Early viral stunts
Before gaining widespread attention for the Subway incident, Jumanne attempted to build an audience through provocative public videos and music promotion.
Among these recordings were incidents in which he caused disturbances inside retail establishments, including knocking merchandise from shelves while referencing deceased rapper Pop Smoke.
The videos attracted criticism for their disruptive nature but also generated some online attention.
These early activities established the approach to internet fame that would eventually lead to his most widely publicized controversy.
Subway food contamination incident
In October 2021, Jumanne filmed himself deliberately contaminating food at a Subway restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island, where he was employed.
The videos showed Jumanne throwing ingredients onto the floor, stepping into food containers, and placing deli meats around a toilet seat.
He repeatedly called for rapper Meek Mill to notice him and offer him a record deal.
The footage spread rapidly online and generated widespread criticism concerning food safety and the potential consequences for customers.
Subway subsequently confirmed that he had been fired by the franchise operator.
In an interview with Newsweek, Jumanne acknowledged that he had deliberately staged the incidents to attract publicity.
Although the stunt succeeded in generating attention, it also became a lasting source of negative publicity that continued to follow him throughout his subsequent online career.
Reported iPad-pawning incidents
During 2024, accounts began circulating within Jumanne's community concerning his practice of purchasing expensive electronics with credit and subsequently pawning them to obtain gambling money.
According to these accounts, Jumanne purchased iPads using credit cards before selling or pawning the devices at a substantial loss.
The resulting cash was reportedly used for casino gambling, leaving him responsible for the original purchases regardless of whether he won or lost.
The incidents became a recurring subject of criticism because of the additional financial losses created before gambling had even begun.
The exact number of purchases and transactions has not been independently established.
Collaboration with Kanel Joseph
In October 2025, Jumanne received renewed attention following a collaboration involving content creator Kanel Joseph.
The collaboration introduced Jumanne to viewers who were not previously familiar with his content or history.
Community members regarded the additional exposure as a potential opportunity for him to expand his audience and improve his earnings from content creation.
However, some viewers criticized his subsequent lack of consistent follow-up content, arguing that he had failed to capitalize on the opportunity.
The episode contributed to broader discussions about Jumanne's inconsistent approach to developing an online career.
Appearance with Raud
In December 2025, Jumanne was associated with a livestream involving fellow content creator Raud.
The encounter attracted attention from viewers interested in potential collaborations between Jumanne and more established online personalities.
However, members of his community subsequently questioned why relatively little material from the encounter appeared on Jumanne's own channels.
The incident became another example cited by viewers who believed he was failing to take advantage of opportunities to expand his audience.
