When Vikkstar shocked the world...-2

“	Hey guys it's me Vikkstar123, and...	”
―Vik's intro

Vikram Singh "Vik" Barn (born: August 2, 1995 (1995-08-02)), better known online as Vikkstar123, is an English YouTuber, DJ and music producer. He is a member of both the Sidemen and The Pack.

Early life

Vik is a British YouTuber who was born in Guildford, Surrey in 1995. At the age of eight he moved with his family to Sheffield. He has two older brothers who have never been seen in videos. In the mid-2010s, rumours/jokes circulated about Lewis Redman being Vik's other brother - but in reality they have no actual relation.

Vik attended Silverdale School from 2006 to 2013. He gained a high number of A*s in his GCSEs in 2011, and 1 A* and 3 As in his A-Levels in 2013. During his A Levels, he got offered a place at University College London (UCL) to study Natural Sciences, but he declined the offer to do YouTube instead. Vik is therefore the butt of jokes about how his parents are "disappointed" that he isn't a doctor.

YouTube career

Vik registered an account with YouTube in 2010 when he was 14. He originally wanted his channel to be called "Vikster" (a portmanteau of "Vik" and "gangster") but it was already taken. "Vikstar" was also taken (as was "Vikstar123") so he eventually settled on "Vikkstar123" - leading to many years of people thinking his name was actually spelled with an extra 'K'.

Vik has been a part of the Sidemen since 2013 but he joined a short period of time after the other five members (excluding W2S at that time) had formed. Vik lived in the Sidemen House alongside Simon, Josh, and JJ from February 2014 to November 2018. Unlike the other Sidemen, Vik isn't a big fan of FIFA and is best known for his Minecraft and first-person shooter videos, as well as Grand Theft Auto V. In 2017, Vik started focusing primarily on Fortnite.

Vik is also part of "The Pack", and all their members are Minecraft YouTubers who record with Vik on both of his side channels, but almost never on his main. However, fellow Pack member Lachlan appeared in Sidemen gaming videos at somewhat frequent intervals in 2017 and 2018. Vik has gone on record to say he prefers the Sidemen to the Pack.

Music career

Vikk is a music producer. On September 28, 2023, Vik released a single with Alan Walker and Dash Berlin titled "Better Off (Alone, Pt. III)" on digital platforms. His second single "Humans" featuring Shaun Farrugia was released on December 1, 2023.

Personal life

Between 2015 and 2017, Vik was in a relationship with Kayleigh Wordley. Since late 2018, he has been in a relationship with Ellie Harlow. In December 2021, Vik announced that they were engaged. They got married in 2023.

Controversy

Diss Track Season

On August 15, Vikkstar123 dropped his own diss track against Deji - something Deji said would never happen - called "THE END". The song was so fire, many people have said there was no coming back from it and that the war is over. Even KSI reacted to it and admitted that Deji couldn't come back from it.

Nevertheless, Deji "reacted" to Vik's track, took it personally, got triggered, and said he'd make a new track aimed solely at Vik. Vik said that he will not be making another one, as the first was just a joke.

MC Championship

MC Championship is a Minecraft Tournament for YouTubers and streamers run by the Noxcrew, in which 10 teams of four compete in a series of 8 minigames decided by the participants. A point multiplier makes each game worth more as each round passes, incentivizing teams to vote for games they might be bad at early on in the event. In the end, the two teams with the most points face off in a round of ‘Dodgebolt’ to decide the winner of the tournament. This makes it possible for a team to win despite potentially having fewer points than the runner-up.

• MC Championship 1: Team Lime Llamas. Teamed with PeteZahHutt, Rafessor, and FlorianFunke. Placed 5th individual and his team placed 2nd overall, losing Dodgebolt to the Purple Pandas.
• MC Championship 2: Team Orange Ocelots. Teamed with PeteZahHutt, Smallishbeans, and LDShadowLady. Placed 5th individual and his team placed 3rd overall.
• MC Championship 3: Team Orange Ocelots. Teamed with PeteZahHutt, Dangthatsalongname, and Shubble. Placed 2nd individual and his team placed 1st overall, winning Dodgebolt and the tournament.
• MC Championship 4: Team Green Guardians. Teamed with PeteZahHutt, MichaelMcChill, and KingBurren. Placed 6th individual and his team placed 2nd overall, losing Dodgebolt to the Purple Pandas.
• MC Championship 5: Team Aqua Horses. Teamed with PeteZahHutt, TommyInnit, and Eret. Placed 6th individual and his team placed 2nd overall, losing Dodgebolt to the Yellow Yaks.
