Influencer Clavicular has been hospitalized following a “suspected overdose.”
According to a Tuesday, April 14, report by TMZ, a live stream by the influencer, real name Braden Peters, was cut short after he “suffered a suspected overdose Tuesday night and has since been hospitalized.” Us Weekly can confirm the report’s accuracy.
An X video of the live stream, shared by a fan that night, showed Clavicular, 20, seemingly disorientated while sitting in a bar with friends who attempted to speak to him in front of a camera.
Clavicular, a prominent figure in the internet’s looksmaxxing community who rose to fame after allegedly tapping his face with a hammer to achieve chiseled cheekbones, is seen rubbing his eyes in the X video. “How f***ed up are you?” a friend is heard asking the influencer, who replies, “Dude, I’m shot.”
Another member of Claviular’s group is also seen placing a glass of ice water onto the table in front of Clavicular, who ignores the glass before stretching back in his seat. Later in the clip, the influencer’s head is seen dipping over to another friend’s shoulder beside him. The footage cuts out moments later.
News of Clavicular’s health comes weeks after Us Weekly confirmed he was arrested for battery in Fort Lauderdale. Taken into custody on March 26, the social media star was charged with misdemeanor battery after a fight broke out between his girlfriend, Violet Marie Lentz, and Jenny Popach, who went viral herself after breaking into the Hype House in June 2020. Clavicular was present for the incident.
Just hours prior to the arrest, Clavicular’s controversial social media content struck a significant chord, going viral after showing him shooting an already dead alligator while on a boat in the Florida Everglades. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were aware of the situation and Us Weekly understood at the time that Clavicular got permission from the boat’s driver to shoot it.
A statement from the commission was shared via X in light of the footage circulating online. “The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator,” it read. “FWC officers are looking into the incident and will provide additional information when available.”
Clavicular’s looksmaxxing antics, embraced by an online community who “obsess over physical self-improvement in the hope that it’ll improve their dating odds” per a February report by GQ, have sparked controversy in the past. Among his efforts, the influencer claims to have taken crystal meth to curb his appetite and inject himself with mail-order testosterone.
