Vlog to Victory – Episode 1: The Beginning of Something Big

Tobi Adekunle, a 19-year-old Nigerian YouTuber, has lived in the UK for the past five years. He was born and raised in America but moved to London when he was 14 due to his father's job relocation. His father, David Adekunle, is a financial analyst, and his mother, Esther Adekunle, is a nurse. Tobi has a younger sister, Amara, who is 12 years old.

Growing up in America, Tobi was always fascinated by YouTube. He watched creators like KSI, Sidemen, and AMP, dreaming of building his own channel. When he moved to the UK, he struggled to fit in at first, but YouTube became his escape. He met his best friend Jamie at school, and the two bonded over their love for content creation. Over time, they decided to start their own YouTube group, inspired by the success of groups like Beta Squad and Sidemen.

The YouTube Group – HypeHouse UK

Tobi came up with the name HypeHouse UK because he wanted a name that represented excitement, energy, and collaboration. Seeing how Beta Squad and AMP built their teams around friendship and fun, Tobi wanted to create something similar but with a UK vibe.

Current Members (4 People):

Tobi Adekunle – Founder, main personality, vlogger

Jamie Carter – Best friend, comedic relief, editor

Malik Johnson – The wild one, loves crazy challenges

Ethan Taylor – The strategist, plans content ideas

Their channel, HypeHouse UK, currently has 15K subscribers and is slowly growing. Since they don’t have all the resources like high-end cameras or a proper studio, their content is limited. They mostly shoot videos on their phones and edit them using free software.

First Video Idea – "The £10 vs £100 Challenge"

For their first big video, they decide to do a challenge where they compare spending £10 vs £100 on a fun day out. They split into two teams—Tobi and Jamie take the budget-friendly route, while Malik and Ethan spend big. The video will be a mix of vlogging, comedy, and competition.

Tobi knows that success won't come overnight, but he's determined to make HypeHouse UK one of the biggest YouTube groups in the world.

Would you like to explore more of Tobi's personal struggles or add more depth to the team's dynamic?

Vlog to Victory – Episode 2: Filming the First Big Video

Opening Scene:

The episode starts in Tobi’s small but decent-sized room, where he sets up his phone on a tripod. He’s sitting on his bed, wearing a hoodie, looking excited but a little nervous. His laptop is open, showing the HypeHouse UK channel with 15K subscribers.

Tobi takes a deep breath and starts recording.

Tobi (talking to the camera):

"Alright, people, welcome back to HypeHouse UK! Today is a special one because we’re finally dropping our first big video. You lot have been waiting, we’ve been planning, and now it’s time to make it happen. The £10 vs £100 Challenge! Let’s see who can have the best day with the budget they get. Cheap or expensive—who wins? Let’s go!"

He stops recording, watches the clip back, then calls Jamie.

Tobi: "Yo, bro, we’re all meeting at the park, yeah? Bring your energy, 'cause this one has to slap."

Jamie: "Fam, you already know! Malik’s chatting bare, saying he’s gonna make £100 look mad. But man’s about to flex on a tenner!"

Tobi: "We’ll see, we’ll see. Just don’t turn up late, bro."

Jamie: "Me? Late? Never!"

Cut to: Meeting at the Park

The four guys meet up at a local park, their usual spot for hanging out and filming.

Malik (smirking): "You lot ready to lose? ‘Cause I’m about to show you how £100 gets spent proper."

Ethan: "Man’s acting like he’s in Forbes. Let’s see if you can actually make it worth it."

Tobi: "Alright, so here’s how it’s gonna go. Me and Jamie are on Team £10, Malik and Ethan are on Team £100. You have the whole day to ball out with your budget, and at the end, we let the audience decide who had the better experience. Deal?"

Jamie: "Say less. Let’s get started!"

Filming the Challenge

Team £10 (Tobi & Jamie):

They start by hitting the local corner shop, buying cheap snacks—instant noodles, crisps, and a £1 drink.

Take a bus instead of Uber to the city center.

Go to a free museum, pretending to be art critics.

Find a street performer, dance for fun, and get £2 from random people (which they add to their budget).

