Canadian YouTuber Fique Ayub was arrested after falsely shouting “gun” in a crowded movie theater, along with two others, all for the sake of creating online content.
I love watching prank videos, but it’s crazy how quickly things can go wrong. Some pranks are just asking for trouble, and creators can really get into hot water if they go too far.
I just saw this hilarious video by Fique, who’s 23, called ‘Screaming In Movie Theatres’! Basically, he and some friends went to the movies and just started yelling as loud as they could – it was so funny!
On March 17th, popular YouTuber Fique, with over a million followers, filmed a video inside a crowded movie theater at a Landmark Cinemas location in Ajax, a suburb of Toronto.

At one point, he saw two people kissing in a movie and shouted, “ahhh kissing! Haram!”
During a different movie, he began shouting, which bothered other people in the theater and they asked him to be quiet.
After that, one of Fique’s friends playing along shouted that he had a gun. Almost immediately, Fique yelled that the person wasn’t joking and really did have a gun!
When he and his team exited the theater, the police arrived and told the creator they’d received a report of someone carrying a gun.
Fique quickly adopted an Indian accent and pretended to be filming a documentary. After more than 40 minutes, he was released, but later arrested when he posted the video online, where it gained over 600,000 views.
Police said that moviegoers had to evacuate a theatre on April 7 after several men shouted about someone having a gun. When officers arrived, they were led to three men who had already left the building.
After looking into the incident, officials stated that the suspects deliberately caused a fake problem to provoke a reaction they could record.
Fique Wamiq Ayub, 23-year-old Jaiden Joseph-Anthony Mosquera, and a 17-year-old whose name is being withheld due to his age, have been charged with disturbing the peace and vandalism.
The arrest is part of a growing trend of police targeting people who create dangerous prank content. For example, streamer Jack Doherty could face up to seven years in prison for blocking traffic while filming a video.
TikTok creator Heston James could face up to nine years in prison for a series of disruptive pranks he carried out in Arizona over several months.
Streamer Johnny Somali is facing up to three years in prison, potentially including hard labor, in South Korea due to the content of his broadcasts, which have caused significant controversy.
