On 29 May 2024, during the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake in Gloucestershire, England, Watkins suffered a leg injury that required hospitalisation. In June 2024, he met Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama during his visit to Albania.
On 3 July 2024, while in Norway, Watkins was locked in a souvenir shop due to a large crowd and was later escorted to a hospital. During this incident, he was attacked by fans, with some pulling his hair. Norwegian police refused to assist until he ended the livestream.
