'Looksmaxxing' influencer Clavicular, real name Braden Peters, was forced to end a livestream after a suspected overdose, according to reports.
The 20-year-old social media star, who is one of the main figureheads of the 'looksmaxxing' movement, which sees influencers peddle 'self improvement' advice in order to achieve the ultimate 'glow-up', was taken to hospital in Miami, where he’s currently in a 'stable condition', per The Hollywood Reporter.
Peters was livestreaming on Kick on Tuesday (14 April) when the broadcast abruptly cut off.
Concern grew among fans after footage began circulating online that appeared to show the influencer being carried into an ambulance by his security team.

Moments before the stream ended, Peters was heard telling a woman: "Holy s*** dude, I'm trying my best, but I'm f***ing destroyed right now."
He later sat down in a bar with friends, where fellow influencer Androgenic asked: "When did you last take blue?" as Peters slumped forward.
They then asked if he wanted an 'addy', a reference to the stimulant Adderall, a prescription medication used to treat ADHD.
The livestream ended soon after.
Androgenic has since taken to X to issue a statement on the matter.
"L backseat jesters," he began in a post shared earlier today (15 April). "I hadn’t seen him in this state before and he went from speaking to being fairly unresponsive in mere seconds.
"Within a minute we all realised the situation, turned the stream off, picked him up and rushed him to the hospital."
Androgenic continued: "I haven’t received an update but that’s likely a good thing - and the acute respiratory depression window should already be over with.
"And you guys should realise that stimulants can attenuate respiratory depression in some cases, but I didn’t push for it once I realised he was unresponsive."
Earlier this month, Peters walked out of an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, which aired over the weekend (12 April), after being questioned about his links to manosphere influencer Andrew Tate.
Host Adam Hegarty pressed him on why he associates with controversial figures such as Tate, to which Peters replied: "I see you want to make this political… You want to end [this interview] and talk about politics."
The interview followed footage of Peters chanting along to the Kanye West track 'Heil Hitler' alongside far-right commentator Nick Fuentes as well as Tate.
Tyla has reached out to Clavicular's representatives and the Miami Police Department for comment.
