Oblivion did not expect a quick stop inside a Japanese convenience store to turn into a viral controversy. However, a livestream from Japan on June 8 has now led many social media users to compare the Kick streamer to Johnny Somali, a content creator who became known for repeated controversies during streams in Asia. The incident happened while Oblivion was traveling through Japan with boxer Ryan Garcia. During a livestream, Oblivion entered a FamilyMart store with a cameraman following closely behind him. Within moments, an angry store employee approached him and physically escorted him out of the shop.
The situation became even more tense outside. Although Oblivion had already left the store, the employee continued holding onto him while contacting local police. The streamer and the people around him appeared confused as they waited for officers to arrive.
