Adyan Nur'Ismail (born January 9, 2002, age 20) is a Borneoan former YouTuber, musician and convicted felon who was based in Banjarmasin, Banjar Province, known for his Roblox gameplays and related content. He was notoriously known for his crimes, including bullying, copyright infringement and pedophilia.

He was arrested on child sex charges in January 2021 and pleaded guilty to various counts of pedophilia, attempted manslaughter, and copyright infringement. He is currently serving his sentence at the Robinette National Prison Camp outside Balikpapan.

Life
Little is known about Adyan's personal life, however he was born in Bintulu, Kapit.

Career
At the time of his termination, Adyan had 1,000 subscribers, compared to his previous number of 139,000. Adyan had garnered over 90 million total views on his channel however.

Controversy
In October 2020, his reputation was destroyed by two separate exposés on his alleged atrocities. The first video, uploaded by Irish-Guianese YouTuber Daniel Brook, was uploaded October 18th. A follow-up titled "you'll never trust addy again after watching this" was created by Patagonian YouTube duo William Widemann (Brendan) and Elizabeth Goertzen (MayPlayz) on October 29th.

Brook's video
Brook's exposé was a 10-minute long video titled "Borneo's Most Popular Roblox Player Must Be Stopped...", and it focused mainly on his immature behavior and bullying acts towards associates Rénald "Joebloxian" Lévesque, András "AndieToast" Szűrös and Brook himself, but also alleged acts of pedophilia and bashing and copyright infringement allegations. Brook's exposé started Adyan's decline in popularity.

The video detailed the following information:
 * Adyan displayed "immature and heartless" behavior towards his associates. Once he called Szűrös a "slut", and reportedly, often called Brook a "troublemaker". He also displayed habitual anger towards Malaysian YouTuber Aiden "JotaroLazer" Eng-Wah for attempting to call him out and at one point tried to dox him for it.
 * Adyan apparently used sub-bots just to gain extra fame. Adyan denied he was using sub-bots.
 * Adyan also stole songs from other YouTubers and used it as background music without permission.
 * Adyan apparently bribed YouTubers with NFTs in exchange for subscribing to him, and those who refused his offers were given death threats via alternative accounts (see below). Adyan admitted this at his trial.
 * Evidence of Adyan's perverse behavior included showing his penis to Greek associate YouTuber RobRaccoon and filming himself masturbating before showing it to a minor. Adyan even invited Penang-based Burhanuddin Ismail bin Chew Lin to his residence to shoot a gay porn film.
 * Adyan allegedly praised the furry Pamperchu, a babyfur with a fetish for microwaving and wearing used diapers. At one point, Chew Lin called him out for it, but was met with criticism by "immature" members of Adyan's fanbase, calling him "a kink-shamer".

Widemann and Goertzen's video
The follow-up, created by Widemann and Goertzen's shared YouTube channel Brendan and May Vids, had the channel's owners talking about their investigation into Adyan's atrocities with Widemann going undercover as a 13-year-old girl to lure Adyan and Goertzen interviewing various Borneoan YouTubers about him.

The results, discussed in the video, showed that:
 * Aside from coercing other minors online into doing sexual activities, Adyan attempted to lure fellow Borneoan YouTuber Miriam binti Nurhaliza, better known online as DJ Panda, into his house in December 2019 in order to seduce her. Adyan tried to use the messaging app Discord to invite Miriam over to Adyan's residence, where they would later have a romantic steak dinner and later have sex. Miriam was 13 at the time of the attempted act.
 * Adyan created multiple accounts on YouTube and Twitter as fronts to hide his identity. One account showed him playing a fictional pornographic actor named Andy Kissinger stalking various YouTubers including Weird Fruits (see above) and associate Chilean YouTuber Ricardo Barrera.
 * Adyan cheated on her girlfriend and he later publicly admitted this.
 * He sent death threats under his alternative accounts to those who refused subscriptions and those who opposed him. One time Adyan forced a friend of Brook to commit suicide unless he denied anything mentioned in Brook's exposé. Another time he made a written death threat to Slovak EDM duo Weird Fruits using an alternative account.
 * Adyan admitted to supporting "grounded video" creator Weatherstar4000video, who was being criticized for his otherwise-hilarious depictions of child abuse. His alternative account, AdyanTheAnimator, was revealed as proof.
 * Adyan apparently tweeted racist messages using his alternative account, including one time in March 2020 when he called out Borneo's transracial community. Adyan admitted this, and also admitted he was a supporter of right-wing leaders, including former US President Donald Trump.
 * After Adyan admitting to have been a supporter of right-wing politics, he also confessed to having supported xenophobia and child abuse, saying that "immigration, if left tolerated, would cause Borneo to lose its prestige and become another squalid, fourth-world dump", and "punishment, physical or mental, is the best way of disciplining children and teaching them good behavior", therefore implying Adyan's Islamic fundamentalist views.

