Parti’s Controversial Decision to Unban Johnny Somali Stirs Debate
Parti, a prominent livestreaming platform, has found itself at the center of controversy following its decision to unban Ramsey “Johnny Somali”Khalid Ismael. This decision comes in the wake of an incident on March 22, 2025, when Somali gained notoriety for livestreaming himself dancing in boxers on the streets of South Korea, ultimately leading to his temporary arrest and the suspension of his channel.
Allegations of Collusion and Cover-Up
The situation escalated when Andrew “Legal Mindset,”a well-known YouTuber, shared a screenshot purportedly revealing a conversation between two users, “thecreator28″and “SwimmerNick,”allegedly discussing Parti’s management. This exchange included remarks suggesting a desire to delete video evidence related to Somali’s actions:
“thecreator28: Man lol. He’s done for huh.
SwimmerNick: Don’t be sad it’s over, he happy it happened.
thecreator28: Yeah lol. Should we delete the vid. Erase the evidence from the Korean feds lol.
SwimmerNick: Good idea lol. We should, we don’t want to but we should.
thecreator28: I know right lol.
SwimmerNick: If I ever get like this on stream please stop me.
thecreator28: Ok lol.”
If the authenticity of this exchange is confirmed, it suggests that Parti may be attempting to obscure Johnny Somali’s alleged criminal behavior in South Korea. Legal Mindset commented, highlighting potential legal ramifications:
“If this exchange is accurate, the Parti platform covering for Ramsey’s crimes in an attempt to actively impede law enforcement is insane.”
Unbanning Sparks Criticism and Speculation
Following the reinstatement of Johnny Somali’s channel, Legal Mindset declared:
“Today Johnny Somali was UNBANNED on Parti, effectively confirming that this little more than either an unsuccessful ploy to hide information or a marketing push, rather than a sincere intent to punish. As seen on platforms like Twitch, 24-hour bans only serve to drive traffic.”
As of now, Johnny Somali’s official channel on Parti remains accessible, drawing attention to the firm’s controversial policies regarding user conduct.
Calls for Investigation into Parti’s Practices
In an additional update posted on March 23, 2025, Legal Mindset escalated his allegations against Parti, accusing the platform of endorsing terrorism and engaging in illegal cryptocurrency transactions through its association with Johnny Somali.
He urged concerned South Koreans to report the platform to the Korea Communications Standards Commission, emphasizing the legal implications of Parti’s actions:
“Dear citizens, the website http://PARTI.com is in fact promoting terrorism and operating illegal cryptocurrency by supporting and generating profits from Johnny Somali’s criminal activities, which is clearly against the laws of the Republic of Korea. Therefore, all citizens are requested to promptly report this to the Korea Communications Standards Commission via mobile phone internet. Thank you.”
As of the latest updates, neither Parti nor Johnny Somali has publicly addressed these serious allegations, leaving the situation in a state of uncertainty and raising questions about the future of content regulation on livestreaming platforms.
