Why Julian Brown Suddenly Vanished From Social Media
Julian Brown made a name for himself on social media by claiming to have come up with a process to convert plastic waste into usable fuels, which he's promoted on his Instagram account over the past few years.
However, he became the subject of concern when he shared a video in July 2025, in which he claimed he was "under attack" from unknown sources, after which he vanished from the internet.
We're going to take a look at the background of the internet star ... and see what he had to say prior to his sudden disappearance from social media.
Julian's an Inventor and Entrepreneur
Brown is a self-taught inventor whose videos regarding his usage of microwave pyrolysis have gone viral on platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
The process involves using microwave radiation to heat up and break down raw materials into usable products, and the inventor's been focused on creating forms of gasoline and diesel alternatives from plastics.
He's even built a homemade microwave pyrolysis reactor, which he's featured in several of his Instagram and TikTok posts.
In addition to his work as an inventor, Brown founded a natural products company called Jabroma in March 2025, which he's promoted on social media.
He Made Concerning Claims About His Safety in an Instagram Video

He then asked his fans to keep him in their prayers, as well as to screen-record the video for future reference.
Brown shared another troubling video the month prior, in which he claimed his workshop in Alabama had been circled by a helicopter multiple times.
Brown's Mother Claimed He Was Safe ... But Didn't Say Anything Else
Many of Brown's fans and followers became concerned for his safety after he shared the video, and some voiced their opinions about his supposed disappearance in the post's comments section.
The inventor stayed quiet on social media for nearly a month before his mother, Nia, reached out to Daily Mail and provided an update on her son's well-being.
While Nia claimed her son was "safe," she wasn't willing to give out any more information about the inventor or his whereabouts.
Brown's mother expressed her unwillingness to talk about her son's actions or location was in the "best interest of his security."

We're going to take a look at the music industry figure's past and see how he made his way to the altar with the social media personality.
Fedyk Makes Up One Half Of The EDM Duo Loud Luxury

The two went from playing college shows to gracing some of the biggest stages in the electronic music world, and they've performed at festivals like Calgary Stampede and EDC Las Vegas.
Loud Luxury's also collaborated with several non-EDM artists -- including Bebe Rexha and Bobby Shmurda -- over the course of their career as a duo, and their most popular song, "Body," has racked up more than a billion streams on Spotify.
The DJ Popped The Question After Three Years Of Dating
Fedyk and White's initial meeting took place in 2020 when they were set up by mutual friends.
The music producer and the social media personality dated for three years before he popped the big question during a trip to Casa Loma, in his hometown of Toronto, Canada.
The happy couple later spoke about their engagement during an interview with E! News, where White revealed she made Fedyk give her an hour's notice prior to his proposal "so I could actually have a 'fit."
The DJ said he was "wallowing in anxiety" until the TikTok star accepted his request.

While the performer apparently told White he wouldn't DJ at his own wedding, he somehow made his way over to the decks, where he entertained the party's guests well into the night.
The TikTok personality later told Vogue she and her husband were "still reeling from just the best weekend of our lives."
