Lieutenant Dan recently expressed frustration with the changes made to his social media and GoFundMe page. To those unaware, the specially-abled TikTok sensation had gained popularity for his refusal to evacuate from the Tampa Bay region of Florida despite warnings from authorities regarding the fast-approaching Hurricane Milton.

After successfully riding out the storm in his boat, which he had described as having a non-functional motor, a new clip has emerged of Lieutenant Dan discussing a clothing line link supposedly being added to the "bio" section of his TikTok account. He said:

"He took my phone, he added my TikTok, he added my Facebook. Wait a minute? Okay? He added this sh** to the iPhone... I had to actually grab it out of his hand to say I want to shut down my TikTok, because he has my account on the freaking iPhone... How did all day today in my bio, there was a link to a clothing line that had pictures of my face on shirts.. I don't know anything about them... Who did it?"

Within the clip, Lieutenant Dan claimed that not been made aware of a change to his social media, and he has alleged that Terrence, a senior at the University of Tampa who had been documenting Lieutenant Dan's journey on TikTok, made the change since he had access to the account.

Upon being asked by the individual recording the clip if he genuinely believed that Terrence was the one making the unsolicited changes, Lieutenant Dan replied:

"Somebody added that sh** to my TikTok page. Who did it? Nobody tells me sh**, and I don't like that. Okay, listen to me, alright? I don't hear from you, ever. Ever. I mean very rarely do you stop by anymore. Within the last couple, the last five days, I don't hear from you."

His GoFundMe page currently has a goal of $40,000, with $46,473 already being raised. Supposedly, the previous goal was $100,000, but it was changed without Lieutenant Dan's knowledge.

Kick streamer and Florida native Adin Ross had offered to pay Lieutenant Dan $100,000 to purchase a boat. Not only that but he also offered the seafaring TikTok star a potential deal with Kick.
