Nothing is known about his parents’ names, ages or occupations, since BigBStatz has never posted any information on photos of his parents on his YouTube channel, or on his Instagram account. Nevertheless, he admitted that the nickname was made-up by his father who was very passionate about any help he could provide to his son to become a popular YouTuber. So his father took his time to make-up a name his son could use for any purpose and change from a short version to a larger one, and they both soon came to the “BigBStatz” as the final version of the nickname. He has two older sisters and two brothers, one older and one younger. He shared that in conscious age he never had the opportunity to grow with his father and his mother under the same roof ,as they divorced when BigBStatz was only two years old. He lived with his father and his grandmother along with his brothers, always visiting his mother on weekends. His sisters stayed with his mother.
