#jaden lore

He was born May 17, 1999 in Nebraska. His middle name is “Patrick.” His family includes one younger sister. His parents are said to be separated and he allegedly has a strained relationship with his father. I choose to believe that, if true (big if there; Nick is the primary source of this claim), this is because his dad is a football coach and Jaden’s sport of choice in high school was basketball. Nick has tried to allude that Jaden's dad was physically abusive towards him, but this could just be Nick being an asshole.

His family is said to have had a dog that died in the early 2020s. He likes dogs generally, but hates pitbulls. He is also against animal breeders.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Courage the Cowardly Dog scared him as a child. Even as an adult, he is sensitive to horror-related content, hence why there are multiple compilations of him screaming.

He has suffered from acid reflux since childhood and has a lot of stomach problems and bad reactions to food. He also has mild scoliosis which, combined with his height, has led to him having back problems into adulthood.

He was in chorus in middle school, though not because he wanted to be. They sang a lot of High School Musical songs, which Jaden has mentioned having an especial distaste for. He has mentioned disliking musicals generally.

Jaden claims to have experienced bullying in middle school which led him to, in quote, becoming a “fighter.”

Due to both excessive talking, namecalling other students, and physical fights, Jaden was placed in some special education classes in middle school.

For all that fighting, he allegedly had a traumatic experience in high school that contributed to his anger issues. The exact details vary and are sourced largely from groyper snark forums, but he supposedly experienced some form of sexual violence at the hands of a pair of black male students and this incident made him more racist as a result. I do not believe he has ever publicly addressed these claims and they do initially give me the vibes of something a hater would make up and Jaden has stated that there was only one black student at his high school who was "anime autistic."

His political career began when he was in high school and made a snarky tweet about the anti-gun poster that an English teacher had in her classroom. This tweet went viral, leading Turning Point USA to reach out to him. At this point, he had already been accepted to Kansas State University, so he brought that connection with him to college.

Allegedly, one of Jaden's friends from his school days (pre-college) later came out as gay, though he was reportedly unaware.

Jaden attended Kansas State University as a Political Science major with the intentions of becoming a lawyer. He was on the Dean’s List for multiple semesters (if any of you in places that do not use such terminology, that basically means he got  good grades). It is important to note that Jaden actively dropped classes that he found himself ideologically disagreeing with, such as a class on immigration that portrayed the actions of the US in other countries in an overly negative light.

The only person I could find who claims to have been a classmate of his during this time described him as “awkward and incredibly cringe,” though Jaden did have a girlfriend while there and there was also his activity with Turning Point. On that note:

There was no TPUSA chapter at Kansas State prior to Jaden’s arrival, so he founded the chapter, served as its president, and ended up making it the largest chapter in the Midwest and one of the largest in the US generally, leading to him being invited to various events, including Mar-a-Lago and CPAC. According to Jaden, his chapter was featured in the campus newspaper in a positive light almost weekly until his big cancellation (more on that later).

During his time with TPUSA, Jaden had many disagreements with the ideologies espoused at the time being pro-LGBT and diversity and legal immigration when he considered himself more traditional, Christian, and pro-white. He has also mentioned that there were a lot of dodgy characters present who were clearly trying to sexually prey on the high school and young college students there. He has mostly made a big deal about the men preying on boys because, ewww, gaaayyyy, though clearly there was some gender neutrality here as he has described the TPUSA higher up who knocked on his hotel room door at 2am offering to have sex with him as a “fat black woman” (I am sure someone more TPUSA-savvy than I could narrow down who that was).

During his time at CPAC, Faith Goldy introduced Jaden to Nick Fuentes. The two of them became fast friends and Jaden participated in the Groyper Wars that summer. Other members of TPUSA attempted to get Jaden to disassociate from Nick, but that clearly did not happen.

