Streaming platform Kick has been under fire over the past year for the kind of content some of its creators are producing.
One of the most notorious examples being Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, who was arrested in April 2025 on multiple charges after publicly harassing people in Bonifacio Global City and other areas around Metro Manila.
Now, another Kick streamer, Clavicular (real name Braden Peters), could be looking at years behind bars after being arrested live on camera in Arizona.
The 20-year-old is known for streaming content focused on intense fitness routines and self-improvement, most recently showing off his before-and-after pictures of his apparent looksmaxxing.

However, his Kick account was temporarily banned last December after he appeared to run over someone he called a 'stalker' with his Cybertruck during a livestream, though police chose not to press charges.
Peters was arrested on the evening of 7 February and formally charged during a court hearing that was also broadcast to his viewers. The court has scheduled a preliminary hearing for February 26.
Court documents online show that Peters faces two Class 4 felony charges, including possession of a forged instrument and dangerous drug possession or use. He's also facing a Class 1 misdemeanour for using a fake ID to enter a bar as a minor.
According to TMZ, he was initially held at Scottsdale City Jail before being transferred to the Maricopa County Jail.
Peters’ attorney challenged the forgery charge, explaining that merely possessing a fake ID wasn't enough to constitute fraud.
But the judge disagreed and ruled sufficient probable cause to proceed with all three charges. If convicted, Peters could be looking at some serious jail time.
Both the forgery and drug possession charges are Class 4 felonies.
For someone with no prior felony record, each carries a maximum sentence of 3.75 years in prison, according to a Dexerto report.
Meanwhile, the fake ID misdemeanour can result in up to six months in jail, plus fines of up to $2,500.
If Peters is found guilty of both felonies and the judge decides to stack the sentences back-to-back (or 'consecutive' sentencing), he could face up to 7.5 years, Dexerto noted. Add the six months for the misdemeanour, and his total maximum time behind bars could reach eight years.
On the other hand, if the judge runs the felony sentences at the same time (or 'concurrent' sentencing), the maximum drops to 3.75 years in prison, plus potentially another six months for the misdemeanour.
The final sentence will depend on whether he has any criminal history and how the judge decides to structure the punishment.
After his court appearance, Peters took to X, calling his arrest 'straight up political persecution'. He posted: "Getting a 25 thousand dollar bond and 2 felony charges for being inside of a bar is insane."
