Ajey Nagar (pronounced [əˈdʒeː ˈnaːɡər]), popularly known as CarryMinati, is an Indian YouTuber and streamer from Faridabad, India. He is known for his comedic skits and reactions to various online topics on his channel CarryMinati. His other channel CarryisLive is dedicated to gaming and live streams.[1]

In May 2020, his roast video titled "YouTube Vs TikTok - The End" caused controversy on YouTube India. The video was removed by YouTube for violations against the platform's terms of service, citing reasons such as cyberbullying and harassment.[2]

Early life

Ajey Nagar was born on 12 June 1999 in Faridabad,[3]a city near India's national capital New Delhi,[4] where he is based.[5] He attended school till 2016, when he dropped out to pursue his YouTube career;[5] skipping his Class-XII Board examination because of his nervousness about passing the economics exam. He later completed his schooling through long-distance learning.[3]

Nagar's elder brother, Yash Nagar, is a music producer and composer who has collaborated with him as Wily Frenzy.[6]

Career

YouTube

Popularly referred to as CarryMinati, [7] Nagar is known for his distinctive and energetic Hindi-language commentary.[5][4] He is mainly involved in creating diss songs, satirical parodies and comedy, apart from live gaming.[8] Nagar and his team produce videos out of his home in Faridabad.[7]

Nagar began posting videos on YouTube at the age of 10.[4] His main YouTube channel has been active since 2014.[5] In 2014, the channel's name was AddictedA1 and Nagar would upload recorded video game footage along with his reactions to the game.[9][10] In 2015, he changed the channel's name to CarryDeol, uploading gameplay footage of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive while mimicking Sunny Deol. The channel was subsequently renamed to CarryMinati.[11] In May 2021, Nagar released a statement saying that the channel had more than 30 million subscribers.[12]

In early 2017, Nagar created an additional YouTube channel called CarryIsLive, where he live-streams himself playing video games.[5]

In 2019, Nagar was listed at the 10th position in the Next Generation Leaders' 2019 by the TIME magazine, which is an annual list of ten young people who construct innovative careers.[13] In April 2020 he was part of Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia[14]

"YouTube Vs Tiktok–The End"

In May 2020, Nagar published a controversial YouTube video titled "YouTube Vs Tiktok–The End", in response to a video shared on Instagram by TikTok user Amir Siddiqui who berated YouTube creators for roasting TikTok users. Nagar's video resulted in the hashtag #CarryMinatiRoastVideo to trend on Twitter.[15] It was taken down by YouTube citing violations of its terms of service, based on multiple complaints of harassment and cyberbullying. A large number reports had been made by LGBTQ+ activists, on account of homophobic or transphobic abusive language in the video. Many of Nagar's fans were critical of YouTube's actions, and the removal led to several new trending hashtags mentioning his name. As a result, the video received several million views, and there was a concerted effort to give poor ratings to TikTok at Google Play Store. Other fans of Nagar spoke out in favour of YouTube's decision to remove the video.[2][16] In June 2020, Nagar uploaded the music video "Yalgaar" as a further response, with renewed criticism of Siddiqui.[17]

Raising fund for causes

In July 2020, Nagar hosted a live-stream on his second channel CarryisLive for Assam and Bihar flood victims. The stream was an 6-hour live session Nagar playing multiple games like "Ghost of Tsushima, Pacify and Pubg" with his fellow YouTubers Tanmay Bhat, Flying Beast. In 6-hours he raised with over 12 lakh, the all amount donated in equal proportion to the Assam & Bihar chief minister relief funds.[18]
