NEED TO KNOW
- “Looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular was hospitalized for “an apparent overdose,” PEOPLE can confirm
- The influencer appeared under the influence of unknown substances while live-streaming from a bar in Miami on Tuesday, April 14
- Clavicular appeared on the livestream with fellow influencer Androgenic before the livestream abruptly cut off
Controversial "looksmaxxing" influencer Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, was taken to an emergency room following a suspected overdose after his livestream abruptly cut off, PEOPLE can confirm.
The Miami-based influencer, 20, appeared alongside two other influencers in a livestreamed video filmed around a mall and restaurant in which he and his friends approached a young woman and spoke to several other people in the area on Tuesday, April 14. In the livestream, Peters is seen speaking with the young woman while appearing to be under the influence and exhibiting slurred speech.
"Holy s— dude, I'm trying my best, but I'm f—ing destroyed right now," Peters tells the young woman, and continues to repeat the phrase intermittently.
When the group settles in a bar, fellow influencer Androgenic, seated next to Peters in the video, asks him, "When did you last take blue?" as Peters' head appears to slump forward. Later in the stream, Androgenic asks if Peters wants an "addy," seemingly referring to Adderall, a prescription medication used to treat ADHD.
Then, the livestream abruptly cuts off.
It is not immediately clear which substances Peters consumed prior to the alleged overdose.
PEOPLE has reached out to a representative for Peters and to Miami City Fire.

Following the incident captured on the livestream, Androgenic addressed the situation on X.
"I hadn’t seen him in this state before and he went from speaking to being fairly unresponsive in mere seconds," Androgenic wrote. "Within a minute we all realised the situation, turned the stream off, picked him up and rushed him to the hospital."
Amid news of the suspected overdose, influencer Woah Vicky, who appeared on Peters' livestream several weeks ago, sent him well wishes on X. "Praying for clav," she wrote.
The incident comes just days after the influencer sat down with 60 Minutes Australia for a conversation that aired on April 12. Correspondent Adam Hegarty asked Peters about the “looksmaxxing” community, a controversial sect of the internet populated by young men who strive to maximize their attractiveness in often extreme ways, of which Peters is seen as a leader.

At the end of the interview, Hegarty asked Peters why he had spent time with “controversial figures” such as manosphere influencer Andrew Tate, after which Peters appeared to get angry.
“I see you want to make this political,” Peters responded, then referenced a recent interview he had with Piers Morgan where he insulted Morgan's wife after he felt the interview became “too political.”
“Too bad I didn't have time to look into anything about who your wife cheated with, but don't try and go down that line of questioning with me,” Peters told Hegarty. “I'm not doing any political jestering.” (Hegarty clarified in the interview that he is "not married.")
