British authorities have arrested the famous TikToker known as “Uncle J1” following the spread of a series of controversial videos on his TikTok account, in which he was seen singing and shouting near passengers on London Underground trains.

The clips showed the digital entertainer raising his voice disruptively while sitting next to commuters, with one woman wearing a green shirt quickly moving away from the seat to escape his sudden shouting. In another video, Uncle J1 continued singing loudly, saying, “Bro, the man is out, understand me, the man is here to entertain,” before adding romantic lyrics: “Baby, I love you.”

The British Transport Police responded immediately to these incidents, with Chief Inspector Chris Casey stating, “This behavior is unacceptable. An immediate investigation was launched, which led to the arrest of the individual after reports of the videos were received.”

Uncle J1, who is followed by tens of thousands on TikTok, explained that the videos were meant as jokes and imitations of other content creators’ styles. In a later clip, he said, “I was just joking and didn’t intend to bother anyone,” denying that he deliberately harassed the woman appearing in the video.
