James Potok / POTOK PHILIPPE
As if one annoying Canadian trying to be provocative wasn't bad enough, here we have James Potok, a self-described artist that pretended to have the corona virus while on a plane from Toronto to Jamaica. The plan was simple: Stand up in the middle of the plane, announce that he recently came from some Chinese province, and say how he's not feeling too well. And just in case the passengers around him aren't too bright, say that maybe, just maaaaybe, it might be that corona virus thing everyone's been talking about. From there, the news would spread far and wide, and soon everyone would come to know the name of the infamous rapper, Potok Philippe. At least, that's what should have happened in James's tiny mind.
Unsurprisingly, about 250 passengers were less than enthusiastic to have some punkass bitch turn the entire plane around hours into the flight, only to say, "It's just a prank bro.":
Once the plane landed back in Toronto, James was arrested by police and criminally charged with mischief and breach of recognizance. He had some interviews with a few different news agencies, where he attempted to give some very meaningful, heart-felt apologies for his foolish actions:

Now, that's where most people would assume the story ends: Dipshit pulled some terrible public stunt for attention, was promptly arrested, got ridiculed by hundreds of thousands of people online, and pretty much dropped off the face of the Earth. James, however, never got the memo, as he's been trying to use the incident to "brand" himself under, "#WUHANCLAN" on his social media posts + YouTube video. Yet even with all the negative publicity he generated, nobody seems to give two shits to even bother sending more hate and attention his way.

Speaking of, for all those wondering what his "artistry" is like, see for yourselves:

Ava Louise / Ava Louise Lockner
If you've happened to hear about that one girl that licked a toilet seat and called it the "coronavirus challenge" on TikTok, then chances are you're well aware of who Ava Louise (real name Ava Lockner) is.
The viral clip got Ava to make an appearance on Dr. Phil, where she stated in the interview that: She was jealous of how people were mainly focusing on the global pandemic, had the urge to go cough on Dr. Phil in person, and felt that it would be worth spreading the virus and getting somebody killed, so long as it earned her more fame and attention.

This actually was not the first time Ava was featured on his show. The year prior, she came on to talk about how proud she was to be constantly consuming diet pills to become so skinny, along with how much alcohol she consumed weekly until she'd black out. Suffice to say, Ava has been quite the obnoxious bimbo for quite some time.

Outside of the TV interviews, you can tell how shallow and vapid she is just by looking through some of her social media posts alone:

Video of her blaming boomers for giving her attention + how she's a master troll that played Dr. Phil, YouTubers, and the entire mainstream media:

Ava also happens to have made her own music. Though in true "basic bitch" fashion, her song solely revolves around how skinny she is:

Not gonna lie, it is kind of funny how a song she made over a year ago while drunk has been far surpassing everything our boy Potok Phillipe puts out.

EDIT:
Huge thanks (as always) to @zedkissed60 for finding me some more good info to include. All credit goes to him for these inclusions.
As it turns out, Louise is Ava's middle name. Supposedly she's trying to pull a Dick Masterson: Using this fake persona to troll the fuck out of everyone, especially Dr. Phil himself. Only difference is, Ava's been doing this shtick for a while now both online and irl, to the point where it becomes difficult to separate the character from who she really is.
On a separate note, she sued Rutgers University and some frat boys over an alleged sexual assault:
And here's some Facebook comments from her mother, who you could say is quite a piece of work:

Joshua Paul Popkin / @fckjoshy
Online pranksters are a dime a dozen, and Josh Popkin is no exception. Like the rest of them, he's an insufferable douchebag who enjoys fucking with people for attention. Originally, his shtick involved interrupting professors teaching college classes and messing with the employees of retail stores. More recently however, during the ongoing corona virus pandemic, Josh has been going out of his way to fuck with essential workers. Keep in mind that this guy's a "self-employed Tiktoker" living with his parents, who own a seven-figure home (further info found below).
The incident that really caught people's attention involved him spilling a giant tub of milk and cereal all over a subway car in NYC. As you could imagine, the MTA was not having it.

After receiving a ton of backlash, Josh put out a very hollow apology video where he read off hate comments. He then later put out a racist TikTok video, showing that he still only cares about pissing people off for the attention.
A decent video covering him:
