“Looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular’s YouTube channels have 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 terminated the creator’s original channel back in November 2025.”
Once an original YouTube account is removed, the user is prohibited to make or operate new channels. Deleting Clavicular’s current page is simply part of the company’s terms of service.
The platform explained that the controversial influencer, whose real name is Braden Peters, posted content that provided access to websites that violate YouTube’s rules.
A source close to the situation told People that Peters “did a pretty good job of obscuring that he was associated with that channel.”
YouTube launched an investigation and found new channels that were being operated by the controversial social media personality.
“As soon as YouTube found out the channels existed, they knew that they needed to take those down,” the source added, revealing that the company had been “tracking” Clavicular amid his rising popularity.
The insider also divulged that YouTube is “taking a closer look at him and making sure there’s not going to be any more copies popping up.”
Page Six has reached out to YouTube for comment.
Peters reacted to his channels being removed in a Thursday post on X, writing: “Very sad news this morning. My YouTube channels @ LiveWithClav & @ ClavLooksmax were terminated this morning with no warning or explanation.”
The streamer expressed that his content included “free courses” he created to “help empower young men to be the best versions of themselves.”
Peters also assured his followers that he and his team “worked hard” to follow the social media app’s guidelines.
The New Jersey native first gained popularity in 2025 for his “looksmaxxing” content, which focuses on an individual maximizing their physical attractiveness.
Since rising to fame, Peters has amassed over one million followers across TikTok, Instagram and Kik.
He also operates a private online academy called “Clavicular’s Clan,” in which he shares guides that will allegedly “guarantee” physical transformation.
Peters made headlines earlier this month after suffering a suspected overdose during a livestream. The content creator first alarmed viewers when he began fading out on camera while at a restaurant with some friends.
Per a TikTok video, Peters was then carried out of the Brickell establishment by his security team and friends. He was placed in a black vehicle that was parked in front of the fire truck.
A Miami-Dade EMS dispatcher also called in a “20-year-old male overdose” around 5:46 p.m. local time, at the location where Peters was livestreaming, per TMZ.
“Just got home, that was brutal,” the content creator wrote the next day above a selfie on X — giving fans a look at his bloody face.
“All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.”
That night, Peters shocked fans by making an appearance at a Miami club.
Just one month prior, Peters was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery and criminal conspiracy to commit battery in Florida, after Page Six revealed in February that he was attacked by a fellow reveler after being kicked out of a New York Fashion Week party.
Peters is now involved in an ongoing investigation for the alleged shooting of a dead alligator that was found in the Everglades, which allegedly happened while he was livestreaming.
“The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator,” the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission wrote in a statement on X. “FWC officers are continuing to look into the incident and will provide additional information when available.”
