Alia Shelesh, better known as SSSniperwolf, has built one of YouTube’s most dominant channels, with over 35 million subscribers and billions of views. But currently, she’s locked in a grueling, three-year legal battle with her ex-husband, Evan “Sausage” Young.

She made an appearance recently on Twitch star Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 stream and shared the details of the ongoing legal feud with her ex-husband. She revealed that Young is suing her for more than just her current assets. She explained that he’s demanding control over her future earnings and even her social media accounts.
SSSniperwolf is in a Legal Battle Over Her YouTube Empire
According to Shelesh, the legal battle has been dragging on for three years and shows no signs of ending until sometime in 2026. She claims her ex-husband already received half of her assets in the divorce, but is still pursuing additional claims.
“He wants all my money. He’s already taken half of everything I owned, and now he wants half of everything in the future. He even wants the new channel I just made.”
Young argues that the SSSniperwolf channel was their joint venture, while Shelesh insists he is trying to take credit for her hard work and profit from her ongoing success. With millions of dollars at stake, the dispute has now been brought to light.
But as is the case with anything related to internet personalities, we never know the full truth. This could just be SSSniperwolf ‘s attempt at veering public opinion on her side by using Kai Cenat’s massive platform. Either way, we have no horse in this race, but boy, is this some crazy news.
Who is SSSniperwolf’s Ex-Husband?
Evan Young, better known online as “Sausage” or “MisterSausageBoy,” met Shelesh in 2013, just as she was beginning her YouTube career. The two bonded over gaming and later entered both a romantic and a business partnership. Their relationship, both personal and professional, lasted nearly a decade.
According to Young (via SVG), they had a longstanding understanding that revenue would be split evenly, since he was allegedly heavily involved in early content production. He claims that he played a significant role in the early days of the SSSniperwolf channel, recording gameplay footage, writing scripts, and managing behind-the-scenes operations.
Court documents cite his contributions as recording gameplay for Call of Duty and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, scripting dialogue, and editing videos, while Shelesh was the one on camera. Young’s lawsuit goes further, alleging that after their breakup in September 2022, Shelesh began locking him out of shared business accounts, signing sponsorship deals without his knowledge, and creating new channels while pocketing all the revenue.
All in all, he believes he is owed at least $1.2 million in earnings since their separation. Shelesh, however, frames the lawsuit as an attempt by her ex to live off her success indefinitely. On Cenat’s stream, she admitted that it feels “horrible” to hand over part of her income to someone she believes is no longer contributing.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens. But what are your thoughts on this situation? Do you even know who SSSniperwolf is? Let us know in the comments!
