YouTube sensation JiDion managed to successfully stage Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios in his US Open quarterfinals.

It’s also not the first time that JiDion and hair clippers have appeared hand-in-hand at a sporting event.
Earlier this year he was trimmed in the fourth quarter of an NBA game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis.
US tennis legend John McEnroe couldn’t believe what he saw as JiDion wore a Louis Vuitton cape before being booted out of the New York venue.
“Seems like an odd timing for this,” the man they call “Superbrat” said in a comment.
“Now we have seen everything.”

Tennis writer Ben Rothenberg of Racquet Magazine spoke for many when he called JiDion’s behavior “deeply odd.”
The YouTube star, who has more than 5.8 million subscribers, is famous for his prank-style vlogs and videos.
He started uploading online in 2018 and his popularity is increasing every year due to the extreme nature of the clips.
He was arrested in France last month and later confirmed to his supporters that police tried to “arson” him for lighting a candle in an iHOP bathroom.
In January, JiDion was banned indefinitely from popular platform Twitch after launching hate attacks against fellow streamer Pokimane.
