Charleston White has publicly denied viral claims that he was shot multiple times in Texas, calling the reports completely false.
On Tuesday, posts circulated widely on X and Facebook alleging that the comedian and YouTuber was in critical condition after being shot three times. Some users even went as far as falsely claiming he had died.
White addressed the rumours directly during a livestream. He dismissed the claims and clarified that he was not even in Texas at the time.
“Someone said I got shot in Fort Worth. I don’t even live in Fort Worth. I stay in Miami,” he told viewers, calling the story baseless.

His manager also confirmed the reports were false. Rapper Nikeboy Zeke shared a screenshot of a conversation with White’s manager, who said White had not been in Texas for nearly a week.
Born in Fort Worth in 1977, White is known for his outspoken commentary, sharp humor, and unfiltered views on hip-hop culture and social issues. He has built a large following through platforms such as YouTube and Instagram.
White is also a co-founder of Helping Young People Excel, a program focused on mentoring and supporting at-risk youth.
The incident highlights how quickly unverified claims can spread online, underscoring the importance of relying on confirmed sources before sharing breaking news.
