\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNew Times caught up with the 20-year-old streamer at Bacara, the Miami Beach nightclub he co-owned. Here’s what that night looked like.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, New Times published an in-depth profile<\/a> by staff writer Alex DeLuca of Braden Peters, the 20-year-old influencer better known online as \u201cClavicular.\u201d The young streamer moved to Miami from his native New Jersey last year as the face of \u201clooksmaxxing,\u201d a once-niche internet subculture focused on radical physical self-transformation. <\/p>\n

Since moving to South Florida, he\u2019s drawn national headlines for allegedly hitting someone with his Tesla Cybertruck, partying<\/a> in a Miami Beach nightclub to Kanye West\u2019s antisemitic track \u201cHeil Hitler,\u201d and appearing in a video that showed him shooting an (apparently dead) alligator<\/a> in the Everglades. In April, he overdosed on a livestream in full view of his audience. He\u2019s since become nearly impossible to escape online, thanks to a sprawling ecosystem of clip accounts that slice his livestreams into viral moments for X, Instagram, and TikTok. <\/p>\n

To trace Peters\u2019 rise from a shy honor-roll kid to one of the internet\u2019s most divisive personalities, New Times spoke with former classmates, business associates, and others in his orbit. We also spent a morning in the operating room during his rhinoplasty and an evening at Bacara, the Miami Beach nightclub he co-owned. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what that night looked like.<\/p>\n
