Ramsey Khalid Ismael, widely recognized as “Johnny Somali,”recently made a controversial statement expressing a lack of remorse and self-preservation during his ongoing trial in South Korea. The internet personality shared his thoughts in a one-minute and sixteen-second video on X, where he solicited financial contributions through donations, power chats, and cryptocurrency.
In the video, Johnny Somali suggested that if his audience desires chaos, he is ready to be their “conduit.”He elaborated on his willingness to embrace chaos:
“If y’all give me the support and the donations, and the love; the power chats, the crypto donation… yeah, I’m ready, bro. If y’all want chaos, let me be your conduit. Let me be your bastion of evil. If you want to see anarchy, if you’re an anarchist, and you want somebody that is going to crash out with no remorse, with no sense of self-worth, with no sense of self-preservation, I will be your man.”
Moreover, he hinted at forming a “pirate gang,”a theme he appears enthusiastic about:
“I’m building up the Johnny Somali Pirates, this pirate gang from the beginning. And every n***a in here right now is going to be witness to what we’re going to create.”
Despite his fervent declarations, when a minimal response came from his audience, the 24-year-old streamer reacted:
“Only one yeah? Can I get, ‘Yeah!’ I’m ready to crash out in the streets and die for you n****s, bro!”
Additional context shared through his X account indicated that Johnny Somali was discussing terms with his management regarding a possible contract with the livestreaming platform, Parti. This arrangement reportedly would include a monthly payment of $10,000. Comments from users highlighted the importance of this deal as a motivator for his provocative behavior:
“Some context. Johnny Somali is speaking to his business people and management about cutting a deal with Parti (a 10K-a-month deal), and Johnny said he’ll be this degenerate to make this deal. Dude is a w**re.”X user @johnnysosmally wrote.
