Social media influencer Clavicular has been rushed to hospital in Miami for a suspected overdose.
The controversial streamer had been livestreaming on the site Kick on Tuesday (14 April) when the broadcast suddenly ended. Fans became concerned after video footage, appearing to show the influencer being carried into an ambulance by his security team, began circulating online.
The influencer confirmed on Wednesday (15 April) that he had been released from hospital, writing on X: “Just got home, that was brutal.
“All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.”
He shared the statement alongside a photograph of himself with what appeared to be bloody marks on his face.
During the livestream on Tuesday, Clavicular could be seen telling a woman: “Holy s*** dude, I'm trying my best, but I'm f***ing destroyed right now.”
He then sat down in a bar with friends, with one asking him: “When did you last take blue?” as the influencer slumped over.
The friend then asked if he wanted an “addy” – referring to the stimulant Adderall. The broadcast cut out shortly after that.
The Independent has contacted Clavicular and the Miami Police Department for comment.
Clavicular rose to fame within the manosphere circles as a so-called “looksmaxxer” – a viral trend where men try to maximise their physical attractiveness. He’s become a popular figure among teenage boys, with Chloe Combi writing in The Independent that he has “a huge and growing Gen A boy following” thanks to his “belief that a young man’s highest priority is to be hot”.
Earlier in April, the influencer walked out of an interview with 60 Minutes Australia after he was questioned about his connection to manosphere influencer Andrew Tate.
The programme’s host Adam Hegarty asked why he spends time with controversial figures like Tate, with Clavicular replying: “I see you want to make this political… You want to end [this interview] and talk about politics.”
It came after he was seen chanting along to the Kanye West track “Heil Hitler” with far-right commentator Nick Fuentes and Tate.
The social media star has regularly made headlines for controversial behaviour over the last year. In March, Clavicular was arrested in Florida on an assault charge, being taken into custody on March 26. At the time, he faced one count of battery and was arrested on a warrant.
The day after, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced that they were launching an investigation into a viral clip featuring Clavicular riding an airboat with three other people while opening fire on an alligator in the water.
According to FWC guidelines, rifles and handguns may be used only for commercial alligator trapping, and under Florida law, it is illegal to kill, injure, possess or capture an alligator unless an individual is authorised to do so.
