The group of pranksters posted their video in January 2015, with the title “Coke Prank on Cops”. They fooled the cops in a video by telling them that they had coke in the back of their car. The officers assumed coke as cocaine, but in reality, they meant to say Coca-Cola. Nelk Boys later fall into a controversy after the Los Angeles Police Department warned them by releasing a statement where they informed the public that the prank was illegal. The video is the second most viewed video on their channel.

Forgeard added another member, Stephen Deleonardis to the team in May 2019. He found Stephen’s drinking and smoking challenge video funny and entertaining, which made his entry into the group. In February 2020, two other members, Salim Sirur, and his cousin, Jay joined Nelk.

Nelk hosted a flash mob in September 2020, where nearly 200 people gathered around on campus at Illinois State University. The gathering of mass people was a violation of COVID-19 regulations. Due to that, their YouTube was demonetized by YouTube. Later, the group was caught at a New Jersey house where they had gathered nearly 1500 people. The police in Seaside Heights soon broke up a gathering, and Nelk boys were kicked out of the house by the landlord.

The group made an announcement in November 2020, that they had hired a John Shahidi as Full Send Entertainment and Nelk, Inc.’s President. Jesse Sebastiani had left the group in 2017, but he came back to the group in 2021. This time, he didn’t appear in Nelk’s main videos, but he was participating in pranks. In fact, he began a new mini-series “Shithole” on a separate YouTube channel, which would present his new lifestyle.

Nelk repeated their Coke Prank on Cops in Colombia on 1st February 2021. As a consequence of the prank, one of the members, Sirur was detained by the Medellin police for a short period.  Likewise, an arrest warrant was filed against Kyle Forgeard on March 23, 2021, in Texas, due to which, the group was unable to upload their new video.
