Aiden Owen (born: March 7, 2005 (2005-03-07)), also known as AidenProjects, is an American YouTube commentator who has gained success after the Chubbs controversy. Keemstar from DramaAlert shouted Aiden out and gained over 100,000 subscribers in a few days. His channel was losing subscribers, but he kept making videos. Sometime in 2022 Aiden stopped uploading videos to his main channel.

After abandoning the AidenProjects moniker, Aiden currently streams on a separate channel, AidenUnderground. He has 7.1k subscribers and his content focuses of commentary/drama streams. He came back to content in November of 2024, naming his dedicated fan base "Aids Gang" and adopting the phrase "AG4L".

History

Aiden was a small commentary channel known by many names before his big blow up. He used to be friends with fellow commentary channels Cyrus (more commonly known as *67 or Wifiskeleton) and Scrubby , the former of which he claimed got him into making commentary videos. He originally went by the name "Astro" before picking his name most people recognize by "Aiden Projects." Aiden was 12 years old when he began making YouTube videos and started off making LeafyIsHere style commentary reaction videos whilst also being an editor for a few creators.

In 2017, he gained temporary momentum after a drama occurred with the YouTuber known as Chubbs scammed him out of an editing commission Aiden took. After this drama from 2017-2020 Aiden focused on growing his channel seeking notoriety outside the Chubbs drama by making videos like Leafy, Cyrus, and Scrubby. During 2021-2023 Aiden would be largely absent from his main channel, occasionally dropping video essay style videos while also appearing in streams around the commentary community, mainly engaging in political debates.

In 2023, he decided to leave the internet and pursue other aspirations. But in late 2024 he came back, choosing to make live stream content instead of the reaction commentary or video essays he made before. Currently, he resides in Santa Monica, California.

Before YouTube, Aiden went to a boarding school and grew up in New York City. Aiden frequently talks about his life there and how he grew up before his big blow up on YouTube. He has an older brother, a mother, a father, and a dog.

Controversy

Chubbs Controversy

In December 2017, Aiden was making an audio clip for Chubbs, but Chubbs did not pay Aiden like he mentioned he would. Chubbs has now been well known as "Scamming a 12-year-old" (Aiden was 12 at the time). Aiden made a video called "Dear, Chubbs" which he exposes Chubbs for scamming Aiden, not paying to Aiden, and also says to Chubbs that he is a fake commentator and faked all his friends.

People were surprised by how he commentates for his age. Chubbs lost nearly 10,000 subscribers in a few weeks due to the controversy.

LioConvoy and Hangout Scandal

Aiden would go meet fellow content creators Purple Perry Gaming, Hellbent, Kuihman, Dickers and a fan of his, SolSkibidi. This was during Aiden's trip to the UK during his winter break, however this was not without controversy as many of his friends would accuse him of being anti-social, and not fun to hang around.

Particularly, his interactions with Hellbent were criticized. Aiden found her annoying to the point where he ran from her when he saw her, he also saw her gift to him as performative. Dickers reported that the group would often have to pick between Aiden and Hellbent more often than not.

This drama would eventually quiet down until Purple Parry Gaming leaked information about Aiden, including the fact that he asked out and wanted to date GoatCatto. Sometime in mid-December, Aiden asked Acehowler (GoatCatto's ex-boyfriend) for advice and for the go ahead to ask Goat out, supposedly stating that he loved Goat. At the same time, it was also leaked that Aiden would dox LioConvoy's wife. It was revealed that Aiden looked for her dox and posted it in his Discord server. Aiden would initially attempt to justify this, but later apologized after receiving scrutiny.

People saw his actions as controversial because Aiden covered LioConvoy for nearly 5 months on almost every stream he made. It was also theorized that Aiden had incentive to cover Lio due of his interest in GoatCatto as Lio and Goat had fallen out. ChudLogic eventually would cover this drama live and challenged Aiden on his actions and conduct, stating that Aiden's career was cooked.

Andres Cheek Incident

On November 29, 2024, Aiden went live to an audience of around 112 people. On this day, a user who went by the name Andre joined his livestream to debate him about a controversy involving the YouTuber Mrow. The controversy centered on Mrow’s sexual behavior towards a 17-year-old (Mrow at the time was 21 years old), and Andre argued that Mrow was guilty of sexual misconduct towards them. During the livestream, Andre attempted to settle his differences with Aiden by pulling his pants down and revealing his exposed behind to the audience. Aiden would later accuse his audience members of planting Andre into his livestream, including the 17-year-old, who he would go onto debate.

The failure to turn off Andre's camera quickly, and Aiden's debate performance were later criticized by many people in the commentary community, including ChudLogic

Accusations of Stalking Acheeto

Aiden has had drama with fellow commentary channel known as Acheeto The drama started when he began to engage in stream sniping against him during a live stream. This occurred when one of his former friends, Liam Donovan, called him to check on Acheeto streams, pointing out Acheeto's low viewership. As a result of Aiden streaming sniping Acheeto his fans would go into his chat spamming 'AG4L' among other things. This resulted in Acheeto and Aiden having a debate about multiple different topics, such as Aiden's behavior towards him in real life Acheeto ended up deleting his end of the VOD, but the debate still remains up on Aiden's channel. Ever since this interaction, Acheeto has blocked Aiden on Twitter and claims he stalks him. Aiden since then has made multiple streams and stream segments dedicated to talking about Acheeto and Acheeto's content.

Deorio DM's leak

On August 24, 2025, streamer PurplePerryGaming from Malta, sifted through his PC and leaked Aiden's DMs with Nicholas DeOrio live on air while both streamers were hanging out. Subsequently, Nick blocked Aiden over this, losing his 8-year-long friendship with the creator. Reportedly Aiden has claimed it was an honest mistake in about 8 subsequent streams while also claiming he no longer cares about his former friend.

Deleted videos

As of now, Aiden has deleted the video on Chubbs, and his video, "Make Commentary Great Again", where he explains the steps and basics to how the commentary community can do better than the state they are in now. Aiden also deleted videos that are rant and expose videos towards other YouTubers, such as, WildSpartanz, Jake Paul, and RiceGum.

Aiden has deleted most of the content that got him big off of YouTube. His channel used to include dozens of videos with millions of views, but now it lays dormant.
