Clavicular is speaking out about his overdose.
In April, the 20-year-old controversial “looksmaxxing” streamer — whose legal name is Braden Peters — was taken to the emergency room after he overdosed while livestreaming in a Miami restaurant. Following the incident, PEOPLE confirmed that Peters's publicist stopped working with him over his drug use, and Peters told his followers on a livestream the day after the overdose that he wouldn't be “doing any more substances for a little while, hopefully forever.”
During a May 13 interview with Logan Paul and Mike Majlak on the IMPAULSIVE podcast, the content creator continued to open up about his hospital visit, admitting that he had been “overdoing” his relationship with “stimulants.”
As the hosts were discussing the incident, Paul asked Peters if it was a “wake-up call” to him.
“Yeah, no, absolutely,” he responded. “I haven't taken a drug since.”

Paul then told him it will be a “challenge” for Peters to develop a “healthy relationship with alcohol,” to which he replied, “I will never really drink because it's just so toxic and disrupts a lot of your different growth pathways to such an extent that I could never really drink.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Peters — who has publicly shared that he believes he is neurodivergent — said that he was using drugs “as a code to come across as like a normie.”
The internet personality, who is known by millions of followers as a member of the “looksmaxxing” community — a controversial sect of the internet populated by young men who strive to maximize their attractiveness in often extreme ways — has regularly drawn criticism for a string of extremist and, at times, overtly racist acts on his livestreams, including the regular use of a racist slur and admitting to using illegal drugs, including meth, to maintain his appearance.

Peters has also faced legal trouble over the past several months.
The content creator was arrested on battery charges in March after he reportedly provoked a fight between two women and then posted the video online.

In April, influencer Alorah Ziva sued Peters for allegations of battery, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress, per a complaint obtained by PEOPLE. (Through his attorney, Peters denied the claims and disputed the “characterization of events.”)

Peters was charged in May with a misdemeanor over an accusation that he “did unlawfully and knowingly discharge a firearm” at the Francis Taylor Everglades Wildlife Management Area in the Everglades, per court docs obtained by PEOPLE.
After video of the livestream, where he appeared to repeatedly shoot a dead alligator, circulated online in March, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission wrote in a March 26 statement on X that it was “aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator,” adding that officers were “looking into the incident,” but did not name Peters specifically.
An attorney for Peters told PEOPLE at the time of his misdemeanor charge: “No animals or people were harmed. We are confident that once the full picture is understood, people will see this for what it is."