Jaden resigned from Turning Point and founded America First Students, which was supposed to be an even more right-wing and traditionalist college group. However, he started it in the spring semester of 2020 and covid shutdowns ultimately kept the group from going any further.

Jaden had made multiple controversial tweets since his high schools days (recall the one making fun of his high school English teacher that got him started with TPUSA to begin with), including some that bothered his Kansas State classmates, but in June of 2020, a month after George Floyd’s murder, he made a tweet “congratulating” George Floyd on having been drug free for a month, followed with a tweet parroting the claim that Floyd had died of a drug overdose rather than asphyxiation. This went extremely viral and led to students and even non-Kansas State students petitioning to get Jaden expelled and his family to get doxxed while Jaden received several death threats. The Kansas State football team was even saying they would boycott if he was not expelled. This did not happen and Jaden made even more incendiary tweets, such as saying that Breonna Taylor was shot because she was too fat for the police officer to miss. Jaden states that the incident that led to his eventual expulsion was when he said “White Lives Matter” during a Zoom meeting.

Nick fiercely defended Jaden during this endeavour and had America First tech specialist Simon Dickerman make a website dedicated to a student who had sent death threats to Jaden by posting tweets she had made in the past featuring racial slurs so that any Internet searches for her by potential employers would immediately see that.

Of his many tweets on perceived racialised incidents, the one time that Jaden did side with the black person was the “Central Park Karen” incident where a white woman called the cops on a black birder for asking her to put her dog on a leash. Jaden mentioned being annoyed with people who do not leash their dogs. In general, he has mentioned being annoyed by people with poorly behaved pets. 

Shortly after his expulsion, Nick invited Jaden to live in the basement of a house he had recently inherited in Berwyn and serve as the treasurer to America First. Jaden states that he lived there alone for several months as construction was going on before anyone else, including Nick himself, moved in. During the time while they were living together, Jaden felt that Nick crossed several boundaries with him, such as cleaning his apartment and buying him amenities he had not asked for while he was gone or ordering him soup when he caught covid. During this time, Jaden only bought his food and clothes by ordering them online or through DoorDash because there were so many people of colour in the area and being around them at the store made him nervous.

Jaden was with Nick and others at the US Capitol for January 6th, though none of them entered the building. The most noteworthy tale Jaden has of that day is that someone gave him a Pop-Tart.

Jaden had had a falling out with Nick’s associate, Identity Evropa/American Identity Movement leader Patrick Casey due to a humiliating defeat in the game Rust. He had spoken derisively of Patrick since then and it increased once Patrick turned on Nick after January 6th when Nick proceeded to have AFPAC despite being investigated for his presence there. It is important to note that, since Jaden’s falling out with Nick, he and Patrick have buried the hatchet and are reportedly close friends now and allegedly in each other’s group chats and everything. I can confirm that Jaden does regularly comment on Patrick’s streams asking for his attention if he wants to game with him.

Jaden served as Nick’s travel partner during the White Boy Summer Tour of 2021 and the videographer for much of the trip, which became the White Boy Summer Tour movie. Apparently, the two of them clashed some during the trip. According to Nick's side of things, Jaden was being “degenerate” by drinking all the time, talking about how horny he was from things girls DMing him, gambling, joking about hiring a sex worker to rub his feet, and becoming physically affectionate with him whenever he would drink, which Nick found quite shocking in his trad way. According to Jaden’s side of things, Nick was bothered by Jaden DMing with Ella Maulding (the go-to groypette of this era) because “no e-girls,” was creepy by singing “Malibu” by Miley Cyrus to him while he was driving, and got mad at him for leaving BakedAlaska’s house to pick up Woozuh from the airport without inviting him along. During this trip, Jaden alleges that Nick tried to get him to watch the show Euphoria with him, which he found offputting because of the excessive nudity, while Nick insists that they watched the first three episodes together, but he proceeded to binge the rest alone and that Jaden was upset because he thought they were going to watch it all together.

