A short clip featuring popular streamer Clavicular has caused controversy, as a confrontation with a bystander who objected to a nearby microphone led to the influencer clashing with him.

Key takeaways:
  • Controversial streamer Clavicular triggered a massive online debate about creator entitlement after aggressively dismissing a bystander's request not to be filmed in public
  • The streamer has a history of extreme, dangerous stunts, including a staged Cybertruck hit-and-run and injecting his underage girlfriend with unregulated peptides.
  • Due to his violent content and the promotion of illicit looksmaxxing substances, Clavicular has been hit with multiple bans from both YouTube and Kick.

The altercation occurred at a party, where an onlooker tapped the influencer on the shoulder and said, "I don't want a microphone near me, no microphone."

Rather than de-escalating or respecting the request, Clavicular doubled down on the camera's presence, replying, “You're in public.”

Whether or not Clavicular had the right to film in public or should have respected the man's wishes and put the microphone away is the topic of contention.

The interaction divided opinions, as it was posted on X, with one reporter observing that the bystander needn’t have made a big deal of the situation and that one option is to “simply walk away when you don’t wanna be on camera.”

Other reactions differed somewhat, with another poster calling out the lack of respect on Clavicular's part. A follow-up comment also observed that perhaps Clavicular wouldn’t have been confrontational without his bodyguard alongside him.

Long before the microphone incident, the 20-year-old streamer built a notorious brand around extreme "looksmaxxing," advocating for dangerous and pseudoscientific body-modification practices like "bonesmashing" and steroid abuse.

In November 2025, during a livestream, Clavicular drew widespread attention by injecting his then 17-year-old girlfriend with unregulated peptides to alter her jawline, representing extreme new territory for the looksmaxxing movement.

Perhaps the most controversial incident came on Christmas Eve in 2025, when Clavicular was driving his Tesla Cybertruck in Miami. When a fan appeared in the hood of the vehicle, sticking out his tongue, perhaps provoking the influencer, Clavicular decided to put his foot on the gas – as a thud was heard, seemingly running over the man.

When the passenger asked if the fan was dead, Clavicular nonchalantly replied, “Hopefully.”

While critics slammed the incident as a vehicular assault, the complete lack of police intervention suggests this was a carefully orchestrated stunt, maximized for more clicks.

Regardless, following the incident, Clavicular even posted an AI-generated picture on X of him running over a fan – asserting, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

Fellow controversial streamer Asmongold even got in on the action, commenting, “I want to live in a world where, when a crazy stalker finds you and jumps onto the hood of your car while you're driving, and you run him over, it's not murder, it's natural selection.”

And in June, Clavicular caused controversy by calling France “a dogshit country” while criticizing its transport infrastructure and the poor quality of its WiFi.

Clavicular has been banned several times from video streaming platforms Kick and YouTube for a variety of incidents, namely the cybertruck incident and his unsolicited links to peptide suppliers related to his looksmaxxing techniques.
