Bryant Turhan Emmerson Moreland, also known as EDP445 (short for EatDatPussy445), is an American former YouTuber. Formerly known for his vocal support of the Philadelphia Eagles football team, he also uploaded vlogs, mukbangs, and rants. Moreland received much attention when he was caught in a sting operation messaging a decoy 13-year-old girl in 2021, sparking many internet memes and leading to the termination of his channel.

Career

[edit]

Moreland created his YouTube channel in 2010, and became popular from his enthusiasm for the Philadelphia Eagles NFL team. He has also appeared on the comedy television series Tosh.0 a couple of times.[1][2]

Following the termination of his YouTube channel, Moreland tried to make comebacks on the platforms Bigo Live and TikTok.[1]

Controversies

[edit]

In April 2021, Moreland, living in Bakersfield, California at the time, was accused of sending explicit messages to and trying to meet up with a decoy 13-year-old girl in a sting operation by YouTuber Alex Rosen, on his channel Chet Goldstein. Rosen set it up to expose Moreland and uploaded a video publishing their texts. Rosen is known for his sting operations on his channel in which he sets up meetings between fake girls and men. Moreland later deleted all of the videos on his channel.[2] Both Moreland and Rosen's channels were later terminated by the end of the month.[3] Moreland has been caught explicitly messaging minors six times in the past. No charges were filed or arrests were made by law enforcement.[4][5] Later that month, he was approached at his home by "two armed gunmen vigilantes" who "threatened [his] life." Moreland later moved to Henderson, Nevada in June. In October 2023, he was caught in another sting operation by JiDion.[6]
