[5] Nolan's TikTok account had 11.7 million as of March 2021. [5] Within TikTok, his profile is ranked at number 9210 in the United States as of March 2021.

Controversy

In September 2020, Nolan was involved in a controversy that called into question some active US military service members' use of online social platforms.

After an August 2020 video surfaced of two female service members dancing provocatively to the song "WAP" by rapper Cardi B, Nolan, another TikTok user named John Bland, and others were called into question for posting seductive "thirst trapping" videos in uniform or partial uniform. [10] Critics raised concerns that the use of military uniform in said videos was inappropriate or even exploitative of the uniform. The use of TikTok by American service members caused particular concern due to a late 2019 ban of the app by the Pentagon, Army and Navy due to the platform's Chinese origins. [7] However, a report from at least one high-ranking officer claims that the regulations are actually vague in this case, specifically as relating to the non-work related activities of service members in non-leadership roles. [11] Therefore, according to this report, it is unclear as to whether or not Nolan's and others' videos actually violated policy. [7]
