The UK’s biggest black TikTok star has hit 10 million followers and is now earning £3,000 a month – yet he is officially homeless.
Drama student Ehiz Ufuah, 22, is living in emergency accommodation provided for homeless people after his family lost their council house in east London when they fell on hard times.
Rehoused temporarily in a Travelodge in January 2020, Ehiz attracted a massive online following when he tried his hand at making TikTok videos and one swiftly went viral during the pandemic.
Between December and March, Wave House members and cofounders Fouladgar (2.9 million TikTok followers) and Jimbo Hall (1.3 million followers) scouted new talent to join their crew.
Season two introduced three new members: Ehiz Ufuah (9.9 million followers), one of the UK s largest TikTok creators, and Fairhurst (3.4 million) and Reagan Yorke (2.9 million), two American TikTok stars.
While Fouladgar and Hall found new members, the Yoke Network, the influencer-marketing agency that helped found and launch the house, was busy plotting the house s return.
To help produce the second season, Wave House and Yoke Network partnered with Brave Bison, a social-content studio and media network. In addition to its TikTok content, the house upped its YouTube presence, introducing a weekly series of reality-show episodes. The house also launched a Snapchat series and has a documentary in the works.
