Likewise, it also won the “Artists Music Guild” award for the “Video of the Year” in the year 2014.
And, after the video went viral, Sam and Nia viewed it as an opportunity to step into the blogging arena. That’s why they created a YouTube channel to post videos about their lives. Likewise, following the massive success of their first video, their channel began growing at a decent pace.

Controversies
In February 2017, Nia Rader and her husband, Sam, were ranked sixth on a list of “YouTube’s most shocking scandals”, released by the UK-based entertainment website Digital Spy’. And, Nia’s family channel saw a huge slump soon after its inception. In the year 2015, a vlog post on the channel showed Sam announcing that Nia was pregnant with their third child. Usually, such videos draw a lot of attention, and this vlog, too, was no exception and gained a lot of attention. As soon as the vlog was posted, the “comments” section was deluged with wishes.
Interestingly, even Nia Rader was unaware of the news. Her husband had tested the pregnancy all by himself, by collecting her urine sample from their toilet bowl. Then, three days later, another vlog posted by them announced a miscarriage. Then, this vlog was soon hit by a mob of haters, accusing the couple of faking both the pregnancy and the miscarriage. Later on, a report from a well-known maternity clinic suggested that a urine sample collected from a toilet bowl could never produce a concrete result.
Likewise, the couple had not recovered from the impact of this controversy when another controversy hit her. A leading website revealed that her husband, Sam had once been a member of a discreet dating site for married people and people in relationships known as ‘Ashley Madison’. This scandal again rocked Sam and Nia’s married life. And, while this dating site scandal continued, the couple attended the “Vlogger Fair” in Seattle. Moreover, their inability to answer questions regarding their scandals ended in a dirty verbal brawl between Sam and the media. And, after this incident, they announced a break from vlogging. However, they resumed after about a month from the day of the announcement.
