Charleston White | Before They Were Famous | Biography of Soulja Boy's Rival

Charleston White is a former Texas gang member who, after serving nearly a decade behind bars for some pretty major juvenile transgressions, has now managed to turn his life around by both sharing his story on social media with one or two (okay, maybe a lot of) controversial opinions sprinkled in along the way. These days he tends to introduce himself as the CEO and founder of HYPE, which stands for Helping Young People Excel – but for as much as good as he seems to be doing for his community, what really grabs peoples’ attention is the way he refuses to mince words and never holds back from a seemingly endless barrage of controversial opinions on everything from DMX to George Floyd. How did White go from a kid looking at potentially spending his adult life behind bars to someone hoping to prevent others from doing the same? That’s what you’re about to find out on this new episode of Before They Were Famous.
