NELK Boys under fire for two massive meetups after YouTube ban Instagram: nelkboys, ausgod[jwplayer mgzBNoPb]The NELK Boys are known for their wild pranks and massive fan meetups \u2014 but these gatherings have come under intense scrutiny amid the current health crisis, and it doesn\u2019t look like they\u2019re stopping anytime soon. For those unaware, the NELK Boys are a wildly popular group of YouTubers best known for their outrageous pranks \u2014 as well as their equally outrageous fanbase, which seems to turn up in droves for a chance at hanging out with the squad wherever they travel. While it\u2019s no surprise that these gatherings have warranted police action in the past, this time around, the NELK Boys are facing extreme criticism for drawing crowds due to the ongoing health situation. Because of this, students at Illinois State University face potential fines and suspensions for being involved at a NELK party near the school \u2014 but that wasn\u2019t enough to deter the YouTubers, it seems. https:\/\/twitter.com\/defnoodles\/status\/1303787630769758209?s=20 NELK is once again facing criticism for holding two massive gatherings in the span of a single day, with the group uploading videos to their Instagram story that showed an enormous throng of fans at two different locations in Jersey Shore. The meetups appear to be to commemorate the launch of their new merchandise, which might be getting them booted out from the house they\u2019re renting in the area, if their Instagram caption is anything to go by. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CFIsbAfjbuS\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Although this is far from the first time the squad has come under fire for their meetups, it does mark a huge statement, as YouTube has also banned the group from their platform in wake of their Illinois State University rager. Claiming they were \u201ccreating a large public health risk,\u201d the NELK Boys are now unable to upload footage of their insane meetups to the website, potentially discouraging such behavior (a la Bryce Hall) \u2014 but unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t seem that they\u2019re interested in doing anything else other than going \u201cFull Send.\u201d With critics across the net flaming the creators for hosting and even seeming to encourage these gatherings in spite of the danger, there\u2019s no telling what will come out of the situation, should they continue their tours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
