In the past year, 20-year-old Kelvin Peña, who is better known as his alter ego “Brother Nature”, has seen his star rise on Twitter after his wholesome videos where he talks to deers routinely go viral on the social media app.

Pena was so popular on Twitter that people were calling for him to get his own show.

Unfortunately for Pena the Internet is an unforgiving place. This afternoon Brother Nature was forced to make his Twitter account private after some of his old racist tweets from 2011/2012 surfaced online.

The reaction to Pena’s tweets were mixed on Twitter considering he was 12/13 when he made them.
Y’all. Brother nature didn’t BECOME problematic, he WAS problematic when he was 14.
I said some really stupid shit before I knew better too. Let me know when I’m getting cancelled.

Brother Nature having Nazi tweets in his archive is the only way this could've gone. Nothing is pure on this god forsaken app.