He punched TreyPolitics at some point (presumably during White Boy Summer?), reportedly because of Trey's tendency to creep on underage girls. Trey did not confirm the reason, but did post a picture of the aftermath in which Jaden did make his nose bleed.

As for the Ella Maulding situation: Jaden claims that she was obsessed with him and she constantly DMed him and he was not even that interested in her, but they did make out at the party after Nick’s big speech in Texas at the end of the White Boy Summer Tour. He says that she offered to go down on him and he rejected her and ultimately ended up blocking her because she kept on trying to message him and add him on different platforms. Ella claims that it was a more mutual thing until the party and that she was put off by him groping her when they made out and he asked her to go down on him and she rejected him because she “doesn’t do that.” According to her, she lost interest in him around that July or August of 2021, but he dragged things on until November and said he wanted to “support their family.” I think they are both liars, but that is just my opinion.

Jaden started dating a new  girl in December of 2021. She lived two hours south of Berwyn and Jaden would spend entire weeks at her place for the next few months. Jaden reportedly made an effort to keep her from meeting Nick, though Nick did see her a few times walking around with Jaden the few times she came up to Berwyn, such as on New Year's Eve when Nick was allegedly revving his car at the two of them in the alley to make Jaden jealous. The relationship reportedly lasted until at least some time in 2022. 

Based on multiple pieces of filmed evidence, Jaden appears to dislike confrontation and will start shaking and shutting down when someone remotely pushes back against him in person. Nick has claimed this as well, going as far as to say that Jaden cried multiple times during their disagreements, though this could be Nick exaggerating, as, unlike the shaking thing, there is no video evidence.

Jaden says that the only time he heard Nick speaking about a woman in an amorous way was when he saw a woman at some rightwing event in big, stompy boots and Nick said he wanted that woman to stomp on him in those boots. Related: Jaden says that Nick bought him a pair of Doc Martens at some point, which he rarely wore, not considering them to be his style.

During late 2021, Jaden was present during hangouts with HelicopterMoney, including when Nick allegedly tried to ask an assistant of Peter Thiel’s for funding and seeing Spiderman: No Way Home in theaters. The latter is also the event in which Nick infamously claims that Jaden got drunk and tried to kiss him, which Jaden denies.

Jaden’s friendship with Nick is said to have become strained from late 2021 on, ultimately culminating in Jaden resigning from America First in April of 2022. He made a statement on his Telegram, which made the parting sound amicable, but it ultimately heated up after the fact when Nick cried about him on his stream for the next few months. The two provide inconsistent accounts (not just inconsistent between each other but within their own statements) about what exactly led the friendship to fall apart and who lost interest first. 

Nick claims that Jaden was an alcoholic who constantly drank himself to unconsciousness. Of the many photos that Nick had of Jaden while unconscious that he infamously posted across social media after their falling out, Nick claims that he took them to show Jaden that he had an alcohol problem. Jaden denies being an alcoholic and says that he was not even drunk in all of the pictures and that Nick was just taking pictures of him sleeping because he is a creepy weirdo who may have been attracted to him. Nick would go as far as to say that Jaden tried to get him drunk to have his way with him. Jaden does admit to having offered Nick beer when he would visit him in his apartment, but denies forcing it on him. In fact, he has a tale about Nick coming to his apartment one day and talking about how he had been thinking all day about whether or not he should drink alcohol and thought maybe he should, to which Jaden claims that he told him he felt that him drinking in that situation would have been a bad idea. 

Jaden does appear to believe the claims that Nick searched his furniture with a blacklight for semen after he moved out of the apartment, despite Nick insisting that it was a joke and that the pictures floating around that allegedly depict that are fake.

According to Nick, Jaden wore silky blue underwear on account of the fact that he had sensitive skin on his genitals that was prone to chafing. Jaden has reluctantly confirmed this, calling Nick’s focus on this fact weird, though neither have confirmed how Nick came to discover Jaden’s underwear (was it when he did his laundry?) or how he knew why he needed it. Frotting without lube will do that to you, I mean what?

