Charleston White reacted to the tragic death of Foolio in a video circulating on social media, on Sunday, during which he jokes about the location where the late rapper was shot and killed. Foolio was in Tampa to celebrate his 26th birthday at an Airbnb; however, he was kicked out for having too many people on the property. The group relocated to a nearby Holiday Inn, where Foolio was ambushed.
White began by claiming he expected Foolio to get shot eventually, before joking about where he was when the shooting took place. "The Holiday Inn?" he asked emphatically. "What the f*ck? Ain't no protection on a n***a at the Holiday Inn. They ain't even got valet parking." From there, he remarked that Foolio "works hard to die." Check out his full comments on the situation below.
