After growing up in Hoboken, New Jersey, he began using substances in 2015. When his parents tried to stop him, he resorted to ordering substances to a PO box code, and eventually his parents gave up, resigning themselves to the fact that Clavicular was going to continue doing his lookxmaxxing. In his own words:"They realized that there was kind of nothing that they could do to stop my ascension."Subsequently, the article reveals the TikTok streamer's association with Adin Ross, as well as his run-in with the authorities, after he tried to get into the Varsity Tavern bar near Arizona State University.
