MAGA Soundcloud skater rapper, influencer, and streamer Dave “Black Dave” Willis is catching heat online after a livestream from South Korea went viral.
The video, which many claim shows him disrespecting locals, has stirred comparisons to controversial streamers like Johnny Somali and Vitaly, who both got into legal trouble abroad for similar antics.
Black Dave, who’s built a following through a mix of skate clips, music, and provocative livestreams, reportedly traveled to Korea to film content styled after Johnny Somali’s infamous IRL stunts.
Somali, whose real name is Ramsey Khalid Ismael, ended up facing charges in South Korea after pulling a series of offensive moves across Seoul - including making crude remarks and disrupting public places. He was eventually banned from traveling out of the country and pled guilty in court.
Likewise, Russian American streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy was arrested in the Philippines after a series of viral videos showed him bothering locals in Bonifacio Global City.
The Philippine Bureau of Immigration labeled him an “undesirable foreign national.”
With that pattern in mind, viewers speculated Black Dave was attempting the same kind of stunt-based fame abroad.
But when things started heating up in South Korea, he allegedly left the country fast. Some accused him of fleeing before authorities could step in, but Black Dave took to his platform to deny everything.
In a recent video response, he pushed back on the claims, saying:
“When the hate don’t work, they tell lies! I’ve never had any criminal charges in any foreign country or fled from any country. Defamation is no joke, and those accusations are serious. They will say anything to drive up the clicks though.”
Interestingly, this isn’t even the wildest thing that’s happened on Black Dave’s stream lately.
Before the South Korea controversy, he went viral for a livestream clip where he got knocked out on camera. The video made the rounds on social media, adding fuel to the chatter about his unpredictable content.
Do you think he crossed the line, or is this just another case of internet overreaction?
