Walker is a Liverpool-born creator who is currently living in the south of Spain.

While there, it seems that he meets drug dealers and assorted criminals, garnering a following, but also facing ridicule for potentially exaggerating his stories.
In March of the previous year, Walker had openly ridiculed the police after he skipped bail in the UK and escaped to Sierra Leone via private jet, where he then established his life and charity work with children from the country.
He reportedly has more than 130 offences to his name and last September was found guilty of contempt of court for live-streaming from an Irish courtroom on TikTok while there, entering a guilty plea for driving-related charges.

In May, Ross Monaghan and Eddie Lyons Jnr were shot in Monaghan's bar in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol.
Both Monaghan and Lyons were believed to be Scottish mobsters in gangs.
The bloody assault was in front of customers who had been watching the Champions League final.
Following the incident, Walker visited the same bar, posting to his TikTok his experience.
He said: 'This is a message to any one of yous out here.
"Stay on point, because if you get caught slipping. That's what happens.
'Three people have been whacked, two people are dead. Have a nice day, bam bam."
It is understood that his actions were seen as disrespectful to the victims of the shooting.
Following the incident, it is believed that gangster Walker had been brutally attacked in Puerto Banus, a small town southwest of Marbella in Spain.
The wounds were severe, which were allegedly caused by golf clubs and required staples in his skull to heal.
What is his response?
While he has yet to confirm the attack on his TikTok, he has released footage of himself in a Spanish hospital.

He has told his followers that the reason he is in the hospital is that he was in a car crash in Portugal.
There was an image posted to his social media to report the news, and days later referred to the incident as the sixth attempt on his life in the last year.
