Good job guys, you all gave him the clout he wanted with this Wiki page. Let’s make a wiki page of that mother who used her kid’s trauma for views too while we’re at it. Make a wiki page for all the clout chasers instead of people who actually deserve it like “robcdee” who actually spreads kindness in Japan.

Lost my faith in people.

Ismael Ramsey Khalid, popularly known by his alias, Johnny Somali, is an American-Ethiopian Kick live-streamer who lives in Japan.[2]

Good job guys, you all gave him the clout he wanted with this Wiki page. Let’s make a wiki page of that mother who used her kid’s trauma for views too while we’re at it. Make a wiki page for all the clout chasers instead of people who actually deserve it like “robcdee” who actually spreads kindness in Japan.

Lost my faith in people.

Early life

Khalid was born into a Habesha family in 2000, he claims to have been born in Somalia as a child soldier, though the claims of him being a child soldier have no backing.[3][4] Khalid and his family moved to the United States when he was five and he grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona. Khalid later attended Arizona State University, but dropped out to focus on full-time streaming.[citation needed]

Career

On his YouTube and other video streaming platforms, Khalid mostly streams himself as a tourist traveling in different countries.[5] He began streaming in May 2023, after getting banned off Twitch, he moved to Kick before receiving temporary suspensions from Kick.[6]

Controversies

During his travels to Japan, Khalid made anti-Japanese taunts towards the Japanese people living there,[7][8] which include statements about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagaski,[9][10] and threats of bombing Japan with nuclear weapons.[11] Several times after these comments, he was assaulted and called racial slurs by some locals who recognized him in public.[12][13]

In August of 2023, Khalid, who was masked, and Jeremiah Dwane Branch who was recording for him went into a hotel construction site in Osaka, where he then yelled "Fukushima" at the construction workers. After the construction workers kicked them out, they were both arrested on suspicion of trespassing.[14][15][16] In September they were arrested on the suspicion of conspiracy of obstruction of business.[17][18]
