Charleston White (Guest)
Yeah yeah and you know it was a line out the door when we pulled up it was plenty of cars so i knew that that was the chosen spot right right what what i.
Host (Interviewer)
Think i want to ask you what makes you want to make yourself that accessible when you come into cities or in the ghetto because that's the ghetto right what makes you what makes you disregard some of the prior things that has happened like when we talk about nipsey when we talk about some of these people that run into unforeseen circumstances.
Charleston White (Guest)
My wisdom a lot of people can say my wisdom won't allow me to do it in chicago or new york well not new york because i didn't been to brownsville brooklyn to the bottom bottom in new york but california in chicago i wouldn't do this even though i have done it right but i wouldn't openly go go live because i know the gang cultures supersede morals humanity and principle yeah so so what will make me will make me do it homie is all of our heroes all of our great black leaders before us from from ali to richard pryor they have always been able to walk amongst the people they they didn't need security because they they was love amongst the people it wasn't until the rapping got got into the rap industry that that that they started dying amongst their people but prior to that that makes sense prior to that entertainers didn't die amongst their people was loved even now michael jackson couldn't do it but sometimes he did michael jackson went to the hospitals he walked amongst the people and caused a hysteria yeah but ali was the greatest and he walked his kid to school yeah yeah yeah so i i i i'll never want to get too far from my people why i can't do what i did today yeah you.

Charleston White (Guest)
Guys that because anybody got ashtray for me before i spark up yeah yeah yeah i ain't want them on the floor you sure right i got one right here.

Charleston White (Guest)
Reality post traumatic if you sold dope and you did it for a long time you got some post traumatic stress disorder from nothing else paranoid schizophrenia yeah you distrustful yeah and homie just in your sleep pattern up yeah even though you change your life there's still some residue that's a whole fact still some.
Host (Interviewer)
Residue and that's what i think that's what because for me it's like i could have a hunting up here i can go in you know what i'm saying but it just won't my my my my my brain won't allow it because i've been through so much them hold on me around here send me the you see what i'm saying so it's like and this was a dude i helped for nine years so when i when i got when i went through that it broke me in a way bro i ain't i still ain't.
Charleston White (Guest)
Repaired that betrayal is something homie that that that damages and scars people hearts forever and some people never recover it takes a certain type of person that can can mend the wound of of betrayal and and still intimately trust again that's with his woman yeah so a lot of up because they've been betrayed by somebody a woman take the brunt.
Host (Interviewer)
Of it that's a whole she can't.
Charleston White (Guest)
Get the she can't get the fullness and the wholeness of him yeah he's distrustful because what somebody else did yeah.
Host (Interviewer)
Yeah did you come so before you got into this what was charleston white doing i know you was an activist we've talked before and also for people who don't know me and i really had the first charleston white real vibe.
Charleston White (Guest)

Host (Interviewer)
They they came in stress but but see also i was so i was so hung up on making sure the quality was so right and i was in i was in the it was both of us was just starting i was in the little room yeah you know what i'm saying you was in the car but you was kicking that done got millions and millions of views at this point you were kicking that on my way back then so you've always been so i i'm not i.

