“Looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular’s YouTube channel has been removed again following a series of violations on the platform.
A YouTube spokesperson confirmed the news in a statement to People on Thursday, saying, “We are terminating creators’ original channels in November 2025.”
If the original YouTube account is deleted, the user will no longer be able to create or run a new channel. Removal of Clavicular’s current page is simply part of the company’s terms and conditions.
The platform said the controversial influencer, whose real name is Braden Peters, posted content that provides access to websites that violate YouTube’s rules.
A source close to the situation told People that Peters “hidden his involvement with the channel pretty well.”
YouTube launched an investigation and discovered a new channel run by a controversial social media celebrity.
“As soon as YouTube learned of the channel’s existence, we knew it needed to be removed,” the source added, revealing that the company had been “tracking” Clavicular as it grew in popularity.
The source also revealed that YouTube is “investigating him closely and making sure that no more copies are circulated.”
Page Six has reached out to YouTube for comment.
Peters responded to the removal of his channel in a post on X on Thursday, writing: “Very sad news this morning. My YouTube channels @LiveWithClav and @ClavLooksmax were terminated this morning without any warning or explanation.”
The streamer said his content includes “free courses” he created to “empower young men to be their best selves.”
Peters also assured his followers that he and his team have “worked hard” to follow the social media app’s guidelines.
The New Jersey native first gained popularity in 2025 for his “LooksMax” content, which focuses on individuals who maximize their physical attractiveness.
Since becoming famous, Peters has gained over 1 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Kik.
He also runs a private online academy called “Clavicular’s Clan” where he shares guides that allegedly “guarantee” physical transformation.
Peters made headlines earlier this month after suffering a suspected overdose during a live broadcast. The content creator first alerted viewers when he started fading in front of the camera while at a restaurant with friends.
Peters was then removed from the Brickell facility by a security team and friends, according to the TikTok video. The man was taken into a black car that was parked in front of a fire engine.
According to TMZ, Miami-Dade paramedics also responded to a “20-year-old male overdose” at the location where Peters was live-streaming at around 5:46 p.m. local time.
The next day, the content creator wrote over a selfie of X, “I’m home now. It was horrible,” giving fans a glimpse of his bloody face.
“All drugs are just a coping mechanism to try to feel neurotypical when you’re out in public, but obviously it’s not a real solution. The worst thing tonight was my face falling out of the life support mask.”
That night, Peters shocked fans by showing up at a club in Miami.
Just a month earlier, Peters had been arrested and charged in Florida with misdemeanor assault and conspiracy after Page Six revealed in February that he was attacked by a party of revelers after being kicked out of a New York Fashion Week party.
Peters is currently involved in an ongoing investigation into the shooting death of a dead alligator found in the Everglades, which allegedly occurred during a live broadcast.
“FWC is aware of a video depicting people appearing to fire firearms at alligators aboard an airboat in the Everglades,” the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said in a statement regarding the X. “FWC personnel continue to investigate the incident and will provide additional information as it becomes available.”