End the day by buying £5 meal deals and chilling at a park, laughing about their day.

Tobi (to the camera): "And that’s how you live LARGE on a tenner, bro. Man’s full, had a sick day, and we didn’t even spend everything!"

Jamie: "They ain’t topping this, trust me."

Team £100 (Malik & Ethan):

Start with breakfast at a fancy café—each order a £10 meal.

Take an Uber everywhere instead of walking.

Buy expensive clothes—Malik flexes a £40 hoodie.

Go-karting for £25 each.

End the day with a steak dinner.

Ethan (to the camera): "Yeah, see, this is the lifestyle. If you’re gonna do something, do it right."

Malik: "These man think they’re winning on £10? Nah, bro, this is how you live!"

Editing and Uploading the Video

Later that night, back in Tobi’s room, he’s editing the video on his laptop. Jamie is with him, eating crisps.

Jamie: "Yo, that street performer bit? Keep that in. Man needs to see how we actually made money while spending money."

Tobi: "Facts. Also, Malik’s flexing too much, bro. Man spent £40 on a hoodie."

Jamie: "Could’ve got two pairs of creps at Primark for that."

They laugh as Tobi finishes editing.

Tobi (uploading the video): "Aight, it’s done. First big video, officially live."

Title: "£10 vs £100 Challenge – Who Had the Better Day?"

Thumbnail: A split screen—Tobi & Jamie eating cheap food vs. Malik & Ethan at a fancy restaurant.

Ending Scene – Checking the Response

The next morning, Tobi wakes up and checks his phone. The video already has 3,000 views in 12 hours.

Text from Jamie:

"Bro, check the comments, people are loving it!"

Tobi smiles, knowing this is just the beginning.

To be continued…

Tobi's eyes widen. He was expecting maybe 2K views at most, but this? This was insane.

He immediately calls Jamie.

Tobi: "Bro. Wake up. We blew up."

Jamie (half-asleep): "Huh? Blew up? Who blew up?"

Tobi: "Our vid. 38K views overnight. We actually did it, fam."

Jamie (wakes up instantly): "Nahhh, stop playing. You serious?"

Tobi: "Check it yourself."

Tobi facepalms.

Tobi: "Jamie, bro… people are actually dropping their whole government details in the comments."

Jamie (laughing): "Nahhh, we might have to turn into HR at this point."

Ending Scene – Next Steps

The video was a massive success, but Tobi knew this was only the start. People wanted better quality, more challenges, and even new members.

Tobi (talking to the camera):

"Aight, people. Y’all are mad for the love on the last vid. We hear you. More challenges coming. More madness. And for those asking to join? Maybe, just maybe, we’ll think about it…"

To be continued…

Would you like the next episode to focus on them choosing a new member, or should they do another crazy challenge first?

Vlog to Victory – Episode 4: The Next Big Video & First YouTube Paycheck

Brainstorming the Next Video

Tobi, Jamie, Ethan, and Malik are sitting in Tobi’s small living room, throwing ideas around.

Tobi: "Aight, boys. The last vid went crazy. Nearly 50K views. We gotta keep this momentum going."

Jamie: "Yeah, but we can’t just do another ‘£10 vs £100’ thing. People will say we’re repeating ourselves."

Ethan: "We need something wild. Something people will actually click on."

Malik: "What if we do a ‘Public Dare Challenge’? We go outside, ask random people to give us dares, and we gotta do whatever they say."

Jamie: "Nahhh, you tryna get us arrested??"

Tobi: "It’s not bad, though. We can keep it light—nothing illegal, just funny dares."

Ethan: "Like… ‘Go into McDonald’s and order one fry’ or ‘Act like you know a random person and see if they go along with it’."

Malik: "Exactly. We film their reactions, and BOOM, content."

Tobi: "Bet. ‘Public Dare Challenge’ it is."

Recording the Video

The boys hit the streets of London, armed with a camera and a mic. They stop strangers and ask them to give them dares.

Dare 1: Jamie has to go into a Tesco, pick up a basket, walk around like he’s shopping, and then put everything back before leaving. The cashier looks so confused.

