Charleston White and Loon face off in one of the most explosive interviews of 2025 — Charleston White returns to It’s Up There Podcast to debate NBA YoungBoy, Young Thug, and the blurred line between character and accountability in hip hop. What starts as a deep cultural conversation quickly spirals into chaos after Loon bans any Young Thug discussion, leading Charleston to call a detective mid-show and storm off set. From the jump, Loon sets the tone: “This platform documents our culture, but we slow it down long enough to understand why things happen.” Charleston, however, comes in swinging — saying YoungBoy’s fans are “retarded,” that most Black people are “dumb and traumatized,” and that he only plays an “internet character” to shock the world. Loon challenges him on that rhetoric, pointing out how white institutions weaponize language against Black children, sparking one of the most heated back-and-forths you’ll ever see on camera. The argument moves from NBA YoungBoy’s tour and fanbase, to Young Thug’s case, to fatherhood, money, and manhood. Loon stands firm: “We’re not talking about Thug — that’s my little homie.” Charleston refuses to back down, shouting, “Let me call the detective!” before walking off set in frustration. This episode is everything It’s Up There Podcast stands for — honest, uncomfortable, and unfiltered. Loon keeps it grounded in respect and intellect; Charleston pushes every emotional button possible. What unfolds is part debate, part cultural mirror, and fully viral. 🎙️ Watch the full episode to see how it all unraveled when Charleston White clashed with Loon over NBA YoungBoy, called a detective on air, and walked off after being banned from talking about Young Thug. 0:00 - Introduction to Up There Podcast & Context Setting 2:15 - Charleston's Recent Tour & Comedy Updates 3:40 - Discussion About Charleston's Internet Character vs Real Life 5:30 - Charleston Explains His Dolomite-Inspired Persona 7:10 - NBA YoungBoy Concert Incident & Say Cheese Interview Backstory 9:45 - Host Challenges Charleston About "Playing" vs Business 11:20 - First Signs of Tension - Character vs Elite Status Debate 13:30 - Charleston Discusses Working with Children & Real Community Work 15:00 - Commercial Break - Prize Picks Sponsorship 16:45 - Return from Break - Internet Celebrity vs Real Life Fame 18:50 - Heated Exchange About "Tit for Tat" Communication Style 20:15 - Charleston Gets Frustrated About Interview Flow 21:30 - Host Attempts to Reset Conversation Energy 23:10 - Charleston's Comments About NBA YoungBoy Fans Addressed 25:20 - Major Tension Point - Discussion of R-Word Usage 27:00 - Reading Statistics & Research Claims by Charleston 28:45 - Host Pushes Back on Generalizations About Black Children 30:30 - Charleston Defends His Controversial Language 32:15 - Attempt to Discuss Young Thug Situation 33:40 - Charleston Wants to Focus on Crime Victims Instead 35:00 - Host Refuses to Discuss Young Thug Out of Respect 36:20 - Heated Exchange About Past Criminal Records 38:10 - Personal Attacks About Parenting & Prison Time 39:45 - Charleston's Defensive Response About His Past 41:15 - Interview Breaks Down Completely 42:30 - Charleston Expresses Exhaustion with Black Media 43:45 - Final Escalation & Charleston's Decision to Leave 45:00 - Charleston White Walks Out 46:10 - Host's Closing Thoughts & Reflection 👇 Join the movement Patreon: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast Discord: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB Full Episodes Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwwxLxHiDWYLCXvb81w69QAfr6cc1Y3N #CharlestonWhite #NBAYoungBoy #YoungThug #Loon #ItsUpTherePodcast #HipHopPodcast #PodcastDrama #CultureConversation #BlackEffect #iHeartPodcastJoin Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOO
