Influencer ‘Clavicular’ Hospitalized After Apparent Overdose During Live Kick Stream

The scare underscores how live-stream culture can turn risky behavior into a real medical crisis.

Overview

  • Braden Peters, 20, who streams as Clavicular, collapsed on a Kick broadcast in Miami’s Brickell district Tuesday and later said Wednesday he had returned home after hospital care.
  • Miami Fire-Rescue said crews were dispatched to a medical emergency in Brickell but were told the patient had already been driven away by companions and they could not confirm his identity.
  • Video from the stream showed Peters growing disoriented with slurred speech before losing consciousness as a companion was heard offering him Adderall.
  • Peters’ representative told NBC News he was hospitalized after a presumed overdose, and reporters say hospital staff have not identified which substances were involved.
  • Peters is known for extreme “looksmaxxing” tactics such as “bone smashing” and has discussed drug use to stay thin, and Florida wildlife officials are probing a separate video of individuals shooting a caiman.
