 2026, the biggest recent news about King Kenny is The Celebrity Traitors: he played a traitor on the BBC One series and was banished in the final on October 30, 2026, per the Irish Examiner. The next question has the details. His own channel, KingKennyTv, posts far less often than the group: Social Blade shows 123 videos and about 2.25 million subscribers, with no new upload between September 25 and October 8, 2026. Most of his video work now appears on the Beta Squad channel.
Is King Kenny on Traitors?
Yes, King Kenny was a contestant on the 2026 series of The Celebrity Traitors on BBC One, and he played as a traitor. ITV News reported on October 29, 2026 that he was a traitor alongside Maya Jama and James Acaster, that the traitors had given him a dagger for a double vote at the roundtable, and that he held the deciding vote going into the penultimate episode. In the final on October 30, 2026, the Irish Examiner reported, a vote split two to two between him and James Blunt, and Romesh Ranganathan and Sebastian Croft voted again and banished Kenny. Ranganathan and Croft won as faithfuls.
Why did King Kenny go to jail?
We found no report in a major news outlet that King Kenny has been jailed, and he has not said he was. What is public: prison is a setting Beta Squad has filmed in for content, in group videos such as LAST TO LEAVE THE PRISON and TRAPPED IN PRISON.
Why did King Kenny’s fight get overturned?
King Kenny’s March 2022 win over FaZe Clan’s Temperrr was overturned after an appeal. Per Dot Esports, Kenny beat Thomas “Temperrr” Oliveira by split decision on Showstar’s UK vs USA card; Temperrr filed an official appeal, and the Professional Boxing Association reversed the decision. The same outlet reported that in his next fight, on August 27, 2022 on the KSI vs Swarmz card, Kenny was declared the winner over FaZe Sensei by majority decision, a result FaZe Clan called “rigged,” and that Kenny tweeted he felt “another overturn incoming.” We found no report that the Sensei result was changed.
Is King Kenny a professional boxer? Is King Kenny a good boxer?
King Kenny is a crossover boxer: as of November 2026 he has fought other creators on influencer cards rather than building a career on the traditional professional circuit. His record that we could source is mixed. He beat Temperrr in March 2022, a result the Professional Boxing Association later reversed, and was given a majority decision over FaZe Sensei in August 2022, per Dot Esports. On July 15, 2023 at Dublin’s 3Arena he beat Whindersson Nunes by unanimous decision in the Kingpyn tournament semi-finals, which sent him to the final against AnEsonGib, per DAZN. Anthony Taylor beat him by unanimous decision, 49-45 on all three cards, on October 14, 2023, per Sports Illustrated, and Salt Papi stopped him in the third round in November 2024, his first stoppage loss, per Sports Illustrated, after which Kenny questioned the stoppage and asked on X, “Am I bugging or is that not an elbow?”
Why do King Kenny and Chunkz have beef?
King Kenny and Chunkz have not described a falling out in anything we could source, and we found no report of one in an accepted outlet, so we do not repeat one. What is public: as of November 2026 they are still in Beta Squad together, both listed in the group’s October 31, 2026 upload. If either of them addresses it on the record, this entry will add it.
How old is King Kenny? Where is he from?
King Kenny is 29, born March 20, 1997 in Watford, England, per Famous Birthdays. His career runs through London, where Beta Squad is based.
What is King Kenny’s real name?
As of November 2026, King Kenny goes by Kenny on his own channel and in Beta Squad’s uploads, which list him as “Kenny: @KingKennyTV.” We did not find his full legal name in a source we use, so we do not print one.
Where can I watch King Kenny?
King Kenny appears in the videos on the Beta Squad channel and posts on his own YouTube channel, which has about 2.25 million subscribers. He is on Instagram as @kingkennytv, with about 781,000 followers, on X as @KingKennytv and streams on Twitch. His Celebrity Traitors series aired on BBC One in October 2026.
What is King Kenny’s net worth?
King Kenny does not publish a number and neither do we.
Is King Kenny Muslim? Is King Kenny Christian? What about his family or girlfriend?
Not something we cover.
Who represents King Kenny?
As of November 2026, Famous Birthdays lists King Kenny as represented by the InterTalent Group; his YouTube channel lists a business email, and Beta Squad’s uploads list a business email at Beta Studios for the group. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking whether he was kicked out of Beta Squad, and the group’s own uploads answer it. If that changes, this entry will say so.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with King Kenny (Beta Squad). This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. Three lanes. In Beta Squad he is one of five voices in a format built on group games, forfeits and arguments. On his own channel he started with pranks and family bits. In the ring he is the group’s fighter, and the fights come with their own storylines: appeals, rematches and disputed cards.
Why it travels. His reach rides the group and the fight cards. His own channel posts rarely, while the Beta Squad channel and promoters’ broadcasts carry most of what people see of him. Controversy travels too: the reversed Temperrr win and the disputed Sensei and Salt Papi results each sent people searching his name, and The Celebrity Traitors put him in front of a BBC One audience in October 2026.
Brand fit. Brands already buying into Beta Squad: a young UK audience, football, food, games and fintech. Boxing and fight-night products fit his own lane, and the Traitors run opens a more mainstream UK door. Expect deals to run through the group’s business contact or his listed agency rather than him alone.
