James Swire (born: May 30, 1997 (1997-05-30) [age 26]), better known online as Jameskii (or James Prime), is a Danish-American YouTuber who mainly does comedy and gaming moments videos. He often streams on Twitch and sometimes makes highlight videos.

History

James has a wide range of YouTube videos and series on his channel: one of the earliest and most known series is called "VRChat in a nutshell" where he experiences VRChat and meets people with different types of personalities and characters from other games. He usually plays with a lot of his friends. He has also played other games, such as Roblox, Fortnite, CS: GO and Apex Legends for funny moment videos. In 2018, he was primarily making solo videos due to his crazy neighbor situation.

Before 2017, James was known as Kiisly/KiislyLive/KiisliyMLG which he was known as a professional CS:GO Player and SFM Animator. He was famous by TF2's parody of Harry Einfield's Loads of Money. He posted a selfie on Twitter, and a week later, on September 1, 2018, he uploaded an official face reveal video on YouTube[1] which was later deleted.

On June 3, 2019, he created a channel named James Prime, where he would upload some vlogs on the channel (however there were also some random videos on there).

Copyright strikes & claims

On December 19, 2018, James received his first copyright strike because one of his Roblox videos contained about 30 seconds of a song made by Tekashi 6ix9ine.

On January 4, 2019, James made a video about five copyright claims he received by CollabDRM on a TikTok video which contains a video clip of Rebecca Zamolo. However, she wasn't aware of the situation and CollabDRM had also attempted to sue him for defamation and making false claims that he hasn't replied to them. They also tried to offer him "licenses" ($300/each license) to the clips as long as he would delete his statements and remain silent. Anyhow, the situation didn't end up getting resolved and as a result, James had to remove his video to avoid getting a strike. On February 1, 2019, he received another copyright strike because of a sound effect on a VRChat video, but it has been quickly withdrawn.

James got several copyright claims without any claims by other companies, which seriously affected James' mental health. He talked about having a "painful surgery because of existing health condition escalated by stress caused by Collab situation". There weren't any signs of cancer or other diseases and he is currently recovering from it.

Controversies

Allegations against Twomad

On February 14, 2024, YouTuber Twomad was revealed to have died of drug overdose. Immediately after the news broke out James made a tweet[2] accusing him of being a rapist and a pedophile, as well as trying to murder him multiple times, also saying that Twomad tried to kill multiple lives by driving recklessly while under the influence of drugs, and also saying that he preyed on a 13 year old in a mental hospital. He made a second tweet[3] on February 16, saying that Twomad put a Bullet hole in his office and James was told to wear a Bulletproof vest in public. He witnessed a SWAT team with ballistic shields outside of his home, and had to cooperate with an anti-terrorism unit, when Twomad made implications of people's lives being in James' control at TwitchCon, leading to the entire convention center being surrounded by police SUVs. In a third tweet[4], he claims that Justa Minx actively interfered with investigations and assisted Twomad by revealing confidential information provided by the authorities and she also encouraged him to kill himself for hours and days before his death. Minx even talked about it on streams.

In a fourth[5], he shows footage claiming that Twomad did posses real firearms, as well as a photo of him allegedly pointing a pistol at the aformentioned 13 year old. He was sent a video that was privately taken right before a BTS concert in December 2021.

James' claims were met with a mixed response. He was criticized for revealing this right after Twomad's death, as well as an initial lack of evidence to support his claims. Some also surfaced the full video of Twomad's encounter with the girl, revaling that the pistol he showed her was actually a BB gun.[6]

On March 14 2024, James released a 52-page document containing evidence against Twomad. In this document, James recalls specific instances of stalking, threats of violence, and abuse. He also provides evidence that Twomad possessed both BB guns, as well as functioning guns. [7] Most of the responses were supportive, showing support to James and other victims of Twomad.
