As of April 11, 2024, Hossain's YouTube channel has amassed over 7.45 million subscribers, and over 1.5 billion views.
He was born and grew up in Virginia Beach, where he showed passion for building things with cardboard and duct tape.
[6] The video shows him dressed up as a car seat and fooling workers at various fast food restaurants, such as McDonald's and Chick-fil-A.
[3] The prank gained immense popularity and was featured on Fox & Friends, Good Morning America, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, among others.
Hossain was inspired by Chris Russells video titled "Homeless Lottery Winner" uploaded on March 2, 2014.
[13] In February 2018, a video was posted containing a new interview of Aursby, who claimed that he did not have access to the money and the house needed constant maintenance.
[14] Hossain responded on June 5, 2018, in a since-deleted Twitter post stating that the money was indeed transferred to Aursby and that he would provide bank statements to prove his innocence.
Hossain left the question about his return to YouTube unanswered and uncertain, explaining that his personality had completely changed and that he had been diagnosed with depression because of the false scandal.
In January 2021, Hossain uploaded a new drive-thru prank video featuring the Star Wars character Grogu, beginning his return to the platform as confirmed by his Twitter and his YouTube channel.
