Ramsey Khalid Ismael, better known online as Johnny Somali, has once again found himself in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Those familiar with the streamer will know all about his past controversies and allegations. He was infamously jailed during his time in Japan in 2023 and then in Israel in 2024. On both occasions, he was accused of troublemaking behavior.

The internet personality has now returned to the fray by hosting his first-ever South Korean IRL stream. At one point during the broadcast, the content creator walked straight onto a live music show and interrupted the performers. He was later removed from the area.

Clips of the incident quickly made their way to social media platforms. X account Johnny Limasso (@canceljohnnys) also shared the footage, writing (translated via Google):

"He has been repeatedly causing trouble by playing Kim Jong Un's TTS while drinking and breaking into an outdoor live show and getting kicked out."

Johnny Somali has once again drawn attention for a questionable IRL stream. For those unaware, the internet personality was previously banned on Kick and Twitch. He is now streaming on YouTube, where he has over 17K subscribers.

The streamer's first day in South Korea has already been marked by several controversial incidents, including the disruption of a live show. Another one of these incidents involved the content creator visiting an arcade and blasting music related to Kim Jong Un (via TTS).

One X post calling him out for the act read (translated via Google):

"Johnny Somali's annoying TTS/Media is back in Korea, Allahu Akbar is being played in the streets, and Kim Jong Un's TTS is being played in arcades."

Johnny Somali has been a controversial figure over the past couple of years. He has faced criticism from fellow streamers like Hasan "HasanAbi," who labeled him racist for his behavior in Japan (the internet personality had confronted locals by referring them to Hiroshima and Nagasaki). Another content creator Zack "Asmongold" also criticized him for the alleged harassment.
