Social media influencer Clavicular was rushed to the hospital following a suspected overdose that abruptly cut short his livestream.
Known for his ‘looksmaxxing’ content, the influencer was live when viewers noticed his speech becoming slurred, prompting his companions to rush to his aid.
Police radio communications revealed that authorities responded to a call at approximately 8:45 p.m. ET on Tuesday, reporting a 20-year-old male experiencing an overdose on South Miami Avenue in Miami. Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, is also 20.
TMZ broke the news, revealing that Clavicular was hospitalized after the suspected overdose incident.
During the livestream on the platform Kick, Clavicular was seen seated at a bar booth alongside two friends. At one point, a friend inquired, “How f***ed up are you?”
In response, Clavicular laughed and mumbled some incoherent words. Shortly after, a glass of water was placed before him, and he appeared to slump forward.
His friend asked him if he wanted an Addy, short for Adderall, three times before Clavicular appeared to slump over on the table in front of him. Shortly after that, the livestream cut out.
Videos circulated on social media appear to show a limp Clavicular being carried out to an ambulance by two men.

20-year-old Clavicular is known online for his ‘looksmaxxing’ content, urging young men to upgrade their looks through extreme and controversial methods such as facial ‘bone smashing’ and steroid use
There have been rumors that Clavicular uses methamphetamine to suppress his appetite and achieve his desired body proportions.
Clavicular is known online for his ‘looksmaxxing’ content, urging young men to upgrade their looks through extreme and controversial methods such as facial ‘bone smashing’, which he claims makes the bones heal stronger after they’re broken.
He also advocates for steroid use, admitting that he has taken testoterone since he was 14.
He believes being attractive is crucial to a man’s success, especially in getting attention from women.
This philosophy from the looksmaxxing community overlaps with beliefs espoused by incels, or involuntary celibates. These are men who have strong animosity toward women because they can’t find someone who wants to have sex with them.
In a recent interview on 60 Minutes Australia, Clavicular was asked about what incels had in common with his looksmaxxers and got defensive.
‘I’m not linked to that group in any way,’ Peters said of incels. ‘Looksmaxxing is self-improvement, right? So it’s about potentially ascending out of that category and so that would be one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that.’
The interviewer then asked him about his relationship with Andrew Tate, a social media personality who is under criminal investigation in the United Kingdom and Romania for allegedly running human trafficking operation.

Clavicular was arrested on March 26 near Fort Lauderdale, Florida on misdemeanor assault charges
Clavicular was spotted at a nightclub in Miami with Tate and white nationalist commentator Nick Fuentes in January.
‘You’ve obviously shared company with Andrew Tate and other, dare I say, rather controversial figures,’ the interviewer said. ‘Why do you spend time with people like that?’
Clavicular immediately disengaged, saying ‘all right, have a nice day’ before standing up and walking off.
On March 26, Clavicular was arrested in connection to a misdemeanor assault. Reporter Taylor Lorenz was the first to confirm this, saying that the arrest near Fort Lauderdale stemmed from an Osceola County Sheriff’s Office warrant from March 9.
Lorenz speculated the charge may be connected to a physical altercation involving his girlfriend, known as Violet, and influencer Jenny Popach.
The altercation between Violet and Popach unfolded during a Kick livestream earlier this year that racked up hundreds of thousands of views online, with the pair seen hitting and pulling each other’s hair inside a house before being separated.
Clavicular was taken into custody after he was filmed unloading a gun on a dead alligator in a Florida Everglades swamp. His arrest had nothing to do with this video.
