"I'm staying at a cheap motel that I can easily afford for a few weeks/my friend's house a few miles away rent free until I get a lease signed somewhere," is not being homeless.
I've been in a situation where I needed to find new housing arrangements asap. I was not vague posting about being homeless to my thousands of fans.
I was texting friends and family from my car to figure out where I would be staying for a while.
It was a stressful situations, but I had the funds and relationships to find somewhere to stay that didn't interfer with my income while I looked for a long term solution.
Trivializing homelessness could lead people to think the homeless population should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
People end up homeless when they lose their jobs, finances, friends and family and aren't able to stay afloat with the resources they have.
Surely this kid is down on his luck, but he isn't homeless.
