| — Josh on Instagram[1] | ||
On April 8th 2025, Josh flew to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for a vacation, he had previously announced in April 2024.
Denial of entry
Joshua's flight to Dubai gained a considerable amount of traction, going semi-viral with many various smaller creators tracking his activities from takeoff onwards. As Joshua didn't post hours after his plane landed, the fascination and genuine fear surrounding his visit brought many onlookers to the impending chaos.
Upon arrival on April 9th, Joshua was denied entry into the country for unknown reasons, but likely due to arriving there drunk, or his history of assault and public indecency. After being denied entry, Josh's social media posts indicated that he believed trolls were responsible for his deportation, though this is likely not the case, although several TikTokers and Redditors have claimed to have called the US Consulate in Abu Dhabi to warn them about his arrival.
Videos after being denied entry
After being denied entry, Josh posted a video on Instagram, sitting on a plane and visibly in distress, claiming he had been awake for 48 hours and was concerned he might "die due to sleep deprivation".
On April 10th, Joshua posted a second video on Instagram, after arriving back in New York City, announcing he will no longer post about his vacations beforehand (due to his belief that trolls leaked his past to the Dubai authorities).
