Controversial influencer Clavicular has become the centre of online speculation after a fake “coming out” post circulated widely on X.
The viral post, shared by account @N_S_N_B, included a fabricated screenshot claiming the 20-year-old — whose real name is Braden Peters — had publicly come out as bisexual. The post suggested he had spoken about feeling “more comfortable around guys” and referenced his collaborations with other creators.
The screenshot also included a longer, polished statement that described Clavicular as open about his sexuality and positioned him as an example of LGBTQ+ visibility in the streaming space.
False Claim Quickly Debunked
The claim was swiftly challenged, with a community note added to the viral post — which has amassed more than 2.7 million views — confirming it was not authentic.
“Clavicular has not announced he is bisexual. His official X account has no such post, and he has not posted at all since before March 22, 2026. The video is fabricated,” the note stated.
A review of his official account shows his most recent post was on 20 March, unrelated to the claims, further confirming the screenshot was fake.
Who Is Clavicular?
Clavicular is a polarising online personality known for his livestreams and “looksmaxxing” content — a niche corner of the internet focused on extreme methods to enhance physical appearance.
He has previously claimed to use a controversial technique known as “bone smashing”, which involves striking facial bones in an attempt to alter their structure. He has also spoken openly about using steroids to enhance his physique, stating it has impacted his fertility.
Ongoing Controversies
The influencer has been involved in multiple controversies since rising to prominence.
In December 2025, he appeared to livestream an altercation in which he struck a man who had allegedly been following him. More recently, in February, he was arrested on suspicion of possessing controlled substances — including Adderall and Anavar — and attempting to enter a nightclub with a fake ID. Those charges were later dropped.
Clavicular has also been associated with other controversial online figures, including Sneako and the Tate brothers. In January 2026, a video surfaced showing the group singing along to an antisemitic track by Kanye West, which drew widespread criticism.
He later dismissed backlash, saying it was “just a song”, though the incident reportedly led to bans from several Miami nightclubs.
Viral Misinformation
The fake coming out post highlights the speed at which misinformation can spread online — particularly when it involves high-profile or controversial figures.
Despite the claim gaining significant traction, there is no evidence that Clavicular has publicly discussed his sexuality or made any such announcement.
