A YouTuber sparked outrage with a video where he appeared to offer food to a homeless man, then ate it in front of him


A small YouTuber said he was going to buy a homeless person a hot meal in a now-deleted video.

In the clip, the YouTuber brings food to a man sitting on the street but then eats it himself.

The video drew intense backlash from people who said it was cruel, even if it was staged.

A video that shows a YouTuber asking a man sitting on the street if he wants some food before returning with a meal and eating it in front of him has sparked intense backlash on social media.

The now-deleted video was posted by Trevon Sellers, who has a relatively small YouTube channel called "whatsuptre", which has 8,800 subscribers. His videos have typically involved public pranks, which have previously included knocking down boxes at a Girl-Scout-cookie stand before offering to buy 10 boxes, and walking through shops while wearing a Confederate flag.

In Sellers' most recent video, which was reuploaded on Twitter by various users and received millions of cumulative views, the YouTuber can be seen standing outside a Wendy's, discussing the topic of homelessness in Los Angeles, California.

"Today it's my job to make sure there is one less hungry person on the streets," he said.

The video then cuts to show a man sitting on the sidewalk. Sellers asked if he could buy him a meal, which included a burger, fries, and a drink. Later on, the YouTuber returned to the man with the drink and a bag containing the food, saying, "I want you to enjoy this," as he began to take the food out of the bag.

Sellers then unwrapped the burger, took a bite out of it, and started eating the fries.

"Alright, take care have a nice day," he said, picking up the drink and walking away from the man.


When several well-known Twitter accounts — including Dexerto, an entertainment-news outlet, and the internet-commentary account Drama Alert — shared the clip, referring to it as a "prank," viewers were outraged and said the actions demonstrated by the YouTuber were cruel and an insult to homeless people.
