Charleston White is stirring the pot again, this time flaunting a new addition to his weapon collection while taking aim at Young Thug and YSL in a provocative video posted on X on August 30, 2025. The controversial YouTuber and self-styled activist, known for his unfiltered rants, used the video to mock the Atlanta rapper and his Young Stoner Life (YSL) crew, capitalizing on a recently resurfaced 2015 interrogation video tied to the ongoing YSL RICO case. White’s latest antics have sparked heated reactions online, with fans and critics debating the line between trolling and reckless provocation.
In the video, White brandishes what he calls a “new big mothafucka,” claiming it’s a powerful addition to his arsenal, even hinting at a “flamethrower in a gun.” His aggressive rhetoric targets Young Thug, YSL Woody, and other YSL affiliates, whom he calls out with derogatory insults and accusations of snitching.
White references the YSL crew’s legal troubles, saying,
“Y’all on probation, I got it,”
suggesting they’re unable to respond due to their legal constraints. This comes on the heels of a leaked 2015 interrogation video where Young Thug allegedly discussed Peewee Roscoe’s involvement in the 2015 Lil Wayne tour bus shooting, fueling accusations of disloyalty that White eagerly amplifies.
White’s taunts are rooted in the ongoing YSL RICO trial, which has gripped Atlanta’s hip-hop scene since May 2022. The trial accuses Young Thug and 27 others of running a criminal street gang, Young Slime Life, under the guise of their record label. The case, one of Georgia’s longest criminal trials, has been plagued by issues, including judicial recusals and allegations of prosecutorial misconduct. Young Thug, who was released on probation in October 2024 after a plea deal, responded to the interrogation video’s leak on X, denying snitching claims and stating the video wasn’t used in court because it supported his associate, Peewee Roscoe.
Charleston White’s history of provocation adds context to his latest move. Earlier this year, he faced arrests for aggravated assault and animal cruelty, though he claimed to be cleared of charges by February 2025. His feuds with figures like YSL Woody, whom he recently insulted by targeting his disabled daughter, show his pattern of escalating conflicts for attention. White has admitted in past interviews to using fake weapons for shock value, raising questions about whether the “flamethrower” in his video is real or just another prop to fuel his controversial persona.
