Hudson Explains The Scene On Horn Island On July 4
In part two of Brandon Tatum’s interview, they retraced the steps taken on July 4 to arrive at Horn Island. Despite being released on Wednesday (July 22), it was filmed two days prior. In this drop, Tatum debuted home footage showing that it wasn’t only Nolan and four friends who boarded a boat and headed to the celebration. Instead, Warren explained that they took three boats out there, each packed with several people, including Nolan Wells.
Later in the 13-minute video, Brandon Tatum and Warren Hudson were on Horn Island. Tatum explained that the area on July 4 was likely packed with people and not a secluded crime scene.
“So, this wasn’t some abandoned, secluded island where nobody’s at…This wasn’t a small place where four boys took their Black friend and dropped him off and never seen again. This place was flooded with people. Tons of people, multiple boats, multiple friend groups. Everybody’s here having a good time and then the boat gets towed off because it was getting ready to sink.”
Tatum said from what he was told the “boys” Nolan Wells traveled with repeatedly encouraged him to get on the boat. They claim Nolan decided to stay behind. The YouTuber said the boys being accused of Nolan were “all gone at 4:30 p.m.” from Horn Island. For several minutes, Tatum goes in about alleged lies being spewed about the incident.
Several minutes before the video’s end, Warren Hudson explained that most people leave their phones on the boat. He insisted that was the case on July 4. “You don’t take your phone and walk around the island. There was plenty of phones on the boat, you know spread out between the three boats we had,” Hudson said.

Brandon Tatum Says He Refuses To “Hate White People” Amid Criticism Of Interview
After releasing part two of his interview with Warren Hudson, Brandon Tatum had a message about the backlash. From his rant, it appears he’d been receiving negative feedback, particularly from Black online spaces and users. He directed his message, posted on Threads, at some “ignorant melanated people” in his comment section and messages telling him he hates his people and his race.
“…And you want me to take up for people that’s wrong just because they Black. I have said from the very beginning that I support finding out what happened to Nolan Wells. Everybody want to know what happened to Nolan Wells, when I talked to the young boys, they want to know what happened to Nolan Wells cause they weren’t there when he apparently died. But you want me to go out on a limb and hate these young boys because they white. You want me to hate white people. I’m not doing it. I’m not going to hate people because of the color of their skin.”
Additionally, he said that “low-life losers” are continuing to be mad at him because he wants to hear from everybody about what could’ve happened to Nolan Wells. “Y’all just want to play the race game and I ain’t playing it,” he said. Tatum also captioned the video, “I refuse to hate white people. Be a racist all by yourself.”
