YouTuber ‘Ice_Poseidon’ Threatens Legal Action After Video Surfaces of Him Making “Racist” Comments at a Restaurant
Controversial YouTuber ‘Ice_Poseidon’ has threatened legal action after being accused of intentionally saying racists things in a public setting.
This comes in response to radio host and self proclaimed ‘anti-racism strategist’ Tariq Nasheed posting a video of the YouTuber on Twitter, captioned with some strong, accusatory words.
The video, posted on May 28th, depicts Ice_Poseidon and some of his friends/associates sitting in a restaurant type setting and outwardly making comments and jokes.
After a period of time, they get confronted by an African American gentlemen, who is clearly upset by what the group had been saying.
The situation becomes more heated and tense as time passes, and it appears that both parties get kicked out of the restaurant by the end of the video.
Suspected white supremacist “youtuber” Ice Poseidon and some of his alt-right affiliated buddies were in a restaurant in Los Angeles making slick little racist comments out loud around Black customers, and they ended up getting G-checked.

Upon seeing this tweet, the YouTuber replied with a threat to pursue legal action against the radio host.
Remove this tweet or I will have to start the legal process of sueing for slander.

Nasheed was apparently unfazed by the threat, essentially telling Ice_Poseidon that it was game on.

Of course this is not the first time that Ice_Poseidon has found himself in a spotlight of controversy; the content creator remains banned from Twitch after a 2017 swatting incident occurred as a result of him publicly revealing his location.
Whether or not he does decide to pursue legal action, it is worth keeping an eye to see whether this video and situation lands him in hot water yet again.
