History
= 2019-2020: Origins and initial popularity =
Fanum met half of the groups members while gaming online and met the other members while doing irl content.
The groups fifth member, Chrisnxtdoor originally joined the group as an editor. When Fanum had to go to Virginia, he and Davis, who was friends with Chris, went to Chris' home where he was living at the time. When Fanum entered Chris' room, he was editing a video, which he showed to him. Fanum was impressed with the video and knew he had found the groups editor.{{Cite web |last=Clowney |first=Jeremy |date=2023-11-09 |title=Fanum Is Your Favorite Celebrity's Favorite Streamer |url=https://www.gq.com/story/fanum-is-your-favorite-celebritys-favorite-streamer |access-date=2025-04-03 |website=GQ |language=en-US}}
The last member to join the group was Kai Cenat. Cenat joined the group after being discovered for his content in mid-2020. According to Fanum, Kai solidified his spot in the group while they were filming an outfit competition video at Walmart. The group felt the ending was missing "that punch", so according to Fanum they "thought about someone jumping in a little fountain, but nobody wanted to do it." As Fanum and other members of the group were arguing, Kai walked right in. Fanum said he was smiling and clapping as Kai did that.

Controversies
= New York Penthouse Eviction =
In August 2024, the group was unexpectedly evicted from a $30 million penthouse in the Manhattan neighborhood of Tribeca in New York City, just 4 days after moving in. The exact reason for the eviction remains unclear. During a livestream by Kai Cenat following the eviction, fans speculated that noise may have played a role. In response to this, Cenat said during the stream "We're in a two-story $30M penthouse, where’s the complaints coming from?"{{Cite web |title=AMP Evicted From $30 Million NYC Penthouse After Reveal |url=https://evrimagaci.org/tpg/amp-evicted-from-30-million-nyc-penthouse-after-reveal-2305 |access-date=2025-03-31 |website=The Pinnacle Gazette |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Quinlan |first=Adriane |date=2024-08-22 |title=Kai Cenat's Crew Has Taken Over Tribeca |url=https://www.curbed.com/article/kai-cenat-amp-crew-tribeca-luxury-rental.html |access-date=2025-04-01 |website=Curbed |language=en}} For a few days following the eviction, they were "homeless", until Bang Energy stepped in and helped them secure a different penthouse also in Manhattan.

= AI Robot mistreament =
In January 2025, AMP members Kai Cenat, Fanum and Agent 00 garnered controversy online over their treatment of a $70k AI robot during one of Cenat's livestreams. During the stream, they can be seen repeatedly knocking the robot down, as it struggled to stand back up. A clip from the stream of their actions also went viral online. Fans and critics expressed disgust for their actions online, with some feeling it showed a deeper reflection of power dynamics and a lack of empathy.{{Cite web |last=Art |first=Pop Culture & |date=2025-01-31 |title=Kai Cenat and AMP members slammed for 'disturbing' treatment of $70K AI robot on Twitch stream |url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/2525706/kai-cenat-and-amp-members-slammed-for-disturbing-treatment-of-70k-ai-robot-on-twitch-stream |access-date=2025-03-31 |website=The Express Tribune |language=en}}