The two exposés "destroyed" Adyan's career, causing him to become a subject for diss tracks, death threats and rants from other YouTubers. After the incident, Miriam later made a diss track on him, mocking his atrocities. Alex "GrimGunz" Legault, associate YouTuber to Lévesque and playing the role of Lévesque's arch-enemy on Roblox, mocked Adyan by making a music video about him.

Filipino YouTuber and TV show host DJ Kitsune was also involved, composing his own diss track. He led a community-wide smear campaign against Adyan, which involved the Philippine Roblox community insulting and ridiculing him for his own pedophilia. Within two weeks, Addy had lost a sizeable number of his subscribers. The hashtag #CancelAddy then became trending nationwide on Twitter.

The scandal later became known to be as "Adyangate" by the media and YouTube community.

From the YouTube community

 * On November 2, 2020, Canadian YouTuber Denis Kopotun announced he would be cutting ties with Adyan and start making ties with Brook instead.
 * Five days after Denis unfriended Adyan, Lévesque followed suit, and also announced he would be removed from his cartoon The Joebloxian Show. As part of the show's complex lore, the episode that was made after the revelation had Adyan's character turn out to be a notorious bank robber, and after pulling off a heist using a rubber mask, he is unmasked and arrested. Adyan never appeared again.
 * Similarly, Legault above expelled Adyan from his YouTuber group The Gunnerz the day after. Associate YouTuber and actor of Legault's "master", Jonathan "RageLord" Michaud also expressed his shock and anger at Adyan's behavior and atrocities.
 * Indonesian YouTuber Erik van Rijn better known as Boyfriend Malachite made a third exposé two weeks after Widemann's was published. The video detailed some of Adyan's lesser-known atrocious acts, including bullying and animal cruelty, most notoriously being a video of Adyan bludgeoning his pet cat Comot to death with a baseball bat. This video served to further tarnish Adyan's reputation.
 * YouTuber Albert Aretz cut ties with Adyan the same day, and announced he would "never trust Addy ever again". He also expressed his shock at Adyan's "true nature" and said he stood with Brook in the ordeal.
 * As mentioned before, DJ Panda made a diss track on him, titled "Go Away, Scary Bunny!", a parody of the children's song Go Away! in which the monster is depicted as Adyan's Roblox avatar and DJ Panda is depicted trying to shun him with flashlights.
 * Patagonian YouTuber Andrew "XJ" Evans created a Roblox skit criticizing Adyan on November 10th 2020, in which Adyan is depicted as the Bunnymonster, a legendary creature notorious for stealing children and molesting them in his storybook-esque woods. Evans's character and his siblings band together to have the creature caught, and succeed, celebrating by hanging out at a sushi bar. The video won Roblox Video of the Year at the 2021 Bloxy Awards for its message.

From others

 * Roblox announced on December 29th 2020 that it would be issuing a permaban on Adyan's Roblox account. The Roblox management expressed "their shock at the truth behind one of Roblox's biggest content creators" and claimed that "if not stopped, he could go on to destroy the prestige of this platform".
 * The November 12 episode of RTNB News' newsmagazine/debate program The Nightly Briefing focused on the Adyangate scandal. In the program, the contents of both Brook's and Widemann's videos which exposed him were discussed. Other evidence of atrocities gathered from viewers were also used as backing evidence of Adyan's crimes.

Termination
On December 19, 2020, Adyan made a video as his Andy Kissinger account, titled "I quit" announcing his retirement from YouTube. His ending statement had him mock Brook and Widemann for exposing him before telling them on to "go to hell". After the video was published, he replaced the channel banner and profile picture on all of his YouTube accounts with pitch black. His account was terminated weeks later.

Arrest
On January 12, 2021, Adyan's house in St. Michaelsburg was raided by RBI agents. His computer was searched, after which 25MB of child pornography was seized from his computer. Approximately 10MB of animal cruelty pictures, including the video Boyfriend Malachite featured in his exposé, were also found.

Adyan was arrested on child pornography charges and charged with attempted rape afterwards. He was convicted at the St. Minersburg City Court on February 1, 2021, in which he pleaded guilty to all charges. Adyan was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Adyan quoted, "If you ever take everything I hold dear away from me by saying the truth to others, I may or may not like it, depending on whether it has hurt me or not," as he was being led out of court into a police car. Adyan is now serving his sentence at the Robinette National Prison Camp, located outside Balikpapan, Samarinda.