Jaden and fellow former Nick friend and AF member Simon Dickerman would later appear on the Kino Casino, a show of these rightwing cringe reactor guys who, among other things, hate Nick. This was where much of the Nick lore was revealed, from the more serious, like speculations that Nick acted as a federal agent and botted views, to the more silly, such as when Nick was floating an idea about them all wearing balaclavas at events. Jaden still collaborates with the Kino Casino from time to time and even visited them in Canada once.

One of the major sources of income during the leadup to Jaden’s departure from AF and after leaving were massive superchats he received from a donor. Groypers have repeatedly accused this donor of being Jaden’s sugar daddy based on alleged doxes of his old social media that revealed that he was gay and attracted to twinky guys and allegations that he said in DMs with another member that he took Jaden to Disneyworld after meeting him in person for the first time after AFPAC III and then meeting with him multiple times in person afterwards. Jaden has denied knowing the identities of his anonymous superchatters including this one (though he was the moderator in Jaden’s chat for some time, so they clearly must have at least DM’d?) and has asserted claims by said superchatter that all of the talk about being gay was simply jokes and the thirsting over guys on his old Tumblr account was because it was run by his ex-fiancée.

Shortly after Jaden's departure from AF, groypers reportedly descrated the grave of a deceased loved one of Jaden's and posted pictures of it online, with Teddy Feaser changing his Twitter name to GraveyardGroyper to taunt him about it.

The next time Jaden would directly talk to Nick would be over a year after Jaden had departed AF when Jaden went onto LeafyIsHere’s stream to talk about the claims that Nick knew that Ali Alexander of StopTheSteal fame was sexually preying on underage groypers. This fell apart when Nick came onto the stream, only talking about Jaden’s suspicious superchatter and officially dropping the claim about the post-Spiderman kiss (Nick had previously accused Jaden of trying to kiss him, but did not tell the Spiderman story specifically until that stream).

He has mentioned that he does not believe in therapy or trust doctors more broadly.

Jaden is pretty secretive about his current location (beyond it being in his home state of Nebraska) to avoid being doxxed again. He has mentioned that he lives in the middle of nowhere and has hinted that he lives in an all-white community.

Jaden was previously a fan of Lil Uzi and Kanye West, having attended a concert during the Donda Tour in Chicago with Nick. More recently, he has expressed an appreciation for musicians like Oliver Anthony and Morgan Wallen. "The Hell Song" by Sum 41 was his top song on Spotify in 2024 (I'm guessing he doesn't know what it's about), so that is presumably also reflective of his current music taste.

He really likes energy drinks and, on the alcohol front, Trulys.

Jaden is still a fan of basketball. He is especially a fan of Luka Dončić (in spite of their opposing views on High School Musical) and, within the past few months, even traveled to Los Angeles to see him play in a Lakers game in person.

Jaden’s other hobbies include hiking, fishing, and hunting.

Jaden does not appear to currently be in a committed romantic relationship (though he could be hiding it to avoid getting his significant other doxxed the way the girl he was with at the time of his departure from AF was). He has mentioned that he avoids giving his information to girls at bars and such who ask for it, telling them that he does not use social media and does not tell them what he does for a living, knowing that his infamy could be off-putting. He considers himself “redpilled” when it comes to dating and has mentioned that ignoring women is the best way to get their attention and that he never buys a drink for a girl first and only interacts if they initiate it. 

He was a fan of Tucker Carlson, supposedly serving as a source for a now-abandoned project Tucker was making about how Nick is supposedly a federal agent. The two met in person once and talked about pheasant hunting. However, once Tucker interviewed Nick with minimal pushback, Jaden's opinion on Tucker changed.

A portion of his income these days not made from streaming and possible sugar baby activities is made from sports gambling, of which he is fairly adept.
