IRL streamer Modeen, whose real name is Mohammad Kubba, was confronted by UK police after setting off fireworks during a brief meetup with Kyle Forgeard of the Nelk Boys right outside Buckingham Palace. The stunt, which involved tossing fireworks into a crowd of tourists and passersby, quickly caught the attention of authorities. Despite the clear public safety concerns near a major royal landmark, Modeen was only spoken to and not detained or fined, sparking online backlash with some calling the police response “mild.”

This wasn’t the first time Modeen stirred controversy—he’s known for chaotic, unpredictable streams on Kick, including previous stunts that pushed boundaries. Kyle Forgeard and the Nelk Boys, known for their wild pranks, seemed caught off guard and uncomfortable during the incident, with Forgeard even saying, “No more fireworks.” The moment even prompted Kyle’s team to quickly get him away from the scene, highlighting the tension between content creation and crossing legal lines.