Charleston White (Guest)
Different way king cassius king cassius at that time had like two three hundred zero zero zero followers he was daily getting seven eight hundred thousand views off the i was doing off facebook i got his channel took down yeah but i ain't knowing at the time i'm it took me four to five years to realize this is how you conquer the algorithm exactly your clippers exactly you need these exactly you really won't be.
Host (Interviewer)
Paying by yourself you can't do it.
Charleston White (Guest)
Bro you think you're doing it by yourself it's all these people who've been taking your it took me four or five years to realize that now i ain't never gotta go live that's why i hardly go live now i'm saying i just go make a video somewhere my clipper go take it and be it's gonna go to twitter so yeah so what that does is they help me sell concert tickets to help me sell merchandise or they get me booked for interview i ain't gotta monetize over there y' all have it y' all yes y' all have it and here's.
Host (Interviewer)
Trick so nav green was going through that nav is one of my partners too you know he he do this thing called not night shift but supervisor what is that nav green do well he act like the shift leader yeah he do the shift lead at the at the like burger king mcdonald it's a little skits so a young from memphis had turned him up on tick tock millions and millions of views so nav green had his team reach out to him and was ignoring them because he thinking they gonna run it like you running they gonna try to take me down so he ignoring them nav green them just had to send him a blind dm like bro we ain't trying to take you down just cut us in twenty thirty anything just throw us something cause we shooting this content it costing us money so they made a deal that shoot him some money dudes still run that page millions of.
Charleston White (Guest)
Views it's it's a it's a it's a channel on tick tock boss or young ball some on tick tock tl.
Host (Interviewer)
Young boss he do millions of charleston.
Charleston White (Guest)
White yeah i started beefing with him homie i would really app but but i i didn't realize at the time i'm thinking man stealing my content he making me a worldwide brand i would tell him the fact that he getting all these millions of views i'm realizing he making some money yeah but he making you a worldwide brand and you ain't paying him yes and all he doing is just taking your real life street star video yeah so so i think i spent a year squabbling with him i look at tick tock one day i got over two billion hashtag charleston whites that's just hashtag charleston i.
Host (Interviewer)
Told way of them man i said.
Charleston White (Guest)
That billions of views i got another on tick tock i got another twenty two million hashtag charleston white misspelled without the e c h a r l s t oh yeah yeah i got another forty million in charleston white memes when i added up i'm in three billion i left him alone because he's a he's he's like a billboard yeah but but if ain't nobody teaching you this then you think stealing your content but they really working for you and they find their own way to pay themselves right and you ain't got to pay them so now i let them have it so so so eat all the fake pages that's why you can't find me because i let the fake pages now some some fake pages scamming i can't stop that yeah but if you know me you know i like to go live those are billboards for me those will be i don't have to pay no clippers so i let them make their money homie but it took me years to understand that broke and angry yeah so he trying to get everything he can get broke and.
Host (Interviewer)
He had take that but see get what this you talking about the page you talking about see you've birthed a lot of man unbeknownst to you right like with the tl young boss individual they've now took the platform that they've built off your back and now they're charging brands to yo we'll do collab posts with you we'll edit your we'll do that so real life street stars.
Charleston White (Guest)
Pay them now no they pay them.
Host (Interviewer)
Now now they pay them because they built it off of what you had going on and had this big audience sitting there so it's like i say it's one hand watch the other both watch the face got the so so.
Charleston White (Guest)
I shouldn't have been attacking them i should have been collaborating yeah yeah i should i should have been but but but i i was reflecting what what was being at me because i was being attacked every day at the time at the time i was under attack every day all day every day you were squabbling so every day all day every so and all contenders and i was attacking back so any so yeah so i had to get out of attack mode but i'm just reflecting what was before me it wasn't until i started traveling and going places and start seeing love that's when stop attacking yeah it's just like them dogs that they had michael vic them fighting dogs they want some biting dogs yeah when you take them out there fighting environment start patting on them and loving on them once i start getting the love i stop biting right yeah yeah yeah but.
Host (Interviewer)
See i think that's why you transition right in the stream and so well as well is because not only are you a brand you funny you you you you got your fan base and audience but you also come with a lot of the attributes that they have meaning the clippers yeah that'll take the and go do it theyself aiden them got that kyle them got that too but you got to be a certain level to have that everybody don't got.
Charleston White (Guest)
That from from my understanding aiden and kick the ones that they have agreements with home they pay over a million dollars a month for certain yeah i.
Host (Interviewer)
See i've seen the neon pay good.
Charleston White (Guest)
Neon and pay good so you know that's that's somebody that watched them every day though and that means you watching the whole seven hours yeah very few people got that kind of commitment and dedication so they deserve time of the night that they do it yeah so you know what i'm saying so of course of course they deserve something i used to be disappointed with the people around me because they wouldn't fault they wouldn't capture this and clip what they see in real time yes i got a partner men want to rallo and thug them people oh yeah he locked up right now travel around the country with me but he never pulled out the camera to capture is inside you in the room with people if you're not there shake their hand and change number show so so there's people homie who who've been with me and they were numbered aaron boys and and publicist but because they was in this position they got some phone numbers now they managing some of the biggest internet names that y' all know today that's why.
Host (Interviewer)
I don't have people with me man it's because i i don't got no it got to be worth something you got to be doing something around me.
Charleston White (Guest)
That'S how woody manager yeah you know she used to be my publicist oh.
Host (Interviewer)
Yeah sure did i talk to her before on your behalf that's how she.
Charleston White (Guest)
Got woody man i used to used to work with charles and do this but she had all the contact list so if you notice that's why he done been on the dance on all these so he so she just back.

Charleston White (Guest)

Host (Interviewer)
What you sure did bro a lot of people say you game up with that because everybody want to share that that number they were pimping on it.
Charleston White (Guest)

Why you think yeah yeah you gotta watch for that kind of shit yeah.
Charleston White (Guest)
I listen for it yeah i listen for it what's in a man's heart gonna come out of mouth right especially if he like to talk yeah it's that quiet don't say much you got to kind of ponder but now so that was that was my life changing experience in my early thirties my daughter was just born so that i had never been betrayed by a friend before right i had never been betrayed by a friend we don't each other girls but when you young that's not betrayal right but yeah now i had never been betrayed so that was my life lesson when you heard me say i don't yeah so and so so by by that time when i went and got in college a few years later all of my real childhood friends start coming home from prison from they did when they were kids because your friends.
Host (Interviewer)
You really made friends in prison in.
Charleston White (Guest)
Boys home i was waiting on most of i went to school with we we we didn't main it was like two or three we maintain friendships but you're not the same you can't maintain the same level of friendship from the sixth and seventh grade and you come back at twenty two twenty three because now these got egos from selling dope and you know what i'm saying they might have been weaning in school now they big dog can't nobody tell them nothing so they're super tough yeah oh you know what i'm saying or they might have been super tough now they on dope so the dynamics had changed yeah you know what i'm saying so i was kind of like in the wilderness just alone but because i know everybody i can go from fort worth to grand prairie dalwood oak cliff west dallas pleasant grove houston san antonio so i can go to all these different places because i spend his whole teenage life in the boys home and i was in an institution that only housed texas most violent youthful offenders so that's.
Host (Interviewer)
From ninety one so you met everybody.
Charleston White (Guest)
In that i met all the big dogs in the neighborhood when they were.
Host (Interviewer)
Kids because you know the statistics say that that's in there at that age them gonna be them kind of for.
Charleston White (Guest)
The rest of their life so all i was in the boys home with them when they got eighteen and nineteen by the time they were twenty one twenty five they ran certain prisons right.

