Early Info
Nelk Boys created their YouTube channel on July 6, 2010, which was founded by Kyle Forgeard along with 3 partners including, Marko Martinovic, Lucas Gasparini, and Niko. After working together for more than four years, Kyle first met Jesse Sebastiani who is also a YouTuber and was running his self-published documentary called Saved by the Status.
In 2015, the previous group members Niko, and Marko (known as Маrtіnоvіс twіnѕ) left the group so Jesse Sebastiani and Luсаѕ Gаѕраrіnі immediately became the part of this entertainment company.
Talking about Куlе Fоrеgеаrd, he is a popular Canadian content creator who rose to fame after being the co-founder of the entertainment company NELK. Kyle was born on the 12th of July 1994 in Mississauga, Ontario to parents Rick and Gayle.
While growing up, he was always interested in having fun and spending time with his best friends during his college days. Moreover, Kyle also made his appearances in films such as Јасk Vаlе Fіlmѕ аnd Іntеrnеt Ісоn. Shortly after graduation he decided to make fun as a career and founded the company named NЕLК.
Luсаѕ Gаѕраrіnі is the second member of this group who was born on November 30, 1995, in Grеаtеr Ѕudburу, Саnаdа. He was also interested in having fun just like his other partner Kyle. He started making pranks with his friends while studying in school.
Jesse Sebastiani gained fame after being one-third of the prank trio NЕLК, and he is also a Canadian-based actor, social media personality, and a YouTube star. Sebastiani was born on the 27th of June 1993, in Оrаngеvіllе, Оntаrіо, Canada. He helped the NELK to achieve another level of success by making funnіеѕt рrаnkѕ оn реорlе.
Career
The turning point of NELK Boys’ career was in January 2015 when they uploaded a video with the title Coke Prank on Cops. They came to the limelight when they fooled the officers in a video by informing them that they had coke in the trunk of their car. Cops thought of the coke was cocaine, but in truth, they told to say Coca-Cola.
The prank video quickly went viral and amassed more than 48 million views on YouTube as of today, becoming the second most viewed video on their channel.
They later found themself into trouble when Los Angeles Police Department warned them by dropping a notice where they told the public that the prank was prohibited.
In May 2019, Kyle, Luсаѕ, and Jesse were getting more fame on social media and then Kyle added another partner named Stephen Deleonardis into the group.
Kyle had a dream to make his group one of the top brands so he was impressed by Stephen Deleonardis’ smoking and drinking challenge and prank videos which led to his entry into the team. Every year the group was expanding and in February 2020, the 2 other members, Salim Sirur, and his cousin, Jay became part of the Nelk.
Controversies
In September 2020, NELK again fall into controversy and trouble when they hosted a flash mob where 200 people gathered about on campus at the University of Illinois State during the COVID-19.
The Police Department started their investigation into Nelk due to the gathering of many people which was a violation of COVID-19 regulations. At that time their YouTube channel was demonetized by YouTube and they faced big trouble in their life.
Shortly after the team was again seen at a New Jersey house where they had gathered almost 1500 people and the house was being rented by NELK. The cops in Seaside Heights couth them and they broke up the gathering, as a result, Nelk boys were kicked out of the place by the landlord and also 8 fans were arrested.
Business Empire
Like other YouTubers, their primary source of income especially back from 2014 to 2015 was of course Google Adsense. At that time they were earning an estimated $60,000 a year or $5,000 a month.
But their pranks went beyond what YouTube would like to associate itself with plus considering they pulled a prank at YouTube headquarters out of San Bruno California, that combined with the Adpocalypse which happed back in 2017.
YouTube began to disable monetization for channels that were objectional to advertisers. They rolled out new policies on the platform and as of now, NELK was one of the first who was affected by these changes and had their AdSense removed altogether.
After getting massive popularity the team decided to launch their clothing brand named Full Send which quickly became successful. Jesse and Kyle saw the massive success that was their first drop and then they started to make seasonal and or monthly merch drops which every time sold out within days sometimes within an hour. Their one-time designs made their apparel brand exclusive and rare.
Mike Majlak who is a close friend of NELK Boys and also a business associate or co-host for Laugan Paul, revealed that NELK Boys earned close to $4 million per drop which makes them around $48 million in a year.
The group also managed to grow its brand recognition on other platforms outside of YouTube. They created several pages on the name of their brand on Instagram where they amassed more than 25 million combined followers.
In November 2020, the team revealed that they hired John Shahidi as Inc.’s President of Full Send Entertainment and Nelk. Back in 2017, Jesse Sebastiani had left the team but in 2021 he came back to the group. However he is not part of Nelk’s main videos, but he was working on pranks videos.
Podcast and Happy Dad
In 2021, Kyle decided to launch his podcast with his best friend Bob Menery, and right now that looks like it’s their main platform for reaching a new audience also reaching potential clients as well as growing their brand. These podcast videos often hit trending as they invite many big celebrities such as Lil Durk, Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and more.
The interesting thing is that the Full Send Podcast is either not monetized by YouTube or they have chosen not to run ads against their content but they still upload their podcast to Spotify and Apple Music.
Moving on from their podcast to their hard seltzer called Happy Dad, which they launched on May 31, 2021. The Happy Dad started to sell in June to a few stores in California and within two weeks these same stores were asking for a restock.
The group has since expanded to multiple states and this could eventually turn into a brand’s multimillion-dollar empire.
