On Monday, Jidon Adams, also known on YouTube as JiDion, was taken into custody while livestreaming Monday night outside a McDonald's, where he and his fans were attempting to make contact with an alleged squatter.
How did we get here?
Adams' friend and fellow YouTuber, Skeeter Jean, says his Uncle Joe had been squatting in his grandmother's Woodhaven home. That was when he says they decided to move JiDion into the home in an effort to get the relative to leave.
