What Happened to the Classic Jambassadors?

Many of us who grew up with Animal Jam Classic remember watching YouTubers, be it for the guides they made or the fun updates, they’ll always be known as legends of the community. But what happened to them? Who’s still making videos, and if not, what did they do after they quit? Read on to find out…

Note: We are counting original Jambassadors as those who received the Jambassador plaque in the first wave of recruitment.


ANIMALJAMMER330 / WOLFFEYCAT / LAUREN

Known as Lauren, Wolffeycat, and AnimalJammer330, she is known for her adventure guides, update videos, occasional vlogs and real-life crossovers.

Lauren never officially quit, but her last video can be found here. We reached out and asked if she had a message for the community, and she did! Here’s her note to all the beloved fans who may stumble across this article:

Though she’s stopped making videos, she maintains a public Instagram account open to the AJ community to follow!


APARRI

Aparri was the most-subscribed to Jambassador then and holds that title to this day, with over 300k subscribers. Early on, he was known for his trading and rare videos, updates, and even interviewed MightySquad, and later collaborated with many big YouTubers like Skorm and Wisteriamoon.

His Legacy video is “SONGS IN ANIMAL JAM!!”, released in June of 2015, is the second most viewed Animal Jam (Jammer-made) YouTube video in history at 2.3M views.

After nearly 5 years of Animal Jam YouTube, Aparri quit in December of 2018, releasing this video, but later created a follow-up in August of 2019 to address unanswered questions. The video also addresses his reasons for leaving; the dying YouTube culture, outgrowing the game, and loss of passion. He has since moved on to build his music career outside the Animal Jam community.


BEPPER

Known for her wide variety of Animal Jam videos, from testing myths to drawing in the Classic Paint Studio, her content will always stand out among the community.

Bepper’s Legacy video, oddly, is her video about the history and personal accounts of Fman122.
