Charleston White has spoken out after fans spread a rumor that he was shot in Chicago over the weekend. "If anybody knows me, they know I ain't going to Chicago," White said in a video posted on social media on Sunday. He went on to joke that if he does get shot, it'll be in Atlanta. From there, he drove around the city shouting to strangers that people were saying he'd been shot.
The rumor originally surfaced after a man by the same name called Chicago Police after allegedly being shot by three men outside Northwestern Memorial Hospital. When first responders arrived at the scene, they couldn't find the alleged victim, which sparked concern for the celebrity on social media. "All that sh*t he been saying finally catching up," one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote in response to the rumors. Another posted: "Speaking on the mentally disabled child the way he did added some debt with the universe. That type of hateful energy along with all the extra stuff he already been saying and doing was going to catch up with him."