Host (Interviewer)
You think you would have joined the.
Charleston White (Guest)
Crib yeah i would have been killed.
Host (Interviewer)
It was in your spirit oh so.
Charleston White (Guest)
So imagine imagine my internet persona as a gang member it's the same it would have been the same yeah homie i would have been just as disrespectful yeah yeah because that's my that's my temperament or anything i embrace that's me playing basketball yeah you can't hold me so that's playing dominoes you you go that persona comes out so not that's the persona i had in the boys home so that's how i got the name nut that same internet persona was in that little with the one yeah and i'm in acting so i'm i'm going overboard yeah but it's convincing it's convincing you know what i'm saying see.
Host (Interviewer)
Because you got this thing like you've you you got this pattern where you've said yo i infiltrated the police i went out there and infiltrated the rolling sixties i info so you got a certain level of game where you can make it look like what whatever you really want to make it so so.
Charleston White (Guest)
So so so so when i joined the gang in ninety two gang banging had already been big in america from the mid eighties by way of the crack epidemic so if you if you watch that movie what's that movie that was about crack with that in calif on netflix snowfall snowfall so if you watch snowfall you saw jerome them took crack yes the mother stayed in california jerome took crack crack and the gang bang came together it was because it.
Host (Interviewer)
Was coming out of la there you.
Charleston White (Guest)
Go so so so so that's why you had the documentary banging in little rock that's why them was so detrimental that's why they gang that's why they they first years of gang banging was so horrific and horrendous because they got the california in the country then took the game and took it to extreme yeah you saw in the movie he said man he country wild another guy they giving you certain history in this yeah yeah so by the time it get to texas in louisiana i'm i'm what maybe eleven twelve by the time i'm fourteen it's her but i'm from the suburbs so i don't see it right it ain't in my school it ain't on television and when i go to my ain't in them house on in the gutters in the slum i see them bandanas so it's only appealing because i seen it on colors it's just like the we see on love and hip hop you you know it's.
Host (Interviewer)
Or the rap with the cyber truck.
Charleston White (Guest)
Or something there you go so the that flag became that was like it was appealing right like the cyber truck yeah so d deferred iphones that bandana yeah yeah yeah yeah so when i so i'm one of the very few kids in my school that was going to juvenile but i'm going to juvie for mischievous delinquency stealing cars vandalizing so i'm getting to get a peek of it the couple days i'm staying in juvie come home go to school mimic a stance a walk yeah you know what i'm saying when i got to juvenile and i got i got to see it full up close and personal she everything i was looking for yeah it's like say mama i won't play football right the camaraderie all and it got the blue dickies on with the rug everything because it was already appealing by way of television with the young impressionable mind right so at this time larry hoover's literature growth and development is being started to be spread throughout the prison system the juvenile system so it's starting to come down south and everything but the crips and bloods don't have no literature but they're trying to adopt literature by way of acronyms crip community revolution in progress cuz rest in peace community revolution international so they start to put acronym that's the brainwashing with the for the young to make it feel like it's honorable right so now they coming with acronyms of blood brothers leading others out of darkness so they come with some acronyms but they getting all this mixed up with larry hoover's teaching the crypto so now it's even more appealing because now we have literature so now just checking each other on literature that's gd and bd now the crippling blood you know your literature well when you were playing domino i was writing who was in gangs in in california in the daphne used to let anybody write in prison yeah yeah so writing and giving me the history and the knowledge then monster cody dropped that book that book some up what monster cody so when i went and got the first history by all the names and the time frames when i went to bed that made me the leader amongst.
Host (Interviewer)
These yeah cause you knew more than there you go anybody with the information.
Charleston White (Guest)

This is an iheart podcast.
Date: September 15, 2025
Podcast: The Breakfast Club (iHeartPodcasts)
Hosts: The Breakfast Club Team (DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God)
Guest: Charleston White
This episode dives into the complex and often-controversial world of Charleston White, a provocative internet personality, community activist, and media disruptor. The conversation spans his insight on internet fame, lessons from betrayal, experiences with street and gang culture, content monetization, and the intricate ties between activism, law enforcement, and black communities. Charleston unpacks not only his personal transformation but also his role in re-shaping how online content and urban narratives intersect.
Charleston White’s story is one of transformation, hustle, and hard truth. He draws direct lines between generational trauma, economic realities, and the modern landscape of social media. The episode is both a critique of urban culture hypocrisies and a guide to surviving—sometimes thriving—despite them. Whether listeners agree with his rhetoric or not, Charleston White offers an unfiltered education in internet-age self-invention, community dynamics, and the cost of being real.
