History
Username
Sapnap's original IGN was PandasCanPvP. The name change came from Dream recommending to switch the word "pandas " to be backwards, making "Sadnap." Since that name was taken, it was changed to Sapnap, leading to his current in-game name.[4]
Meeting Dream
Sapnap met Dream on MCPVP in 2013 after Dream shared his Skype. Sapnap joined Dream's Skype, and through this, the two became buddies.[5][6][7] They have been friends since Sapnap was twelve years old and Dream was thirteen years old.
Meeting George
According to Sapnap, he met George on MunchyMC.[6] During George's stream on June 22, 2020, when asked how George met Sapnap, George said that he may have met Sapnap through a Minecraft server. However, George walked back and said that Dream most likely introduced the two, as Dream and Sapnap had met first, but he was not entirely sure.[8]
Prior to George's move, Sapnap traveled to the UK to meet up with George.[9] Sapnap met George in person on March 4, 2022, and George posted several pictures on Instagram.[10] During the visit, Sapnap mentioned that one of his reasons for traveling was because George was sad and alone.[11] Sapnap also met up with Jack while in the UK.[12] At some point, Sapnap got an ear infection where both his eardrums were ruptured.[13]
Moving to Florida to live with Dream
In early January 2021, Sapnap asked Dream if he wanted him to move in. Dream found the idea interesting and asked Sapnap to move in the next day, and Sapnap to leave Texas the next day.[14] Dream later revealed that the reason Sapnap moved in was to answer the door if police came, to avoid the risk of Dream's face being leaked. In addition, Dream mentioned that since MCC 11, he got swatted almost daily which was why he needed Sapnap to open the door for him.[15] Upon arriving, Sapnap posted an image of him holding Dream's cat Patches.[16] The next day, Sapnap streamed. During the stream, Dream's voice and the sound of him knocking the door to his room can be heard in the background.[17] A while after Sapnap's move, Dream mentioned that they also tried to get George to travel to Florida at the time, but weren't able to due to travel restrictions with COVID-19.[18] The two lived together in a rented house until George moved to the US.[19]
Sapnap and Dream have also provided insight on their experience living together. In a conversation with HBomb in September 2021, Dream said that Sapnap is a good roommate and that he is clean, organized, and respectful.[20] In October 2021, Sapnap shared that he gets angry if he doesn't leave the house for over three days and that Dream didn't go outside.[21][22] A month after Dream's face reveal in an interview with Anthony Padilla, Sapnap revealed that Dream never left the house with him and that the two mostly interacted through Discord. They occasionally watched football, ate a meal together, or played chess, but life was mostly the same as before they lived together. When the power went out, they hung out more in person until it got too hot for Sapnap, who left the house to drive until the power returned.[23]

On January 25, 2022, Dream and Sapnap announced that they moved (but did not stay in due to construction[19]) to a new house they dubbed the "Dream Team House" in preparation for George's move to America.[24] On October 2, 2022, Sapnap picked George up from the airport. The three now live in the Dream Team House.[25]
Milo and Naomi
Sapnp revealed in a stream that he was going to get a cat and said he was thinking of calling him Milo. That day finally came on November 10, 2023, he did a stream showing Milo, but surprisingly he secretly got another cat because he felt bad just taking one, her name was Naomi and she was a little shy. Milo was very sociable and not that shy at all.
