A TikToker distributes alcohol and machetes to homeless individuals without any response from law enforcement.

A TikTok personality known as Wolfy has sparked both viral attention and heavy criticism for sharing videos of himself distributing mini bottles of alcohol, cigarettes, and even machetes to unhoused individuals in multiple cities. While Keith Castillo presents these acts as feeding the homeless, many argue he is exploiting vulnerable people for online views.

By early December 2025, Castillo had uploaded numerous clips showing him giving 18-inch machetes, tiny alcohol bottles, and cigarettes to people experiencing homelessness. Each video is captioned identically, seemingly trivializing genuine support efforts: Feeding the homeless blessed to be able to support people in need during these tough times .

One notable video from November 13, which amassed over 6.6 million views, features Castillo saying "let's feed the homeless" while placing mini bottles of Fireball whiskey and loose cigarettes on a table as if serving meals. Critics argue this could encourage further hardship for already vulnerable people, given the known links between addiction and homelessness. He has since escalated the content by introducing machetes into the videos.

Despite the widespread circulation of these videos, police in the cities he visits have remained silent. While some authorities have pursued felony charges against protesters, Castillo has faced no legal consequences. His most viewed clip, featuring a machete, reached over 18 million views before it was removed.

The 29-year-old told the New York Post that he plans to continue traveling, recording content in cities such as New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. He stated that he expects recipients to use the machetes as tools rather than weapons. Research shows that unhoused individuals are more often victims rather than perpetrators of crime, but pairing alcohol with potentially dangerous items raises serious safety concerns.

Public reaction on TikTok is mixed. Some viewers question the morality of Castillos actions, with comments like "how can people find this funny" and "isnt he partially responsible for any crime done with them now?" Others, however, express nuanced views, acknowledging that while alcohol and cigarettes might worsen certain problems, they can also provide temporary relief from the stress of homelessness.

The controversy highlights the tension between online content creation and ethical responsibility toward marginalized communities.
