Clavicular Banned from all Miami Clubs After Playing “Heil Hitler”

In the latest twist to the explosive controversy surrounding a group of online influencers at Miami Beach's Vendôme nightclub, prominent hospitality mogul David Grutman is said to be barring one of the key figures involved from his empire of venues. Grutman, often dubbed the "King of Miami Nightlife" and a Jewish entrepreneur behind hotspots like LIV, Story, and Komodo, has allegedly issued a lifetime ban on Clavicular, the fitness influencer caught up in the viral video where Kanye West's (Ye's) antisemitic track "Heil Hitler" was blasted during a wild night out.T

This comes just days after the January 17 incident at Vendôme, where Clavicular partied alongside controversial figures like Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, Sneako, and Myron Gaines. Videos showed the crew chanting along to the banned song's hateful lyrics, including Nazi salutes, prompting swift outrage from Jewish leaders, politicians, and the public. Vendôme itself issued an apology the next day, denouncing antisemitism and launching an internal probe, but Grutman, who doesn't own that club, seems to be taking independent action if the report holds up.

Grutman, a Miami native with deep ties to the city's vibrant scene, has built a billion-dollar brand partnering with stars like Pharrell and David Beckham. He's no stranger to controversy, having navigated everything from COVID shutdowns to legal battles over late-night booze sales. But this alleged ban underscores the growing pushback against hate in Miami's nightlife, especially amid a reported 400% spike in antisemitic incidents nationwide since 2023. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach and groups like the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation have already blasted the original event as "normalized Jew-hatred," and now the spotlight's on how industry heavyweights respond.

Clavicular himself doubled down in a separate video, declaring he's "not sorry" and would "do it again today," framing the stunt as a power move in a "Jewish club."As of January 19, 2026, there's no official confirmation from Grutman or Groot Hospitality – we've seen no statements on their social channels or websites. Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner has publicly called out the group for "disrespecting the Jewish community," adding fuel to demands for accountability.

This could ripple across Miami's club scene, where Grutman's venues are go-tos for celebs and high-rollers.
