The confrontation happened while Adonis was streaming live. In the beginning of the clip, he can be heard telling the local to “back off.” During the argument, Adonis called the man his “Romanian dog.” The local responded by saying, “You don’t know how this country works.”
As the exchange became more intense, the local moved very close to Adonis and allegedly spat on him. Seconds later, Adonis punched the man, and he fell to the ground. People nearby quickly gathered around them. In the video, Adonis can be heard asking bystanders to call the police.
Local reports say officers arrived at the scene. The Romanian man reportedly refused to go to the hospital and was treated by medical staff at the location. It remains unclear what legal steps were taken after Adonis was detained. Officials have not shared detailed public statements so far.
After the incident, Adonis posted a short clip from the movie The Equalizer 2 on his X account @Adonisboom. The film stars Denzel Washington. Along with the clip, he shared a long message that many people found hard to understand. It read:
“February 22, 2026 update Kinfolk .. 12 scope, my drop lips sink ship Awake but not up, Insides hurt, Feeln on John q, Burn edges surroundings on hot comb, Please keep to body, gate kept translation, Boy shakin but tall on Nat turner.”
Earlier in his career, Adonis also appeared on season 10 of America’s Got Talent in 2015. He received approval from all four judges during auditions but was later eliminated in the Judge Cuts round. On his YouTube bio, he writes that his goal is to become a better communicator. He says he traveled often to find his “right place” and moved from dancing into creating informative content.
For now, the investigation details remain limited. What started as a livestream about life in Romania has turned into a legal issue that is still unfolding.
