Picture this: You’re doom-scrolling YouTube at 2 AM, and a video titled “Beta Squad Plays Horror Games” pops up. Within seconds, someone screams like a jet engine, and you find yourself wondering, “Wait… are these guys even legal to drive a car?” It’s a valid question, especially when Chunkz looks like he’s been 25 since 2018, and AJ Shabeel seems to have found the fountain of youth in a protein shake. Let’s break down the chaos, shall we?
The Beta Squad isn’t a boy band or a rogue secret society. They are a collective of seven British YouTubers who turned friendship into a content empire. Their ages are as varied as their personalities, from the chaotic extrovert to the quiet grinder. You probably already know their faces, but today, we’re doing the math—and yes, you can laugh at my calculations.
The Old Guard vs. The Baby of the Squad
Let’s start with the eldest statesman of the group: Niko Omilana. Born on April 1st, 1998, that makes him 26 years old as of 2024. An April Fool’s baby—how fitting for a man who once ran for London Mayor as a joke. Next up is Kenny (real name unknown to most of us), who was born on July 27th, 1998, making him also 26. These two are the wise uncles of the group, mostly because they’ve been on YouTube since before it required a subscription button.

Then you have Chunkz, the hype man with the laugh that could break glass. He was born on November 20th, 1998, so he’s 25—though his energy levels suggest he’s eternal. Sharky, the quiet one who somehow always wins the challenges, was born on November 23rd, 1998. Yes, he’s also 25. Sensing a pattern? These four are basically the same age, proving that your mid-twenties are the perfect time to make questionable decisions in front of a camera.
The “Wait, They’re That Young?” Revelation
Now, let’s toss a curveball: Aj Shabeel. Born on January 25th, 2001, he is 23 years old. I know, I know—he looks like he just graduated from school, but he’s been grinding since he was a teenager. King Kenny? Wait, no—that’s King Kenny, also born in 1998. Don’t get confused; there are two Kennys in the squad (beta energy, right?). The second Kenny is King Kenny, born October 1st, 1998, making him 25. Honestly, the naming conventions here are a crime.
But the real shocker is Vikkstar123. Wait, no—Vik is part of the Sidemen, not the Beta Squad. Hold on. Deep breath. The Beta Squad’s youngest member is Chunkz? No, that’s wrong. Let’s check the records. Actually, the youngest is Aj Shabeel at 23, followed by Chunkz and Sharky at 25. The oldest are Niko and Kenny at 26. Filly (the editor and occasional face) is also around 25, though he keeps his exact birthdate close to the vest like a trade secret.

So, what does this mean? It means the entire squad hovers around the 23–26 age bracket. They are old enough to know better, but young enough to do it anyway. This is why their videos feel like a sleepover where everyone is both hilarious and slightly irresponsible.
Why Does Age Even Matter Here?
You might be thinking, “Great, now I know their ages. Should I send them birthday cards?” But knowing their age explains their appeal. They are not teenagers cashing in on trends; they are young adults navigating life—mortgages, relationships, and the existential dread of turning 30. When Niko jokes about his back hurting, it’s funny because he’s 26, not 60. When Aj drops a Fortnite reference, it lands because he’s 23 and still lives in the gamer ecosystem.
Also, it makes their growth as creators more impressive. They started this squad in 2020, when most of them were barely 22. Now they’re millionaires with merch lines. That’s the kind of “late bloomer” energy we can all get behind. They are proof that your mid-20s are for taking risks, not just paying rent.

Let’s Not Forget the Wildcards
There are two more members we haven’t pinned down: Kenny (the OG) and Filly. Filly is notoriously private, but fan estimates place him at 24–25 based on his old school photos. And King Kenny? He’s the same age as the other Kenny, which is honestly confusing. The lesson here? The Beta Squad is basically a group of friends who refused to grow up, and their ages are just a formality. Who cares if they are 23 or 26? They are all young enough to stay up all night playing Mario Kart, which is the real test of youth.
So, are you older or younger than your favorite Beta Squad member? If you’re older, you can pretend to be the responsible adult. If you’re younger, you have time to catch up to their level of chaos. Either way, remember: age is just a number, but a 26-year-old jumping into a pool of slime will always be funny.
Now go watch their video from last week. You’ll see Niko acting like a tired dad, while Aj hurls insults like a TikTok gremlin. It’s art.
