Brandon Lucas,[1] better known online as Golden Modz (or simply Golden, formerly GTAGod), is a American YouTuber who had over 2 million subscribers on his first channel.
He predominantly uploads mod troll gaming content.
About[]
The Golden Modz YouTube channel was created mid 2015, it was originally a group channel, consisting of GTAGod and Delta N9ne, and they uploaded mod trolls on games such as Grand Theft Auto V and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and uploaded the occasional regular gameplay on games like Garry's Mod and Rocket League. GTAGod would later buy the entire channel from Delta and go on to upload solo and use the alias Golden.
Golden would continue to upload mod trolls and doing collabs with other YouTubers such as Ripped Robby, Elegant Elliott, AnonsTheName, Legend Nebula, Vibez and Derpy Slurpy.
In late 2017, Golden would surpass 1 million subscribers and uploaded a face reveal and QnA video.
Following the popularity of Fortnite, Golden began uploading content on the game ranging from regular gameplays to mod trolls, these videos garnered him millions of views but the modding videos resulted in his channel being copyright striked by Epic Games. There was speculation over Epic Games taking Golden to court.
In mid 2019, Golden surpassed 2 million subscribers and uploaded a video showing his new puppy named Golden. In early 2020, he continued uploading mod trolls on games like GTA V.
At some point he moved into a house with fellow YouTubers Legend Nebula, Vibez and Teezy
Termination[]
On June 6, 2020 Golden Modz was terminated from YouTube after copyright strikes from a gaming company Rockstar. Brandon mentioned he is actively trying to contact YouTube to remove the strikes. He had 2.27 Million subscribers before his termination.[2] He later on tweeted him talking about his channel getting terminated on his other channel, Goldens Golden, which was terminated 8 days later.[3]
Return[]
Golden Modz began uploading on his former backup channel following the termination of his main channel, however due to being unable to monetise the channel Golden uploaded a video asking his viewers to subscribe to another channel that he created on 4th August 2021. However he has since returned to uploading to the former channel, which reached 50,000 subscribers in January 2023.
Golden Modz remained largely inactive on YouTube throughout 2023, with his last upload of the year being in April.
In early 2024 he was appearing on his friend's and fellow YouTuber's channel, WittyMcGee.[1][2]
