The teenage gang leader turned Internet personality that it's not the Black community's business.

Charleston White is one of many in the pop culture world who reacted to 6ix9ine's beatdown in an LA Fitness bathroom. However, he took a decidedly more uninvolved approach, blasting those who celebrated the attack on him. Of course, opinions on whether he deserved it or not are split among media discussion platforms and some of the culture's most prolific commentators. However, in the Wild West of social media, it's fair to say that many have treated the incident more lightly than other crime stories. As such, the former gang leader turned Internet personality had some words for those making light of the assault.

"Listen, I wanna tell all the black people that's celebrating Tekashi 6ix9ine's a**-whooping, stop celebrating," he began. "Wait 'til Juneteenth. Wait 'til n***a day, n***a. Celebrate then. 'Cause them Puerto Ricans got his a**. This is a battle between Puerto Ricans and Mexicans. N***as can't claim that. So tell Lil Boosie, he didn't get that a** whooping for the motherf***in' streets. The streets still haven't dealt nothin' to Daniel. They didn't beat him up, they just slapped him around. N***as who get beat up don't walk out the door, asking questions."

Moreover, he went on to say that Tekashi didn't even get roughed up that much in the grander scheme of things. In fact, he even suggested that police call off their investigation. However, the real twist is that, rather than being more sympathetic, White seemed to suggest that it wasn't the true retribution that he deserves. As such, his words indicate that he believes the "GUMMO" rapper still has a debt to pay.

Meanwhile, the rapper recently decided not to bring back his security and continue trying to live his life like a civilian. While it may be a slightly noble and understandable goal if he wants to live a normal life, it teeters between hopeful and naive. Given his reputation among the rap world and pop culture and large as a snitch, this will prove difficult. However, after this incident, it's clear that he's not out of surprises just yet. Regardless, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story.
