Mike Martin, better known as DaddyOFive, was born on December 17, 1982 in Baltimore, Maryland. Growing up, Mike had a passion for making people laugh and entertaining others.
Mike is a proud father to five children: Jake, Ryan, Cody, Alex, and Mikey. He also has a daughter named Emma. Along with his wife, Heather Martin, known as MommyOFive on YouTube, the couple created a family vlog channel that quickly gained popularity.
In June of 2016, DaddyOFive began posting videos on YouTube, showcasing his family's daily life and pranks played on his kids. One of his most popular videos, "Dad destroys Sons Xbox One PRANK!" garnered a lot of attention and helped grow his subscriber base to over 700,000.
In October of 2016, DaddyOFive created a separate gaming channel called DaddyOFive Gaming. This new venture allowed him to share his love for gaming with his audience. However, both his main channel and gaming channel were eventually deleted.
Despite his initial success, DaddyOFive faced backlash for the pranks he played on his children. Many viewers believed the pranks crossed the line and were harmful to the kids. This controversy led to the deletion of his YouTube channels and a public apology from both Mike and Heather.
Since the controversy, Mike and Heather have taken a step back from social media and focused on their family life offline. They have expressed remorse for their actions and are working towards making amends with their children and the public.
While DaddyOFive's YouTube career may have ended on a sour note, he will be remembered for the entertainment he provided and the lesson learned about the responsibilities of being an online personality.
