JiDion’s real name and age, explained

JiDion has grown immensely popular for his comedic vlogging and prank videos. While fans are captivated by his engaging personality and shower his videos with love, one lingering curiosity about the real person behind the screen always bugs viewers.

The YouTube star has also been shrouded in various controversies that came along with his rise to fame. He was banned from the popular streaming platform Twitch in Jan. 2022 after he incited a hate raid on another Twitch streamer, Pokimane. He also received a lifetime ban from all NBA and WNBA events for a stunt he pulled at a WNBA game in July 2023. While most people know him as this daring troublemaker, JiDion hides his real identity behind his “professional internet troll” personality.

The real identities and lives of actors, singers, YouTubers, and other famous people always pique the interest of fans. Like any other star shining bright in the spotlight, JiDion also has a life under the shadows. Beyond his captivating online persona and catchy channel name, here is who the real JiDion is and how old he is.

JiDion’s real name

JiDion is popularly known by his alias DeMarcus Cousins III or as JiDion itself. He used the moniker DeMarcus Cousins III as a result of an ongoing joke that he resembles Cousins owing to their comparable physical characteristics and facial hair style. However, unlike popular belief, it is not his real name. He has rarely used his real name in his videos or anywhere in his online presence including Instagram and other social media platforms.

JiDion’s real name is Jidon Armani Adams, and he uses a creative version of his first name as his internet identity. He keeps his personal life mostly under wraps, and very little is known about his family members.

Two months after creating his YouTube channel in July 2018, JiDion published his debut video in September of the same year. At that time, he was merely 17 years old and, as a newbie creator, initially not many people were tuning in to his channel. In the spring of 2019, his channel began to expand as a result of some of the videos he uploaded receiving millions of views. By the age of 20, he became quite famous and now, at 22 years old (at the time of this writing), enjoys a massive following. He was born on Dec. 12, 2000, in Houston, Texas, and will soon turn 23.
