Braden Peters, the 20-year-old American streamer and influencer better known as Clavicular, walked out of a live television interview on Israel’s Channel 13 after being repeatedly asked to apologize for a controversial video in which he sang along to Ye’s (Kanye West) song “Heil Hitler.”
The tense exchange occurred during an appearance on the popular current-affairs program Hatzinor (“The Pipe”). Host Guy Lerer pressed Peters on footage from a Miami nightclub earlier this year, where the influencer was filmed enthusiastically singing the track alongside far-right figures including Nick Fuentes, as well as members of the so-called “manosphere” who performed Nazi salutes.
Peters, who flew into Israel on July 10 aboard a private jet for a high-profile visit, defended his trip as an effort to show young Americansm particularly his large following on Kick and X, that Israel is a vibrant and safe destination.
“I came here… to show that Israel is a safe place,” he said, growing visibly agitated. “Why don’t you apologize to me for wasting my time? Why don’t you clean the page and talk about how much I’ve done for this country’s reputation?”
When the interviewer continued to press for an apology regarding the “Heil Hitler” clip and his past associations, Peters refused, stood up, and left the studio mid-segment.
