What Happened?
A former teen gang leader turned social media star, Charleston White has made his mark on YouTube, and in the real world. A self-proclaimed nerd, White has dabbled in the tech industry, but it was his commentary on the hip-hop culture that garnered him some serious notoriety. The 52-year-old weighed in on everything from rappers who go to prison to the internet’s best sources of entertainment.
In a series of Instagram posts, the Texas native was more than willing to share the highlights of his life story, and he did not hold back on the technology news department.

From the top of his hat to his bottom, he wore the right suit for the job at hand, and his energy and enthusiasm are infectious.

T.I.’s Response
Throughout his career, Tip has made it a point to speak on a wide range of topics. His latest interview with Hot 97 was no different. He discussed gun control laws and snitching allegations with the radio station. He also weighed in on the current snitching controversy between himself and Boosie Badazz.
The snitching issue between the two rappers has become a major topic in the hip-hop community. It has led to a number of rifts between the two.
When the snitching allegation first surfaced, Tip was quick to take to social media to refute the claims. He claimed that he didn’t snitch on his cousin, and even waved around a court document to prove it.
However, this wasn’t enough to satisfy King Harris. The 18-year-old rapper has since taken to social media to defend his father and call out Charleston White for slandering him in the video. He also threatened to attack the social media influencer on sight if he ever came across him in real life.
This isn’t the first time that Charleston White has come into a dispute with King Harris. He also had a verbal argument with Waffle House employees back in May for allegedly messing up his order.
Now, it seems that a new battle has started in the rapper’s feud with King and Boosie Badazz. It’s all due to Charleston White’s video, which he posted earlier this week, in which he badmouthed King and Boosie Badazz’s son Tootie Raw.
The video, which was first spotted by AceShowbiz, quickly caught the attention of King. In the video, King calls out Charleston White for slandering him and threatens to get his a** whipped once he sees him in person.
After watching the video, many people were surprised that a teenager from Texas could actually be this big of a threat. And it didn’t help that King’s father, T.I., also retweeted the video and took to Twitter to blast the social media influencer.
The snitching dispute between the two rappers has sparked a number of heated debates on social media, and both sides aren’t shy about taking to the streets to express their views. The snitching controversy has also led to a number of rumors and controversies, which is only adding to the drama surrounding this ongoing fight between the two rappers.
T.I.’s Reaction
When it comes to rap feuds, Charleston White is a controversial figure. He’s been known to get into fights with some of the hottest rappers in the industry, such as Soulja Boy. The two were recently at Rolling Loud when the social media star ran into Soulja Boy and sprayed him with mace.
The video went viral, and the feud between the pair is no exception. On Instagram Live, King Harris clapped back at Charleston White for his comments, claiming that the self-proclaimed snitch has a “soft upbringing.” He warned that the 18-year-old will get his a** whipped when they meet face to face.
But that didn’t stop T.I. from proving his innocence in the snitching controversy. This week, Tip posted a photo on Instagram of the gun case he joked about pinning on his dead cousin Toot. He also gave fans a look at the actual court documents from the case, which proved that Tip wasn’t a snitch.
Nevertheless, his comments on snitching didn’t sit well with Boosie Badazz, who took to Instagram to respond to the remarks, calling them “fake news.” The Louisiana native then went on to accuse Tip of lying about the story and stating that he and his cousin never had any contact with law enforcement until recently.
In a recent Vlad interview, Boosie called out the Atlanta rapper for his comments, saying that he believed Tip was trying to start a rift between the two. But he clarified that he never mentioned the story during their decades-long friendship, and that he doesn’t believe Tip is a snitch.
The rapper’s response has sparked a debate in the hip-hop community, and even ignited a heated argument between T.I. and his son, King Harris. The two were involved in a social media fight last year, with King’s father T.I. responding to his son’s retort with his own video. Regardless, the feud is a reminder of how polarizing rap can be. Art can be dangerous, causing widespread violence. No surprise Tip defended his reputation.
T.I.’s Final Words
The news that Chicago rapper King Von was shot and killed outside a local hookah bar has had the rap community in a tizzy. Several of his contemporaries have come out in support of the Chicago native, including Lil Durk, who has tapped Von to be a part of his Only The Family imprint and Chopsquad DJ, who signed him to his label and released Welcome To O’Block last month. It’s also worth mentioning that Von was a well-known celebrity chef, having made appearances on several TV shows and restaurants around the country, as well as his own reality show, Kitchens of the Midwest.
While a few of Von’s friends have spoken up about their beloved friend, the majority have been less than heartfelt in their condolences. One of the most notable exceptions is a certain T.I. who has been a frequent visitor to the scene over the years and is currently based in Atlanta. In a recent interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Tip said that he has a few buddies in town from his days in the business, including an old pal of his who is a self-proclaimed proponent of “smart sex and smart money,” or STI.
Tip is also a proud member of the AMC club and was one of the 38 advisers to Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms’ inaugural 100 days in office. Aside from his storied name, Tip has long been a fixture in the music industry and has collaborated with a who’s who of hip hop royalty. He has also made an impact in the world of community engagement, and has spent time on both sides of the fence.
