Mini Majk, known from Ekipa Friza, revealed a painful truth about his childhood. In a candid interview he spoke about the tragedy that led him to a children’s home: his mother killed a neighbor.
Growing Up in the Shadow of Violence
Mateusz Krzyżanowski, better known as Mini Majk, is today a recognizable influencer who approaches his career with humor and distance. Few people, however, knew that his success is rooted in a dark and dramatic past. In a new interview promoting the biography „Mini Majk. Wielka historia” („Mini Majk. A Great Story”), the YouTuber revealed that he was placed in a children’s home after his parents were arrested.
We ended up there because our parents went to prison. There was a lot of alcohol, arguments and violence. During one of the drinking sessions a tragedy happened – a man died – Mini Majk said in a conversation with Mateusz Szymkowiak.
„She Took a Hot Kettle and Hit Him With It”
When asked about rumors surrounding the killing, the influencer admitted that his mother had indeed taken the life of their neighbor. According to his account, it happened during an alcohol-fueled quarrel – the woman struck the man with a hot kettle, causing his death.
I remember it as if through a fog. Mom took a kettle and hit him with it. It was a beating that ended in death. Then both she and Dad went to prison – he said.
Mini Majk’s parents were released from prison when he was about eight years old. Unfortunately, the family was unable to rebuild itself at that point – alcohol once again destroyed their bonds.
Life After the Tragedy: Loneliness and Struggle
After his mother was stripped of parental rights, Mini Majk and his brother were placed in a children’s home. He spent his entire childhood there – without visits from his mother and without hope of a quick adoption. As he recalls, his mother promised that she would come for him someday – but it never happened.
I waited for her in front of the children’s home. She didn’t come. I only saw her again at the funeral – he said with regret.
Today he says plainly that he does not visit her grave, because he does not want to maintain contact with the person who „left him in hell”.
From Ekipa Friza to Autobiography
Although his childhood was dramatic, Mini Majk has shown that it is possible to overcome the hardest start in life. He gained popularity through his participation in Ekipa Friza, and later built his own brands and influencer career.
In the book „Mini Majk. Wielka historia”, which will be published on October 29, he openly describes his struggle with trauma, addiction and the attempt to find meaning after years of pain.
Mini Majk Today
Today the 31-year-old influencer openly speaks about his mistakes and lessons from the past. Although at one point he fell into alcohol addiction himself, he managed to break free from it.
Everyone has moments in life they are not proud of. What matters is drawing lessons from them – he says in one of his interviews.
