YouTuber ‘Agent Ratliff’ Sued By Louisiana Business After Posing As Federal Agent In Viral Prank Video
“Agent Ratliff, ID No. 33712,” a popular YouTuber born Calimar White, has been sued in federal court by a Baton Rouge, LA, business over comedy sketches where he poses as a fake government agent.
According to WBRZ News 2, Holmes Building Materials Inc. and supervisor Derek Jones filed a defamation suit against White, alleging that an Aug. 12, 2025, YouTube video with over 120,000 views damaged the company’s reputation.
The lawsuit claims that White, joined by another comic and a cameraman, visited Holmes’ business on Aug. 1, 2025, and, implying they were acting under government authority, deliberately misled employees, WBRZ reports.
White allegedly identified himself as a federal agent with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), claiming he and a colleague were investigating employee complaints at the business. He supposedly accused the supervisor of racial harassment, nepotism, and other misconduct.
In the YouTube video, White refers to his agency as “Occupational Cares Diversity Affairs” (OCDA), but according to the lawsuit, when an employee asked for further identification, White and his companions reportedly said they were affiliated with OSHA.
In earlier videos, White has used the name “OSHA Cares Diversity Affairs,” per WBRZ. The lawsuit also notes that the U.S. Department of Labor raided White’s home last year and accused him of impersonating an OSHA agent.
According to the lawsuit, Jones is accusing White of false imprisonment after White refused to let him leave the room, as well as assault and battery after White allegedly blew cigarette smoke in his face. The suit also claims White’s two associates blocked the doorway and refused to leave the office.
White posted a screenshot of WBRZ’s report to his Instagram page on the lawsuit on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025, with a response in the caption.
“We never said we were with OSHA or any federal agency‼️This is a REAL COMPANY that’s actually registered with the state and YALL let us in!!” White wrote.
On Sept. 25, 2025, Holmes Building Materials and Jones demanded White remove the video, per WBRZ. The supervisor also asked a federal judge to order White to remove all of his skits from the internet. As of this writing, the video is still available on YouTube.
Holmes Building Materials declined to comment, WBRZ reports.
