I guess, stay motivated throughout it all and not get distracted. But what does it take to be a part of the Hype House and how do you get invited? In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Chase ‘Lil Huddy’ Hudson, who was one of the founding members of the collective explains: “We are looking for the right fit…If we all get along and think is a good fit for everybody, connects with us a whole, that’s when we decide.”Īddison Rae, one of the house’s most recognisable faces also said during that same interview, “I feel like there’s no criteria, besides being a hard worker, and someone that’s willing to work and get where we all are. It seems you can be “in” the Hype House without actually living there. What happened to the first Hype House?īack in January, the New York Times confirmed there were only 4 full-time residents of the house with many frequent TikTok-famous guests coming in and out. There has been criticism online surrounding the residents’ lack of diversity.

While it’s not confirmed that the Hype House acts as a talent agency like the Team 10 house, Thomas’ Instagram bio says he’s “manager” of so it’s likely a similar model. Thomas told the Lopez Brothers in their December 9th vlog, “It took me 13 days to make this house possible- from the idea, to calling places, touring places, and making it happen.” He was looking for the silver lining and a new project he could get stuck into.

Thomas has apparently had a rough couple years- from Vine closing (where he got his viral start) to being dropped by Team 10 and recently breaking up with his long-time girlfriend, Kayla Pimentel. YouTuber and former Team 10 member himself, Thomas Petrou. It’s kind of like a fraternity or sorority house. This requires a house “manager” who’s responsible for keeping everyone in line and making sure they deliver. Each house has a set of rules, requires parental permission for anyone under 18 to film there, and if members of the house don’t create consistent viral content, they’re out. The “house” acts as a talent agency- where a large percentage of everyone’s income goes to the owner of the house. The purpose of these mansions is to rent them out to up-and-coming social media stars. In LA, there’s a slew of mansions owned by tech moguls/companies (including the Team 10 house). How can a bunch of teenagers legally live in the Hype House?

Similar to Jake Paul‘s Team 10 house filled with YouTubers, creators all live together under one roof and spend their days creating TikToks, collaborating on projects, playing pranks on each other, and just doing whatever viral social media stars do. The Hype House, which came to inception in late December 2019, is a mansion in LA filled with some of TikTok and Instagram’s biggest stars where they eat, sleep and breathe content creation- literally. Move over Team 10, we’ve got a new house filled with viral stars and it’s called the Hype House.