Dare 2: Malik has to hug a random old lady and say, “Grandma? Is that you?” The lady actually plays along and says, “Yes, dear, where have you been?” 🤣

Dare 3: Ethan has to ask for free food at KFC, claiming it’s his “birthday.” The worker just laughs and gives him a single napkin.

Dare 4: Tobi has to pretend to be a mannequin inside a clothing store. He actually fools a couple of people before security side-eyes him.

After two hours of filming, the boys head back to edit.

Editing & Uploading

Tobi sits in front of his laptop, trimming clips, adding music, and cutting boring parts.

Jamie: "Bro, that KFC clip is hilarious. Make sure you zoom in on Ethan’s face when he gets that napkin."

Malik: "Also, make my grandma moment dramatic. Like add sad music."

Ethan: "Nahhh, we need meme sound effects, bruv."

Tobi uploads the video with the title: "WE DID YOUR DARES IN PUBLIC! (GONE WRONG?)"

First YouTube Paycheck 💰

A few days later, Tobi checks the YouTube dashboard and sees their earnings from all the previous videos.

💰 YouTube Ad Revenue: £278.39

💰 Sponsorship (Small Brand Deal): £50

💰 Total Earnings: £328.39

Jamie: "Wait, so we actually made money??"

Tobi: "Yeah, but it’s not crazy. We can’t quit our jobs yet."

Ethan: "Nahhh, but this is our first paycheck. From making vids. That’s wild."

Malik: "Man said £328. We rich now?"

Tobi: "Relax. This is like one Nando’s meal split four ways."

Why HypeHouse UK Had a Bad Reputation

Before Tobi and his crew, people hated the old ‘HypeHouse UK’ idea because:

Fake Drama – The original members always faked fights for clout.

Clickbait – They titled videos like "WE GOT ARRESTED! (REAL)" when it was clearly fake.

No Chemistry – They weren’t actually friends, just people forced together for views.

Cringe Content – They did over-the-top pranks that weren’t even funny.

Scams – They promised giveaways but never gave anything.

Tobi and his crew want to be the opposite. Real friendships, real content, no fake drama.

To Be Continued…

Their new video is up, their first paycheck is in, and their channel is growing. But now, they have a big decision to make:

Do they use the money to upgrade their equipment?

Or should they save it for future challenges?

Saving the Money & Planning the First Stream

Tobi and the crew sit in his room, looking at the £328 they earned.

Tobi: "Alright, boys, we could spend this on new mics, a better camera, or even a trip… but hear me out."

Jamie: "You about to say some broke sh*t, ain’t you?"

Tobi: "We save it. Stack up the earnings, and later we can go all in on some big upgrades."

Ethan: "Makes sense. We ain’t making crazy money yet."

Malik: "Yeah, but at least let me buy a better chair, bro. My back is fighting for its life."

Tobi ignores him.

Tobi: "Instead of buying stuff now, let’s start streaming. No extra cost, and we can engage with fans directly."

Investing in a Business

After getting the £54,614, Tobi and the crew decided not to waste it on dumb stuff. Instead, they invested £50,000 into a start-up clothing brand called HYPEWARE—a mix of streetwear and sportswear, inspired by brands like Supreme and Nike Tech.

Jamie: "If we do this right, we’ll have a clothing empire."

Ethan: "And if we f*ck it up?"

Malik: "Then we wasted 50 grand and we’re back to broke."

Tobi: "Exactly. Let’s pray."

They put the money into production, marketing, and influencers to promote it. Then, they waited.

One whole month. No posts, no money coming in.

Then—BOOM.

THE MONEY FINALLY CAME BACK!

💰 HYPEWARE went viral. Orders flew in. The brand made a total of £720,000 in sales. After taxes, production costs, and marketing expenses, their total profit was £410,000.

Malik: "BRO. FOUR HUNDRED TEN THOUSAND. I AM GONNA THROW UP."

Jamie: "We just turned 50K into 410K in a MONTH."

Ethan: "I need a f*cking drink."

Tobi: "I TOLD Y’ALL. TRUST THE PROCESS!"
