Adyan Nur'Ismail (born January 9, 2002, age 20) is a Borneoan former YouTuber, musician, far-right political activist and convicted felon who was based in Singkawang, Pontianak, known for his Roblox gameplays and related content. He became notorious in Borneo 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. The verdict was overturned in April before he was arrested again with YouTuber Kadie Diekmeyer in September 2021 following the AddyVegan scandal.

Life
Little is known about Adyan's personal life, however he was born in Bintulu, Rajang. He is of mixed Sarawakian Malay and Banjarese descent.

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 three separate exposés on his alleged atrocities. The first video, uploaded by Irish-Guianese YouTuber Daniel Brook, was uploaded October 18th. Two follow-ups were uploaded on October 29th and November 12th, and were respectively titled "you'll never trust addy again after watching this", created by Patagonian YouTube duo William Widemann (Brendan) and Elizabeth Goertzen (MayPlayz), and "YouTuber "Fundamentalis Islam" Yang Munafik...", created by Betawi Indonesian YouTuber Erik van Rijn better known as Boyfriend Malachite.

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 Renald "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" Seow 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 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 Islamic scholar named after himself 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. He also revealed that he supported Weatherstar because of the punishments depicted in his videos, adding that "this is how every troublemaker needs to be treated".
 * 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 is the best way of making children behave", therefore implying Adyan's Islamic fundamentalist views.

Van Rijn's video
Van Rijn 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. This video served to further tarnish Adyan's reputation, which had already been damaged by the previous two videos exposing his atrocities. Acts covered in van Rijn's video are as follows:
 * Adyan sent van Rijn a video showing himself beating his cat, nicknamed Comot, to death with a baseball bat. He also admitted that he had killed his dog 5 years prior to the murder of Comot.
 * Alongside the attempted rape of DJ Panda, Adyan had already been using alternative accounts, including a fake account which he allegedly used to discredit Brook. One incident involved Adyan pretending to be a fan of pop-punk duo Linky and Luna and forcing Thomas Ahlström, who formed half of the duo, to show his private parts, although he refused and stopped all communication with the fake account before blocking it immediately.
 * Aside from Weird Fruits and one of Brook's friends, Adyan allegedly sent a threat of "damnation by Allah" to King Erik IV on his official Discord account, calling him a "delinquent enabler". Erik then retaliated, calling Adyan a "psychopath" and turning his damnation threats against him.
 * Another incident involved him raiding a furry Discord server, spamming messages wishing misfortune upon its members. Adyan also admitted he was a vocal opponent of the furry fandom, the rise of social media and the gaming community, calling them "troublemaking, unlawful delinquents".
 * Adyan not only bullied Seow and Szűrös, but had also bullied other YouTubers, including EightBits, a Bornean YouTube comedy duo, and Joshie, another Bornean YouTube comedian. He called Joshie a "libtard" and EightBits "indecent, uneducated, ignorant delinquents worthy of a punishment from Allah".
 * Adyan criticized the plot of the Nickelodeon animated series The Loud House, comparing the eponymous Loud residence to a "harem" and calling Lincoln "misbehaved". He has also extended his insult to the show's fandom, and requested to the Bornean Riksdag (Parliament) to ban the series from airing in Borneo. A bill was passed the banning the series, but was quickly vetoed by Prime Minister Joshua Bergström, citing the popularity of the series in the country as well as Adyan's and Joshua's contradicting political opinions.
 * A tweet from January 2020 was discovered, which had Addy showing his support for the Chinese Communist Party, calling them "moral saviors and defenders of the law", and comparing the Hong Kong protesters, the Falun Gong, Uyghurs, Tibetans and Christians to "disobedient, feral, immoral pigs". Addy refused to apologize, but deleted the tweet. He also revealed that he was a vocal supporter of authoritarianism, calling it "the only proper way to run a country" under the pretense of the effectiveness of usage of violence and punishment at "teaching the proper and moral ways of behavior to citizens".

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 exposes had been created 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 in the series 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.
 * 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-style 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 "Ustad Adyan Nur'Ismail" 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 accounts were terminated within a span of two weeks.

First 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. Michaelsburg City Court on February 1, 2021, in which he pleaded guilty to all charges. Adyan was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He quoted, "I hope someone who believes in me rises and makes Borneo proper again" as he was being led out of court. Adyan served his sentence at the Sven Hedin National Prison Camp, located outside New Gothenburg, Samarinda, before being bailed out for 1,500 Borneo dollars by his lawyer in April.

Release and second arrest
He would later return to YouTube, but was unwelcomed by members of the community, and start doing a far-right political blog on his alternative YouTube. He became engaged to Canadian YouTuber Kadie Diekmeyer (ThatVeganTeacher) in June 2021 and also became friends with fellow controversial YouTubers Bryant Moreland and Dominic Schmidt to much criticism, which would lead to the AddyVegan scandal and Diekmeyer and Adyan's second arrest in September.
