Controversy Erupts as Homeless Influencers Embrace Tent Living, Claiming it’s a Lifestyle “Flex”

A young couple from Philadelphia, Leland Brown Jr. and Breanna Hubbard, have gained internet fame by documenting their experiences living in a tent and claiming that homelessness is a lifestyle “flex.”

Their vlogs showcase their unconventional living arrangements and have garnered widespread attention online.

Unconventional Beginnings

Brown, 28, was ejected from his family home by his father after refusing to seek employment.

Seeking refuge with Hubbard’s family in Hatfield proved unsuccessful, prompting the couple to opt for a life in the woods.

Despite Brown’s initial excitement about outdoor living, the challenges of wilderness existence soon became apparent.

Transition to Influencer Lifestyle

After six months of living in the woods, Brown lost his job, prompting the couple to turn their attention to vlogging their experiences.

With their videos gaining millions of views online, they embraced life as influencers, even transforming a storage unit into a makeshift home office.

Viral Success and Controversy

The couple’s TikTok series documenting their life in the storage container went viral, attracting millions of views and national media attention.

However, their unconventional living arrangements drew criticism from U-Haul, leading to the removal of their makeshift house.

Financial Strategy and Future Plans

Despite setbacks, Brown and Hubbard remain focused on their influencer career, aiming to save money for a future van or RV lifestyle.

They have diversified their income streams by renting cars for delivery services and cleaning hotel rooms. Brown asserts his entrepreneurial aspirations and reluctance to pursue traditional employment.

Online Presence and Engagement

With a substantial following on TikTok, exceeding 177,000 followers and millions of likes, the couple continues to engage their audience with videos depicting their daily life, including bathing in hotel bathrooms, cleaning their “home,” and addressing challenges faced by the homeless community.
