"He has done a Will Smith" - Sidemen's Miniminter responds to Tommy Fury after the boxer told him not to mention his daughter's name
Popular YouTuber and prominent member of Sidemen, Simon "Miniminter," has responded to Tommy Fury's recent call out. For context, on February 24, 2024, Fury posted an Instagram Story in which he warned Miniminter not to bring up his daughter's name. The professional boxer also said mentioning her name again would result in a "problem":
"Simon from the Sidemen - say whatever you want to about your mate, KSI, who lost. But don't ever mention my daughter's name again. Me and you is going to have a problem. Keep my child's name out of your mouth."
In a YouTube video titled Tommy Fury Called Me Out... Simon compared the 24-year-old's antics to Will Smith's shenanigans at the 2022 Oscars. He elaborated:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been called out. You may not have seen the recent drama that's gone about. Basically, Tommy Fury has called me out on Instagram. He has done a Will Smith and said, 'Keep my daughter's name out of your damn mouth!'"
