Footage circulating online shows livestreamer Clavicular involved in a physical altercation inside a New York City nightclub. The clip captures a man approaching him aggressively on the dance floor before appearing to strike him.
The confrontation escalates quickly. The unidentified man moves toward Clavicular with his arms up. Within seconds, he appears to throw a punch. Bystanders immediately step in and pull the two apart before the situation can develop further.
The footage was filmed by someone close to the action. Multiple viewers have identified the cameraman as William Banks, a comedian known for elaborate staged stunts and viral content. Banks has previously created fake storylines including a jail arc and a stranded island bit that made it hard to tell what was real and what was performance.
This connection has kicked off questions about whether it was real or staged for content. Banks is known for playing an exaggerated character and creating scenarios that appear real but are actually scripted.
Livestreamers filming nightlife content often put themselves in unpredictable situations. Crowded venues with alcohol and limited personal space create environments where tensions can flare quickly. Having a camera rolling can either deter or escalate conflicts depending on the people involved.
