TikToker hands out machetes, alcohol to homeless people in US cities for ‘clicks and views’

A social media content creator is drawing national scrutiny after filming himself distributing machetes and alcohol to homeless individuals while traveling through multiple US cities, a practice he says he will continue on a nationwide tour.

Keith Castillo, who posts under the name “povwolfy,” has shared videos from Austin, New Orleans, and Little Rock in recent weeks showing him handing out 18-inch stainless-steel machetes and liquor bottles. One clip posted on Thanksgiving accumulated more than 14 million views across platforms. In the video, Castillo offers a packaged machete to a man on the street, who replies, “Hell yeah, man.” The caption on the post reads, “Keeping the homeless in the streets.”

Castillo said he purchased the Gordon-brand blades in bulk from Harbor Freight for under $5 each. In additional videos, he gives out unwrapped machetes along with vodka handles and miniature bottles of Fireball whisky. He told The Post he keeps about 30 machetes in his vehicle and films in one city for several days before relocating. Read More on The Post Millenial
