Jidon Adams, popularly known as Jidion, is a well-known face in the YouTube community who recently participated in the Sidemen charity match.
Known for his vlogging and prank videos, the American YouTuber started his YouTube channel by making a video where he tried to sell different things at his high school.
His first video that became popular was called “Giving Strangers The N-Word PASS,” and it came out in early 2019. In his funny videos, Adams pretends to be someone named “DeMarcus Cousins III” when people ask for his name or when he introduces himself. He got this made-up name from an NBA player named DeMarcus Cousins.
However, the streamer went viral on Twitter recently and it’s not due to any of his new content but because of his age. As it turns out, Jidion is 22 years old.
Fans are quite shocked to find out that he is so below thirty in the first place, let alone comprehending the fact that he was 2000 born. The probable reason for this collective revelation is down to the fact that he looks really old, and he has a receding hairline.
The shock has also given people some clarity as to why he gets into trouble since his mature face never justified his imbecilic behavior, but now everyone understands that he is just a little immature.
The list is long if we talk about his imprudent actions. In 2021 and 2022, Adams found himself in several controversial situations. In October 2021, he got into trouble at a Best Buy store when an employee asked him to leave because he was shirtless. Later that day, he returned with a group of other shirtless men to hassle the same employee.
In January 2022, he faced accusations of harassment from Twitch streamer Pokimane for making disrespectful comments about her appearance and relationship status. In June 2022, he was kicked out of the Tower of London for trying to provoke a reaction from a Royal Guard. July 2022 saw him accused by fellow YouTuber TommyInnit of bothering fans at a TwitchCon meet-and-greet, and he even posted a video of the incident.
During the Wimbledon quarterfinal match between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic, Adams was banned for disruptive behavior, including repeatedly using an air horn. In September 2022, he was removed from the 2022 US Open men’s finals for getting a haircut during the match.
In March 2023, Adams faced legal trouble when he was arrested for trespassing at a mall in Houston, Texas, and for hanging up a painting of the Mona Lisa with his face at the Louvre in Paris, France.
However, he received the most backlash when the 22 year old caused disruptions at two WNBA games for trying to sleep at the venue. Consequently, he received a lifetime ban from NBA and WNBA games.
