Before They Were Famous

The term “child star” is often synonymous with the turbulent lifestyle that follows after the spotlight fades. You don’t have to think too hard about a successful young performer who hasn’t fallen victim to this stereotype. But as always, exceptions do exist, with actor Cole Sprouse leading by example. Beginning his career alongside his brother Dylan in 1993, Cole has made his way up the ranks of Hollywood‘s cutthroat acting biz, with his big break coming in 1999 when the two brothers starred in Adam Sandler’s smash-hit Big Daddy. Since then, Cole has added a couple of TV shows to his resume, as well as photography. With a rebirth in the mid-2010s on Netflix’s Riverdale, Cole has found new popularity. Did you know during the audition, he won overcasting by impersonating a classic TV personality?

Juice Wrld has cited Chief Keef and Kanye West as two of his biggest musical influences. That’s really no surprise, given that the young artist grew up in the southern suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. But Juice Wrld’s musical tastes extend well beyond the world of hip hop. Ever since he was in middle school, Juice Wrld has been listening to a variety of musical styles, from pop to hard rock, and even emo. So how did he start listening to all of these different genres which would eventually influence his own body of work? According to Juice Wrld, it was all to impress a girl when he was in the fifth grade. She might have been the first, but she wouldn’t be the last girl to have an impact on his sound.

Fame has always come with its fair share of downsides. But in the age of Sound Cloud rap, Twitter rants and IG live, just about every new rapper in the game has to deal with more controversy and backlash than ever before. With social media, artists are able to connect with their fans instantly and without a filter. That can be a very good thing, but it also means that they're more likely to accidentally say something that a publicist probably would've shut down! Other artists have gone the other way, let's call it the tr3y way... and intentionally invited hate and backlash to help grow their brand.

For starters Tr3way isn't in jail – he's very much out doing his thing and you can catch him on Instagram posting live chats and he's starting to do some interviews. A lot of people think he's 6ix9ine's manager but he plays a much bigger role for the S.C.U.M Gang. He is the CEO of the label that represents Tekashi and he promises that the next great generation of superstar rappers will be coming outta Treway Ent. He's already got Cuban Doll under his wings and she's a lady I'd be placing my bets on. This video was a hard one to pull together for one reason mainly.

6ix9ine grew up dirt poor in a rough neighbourhood. He frequently went to bed hungry, literally wore clothes his mother found in the garbage, and at a young age, the tragic loss of one of his closest family members led to him getting kicked out of school and working to help put food on the table... With so much happening in the world of Tekashi 69s world since the first Before They Were Famous on him, I decided to make an updated and extended version.

Halsey lived through some seriously turbulent teen years, complete with drug use, homelessness, a suicide attempt, and a heroin-addicted boyfriend. Through it all, music was the major driving force in her life which kept her pushing forward. She adopted her stage name from a subway stop in Brooklyn, which coincidentally was also an anagram of her first name. It was there she began performing acoustic shows to local fans. Growing up in a generation selfie, Halsey got to work uploading some of her early work to Tumblr, YouTube and then Soundcloud. It was there that her song ‘Ghost’ would go viral, prompting several record labels to come knocking on her door. Since finding fame, a lot of Halsey's early work has been deleted from the internet, but I still have a few gems for you jam-packed into this video.

Younes Bendjima has been making quite a name for himself in Hollywood. Not only did he hit it and quit it was a Kardashian he's thrown some fisticuffs alongside his pals Drake and Odell Beckham Jr. The man he attacked was Bennett Sipes who ya may not know but who you certainly know is his rumoured girlfriend Sommer Ray. Poor Bennett got laid into pretty hard and Younes is not the guy you want to take a pounding from the cause he's been training to be a boxer since he was 11. I don't have a ton of info on Younes but enough to piece together a quick.

MBAPPE is a popular striker for PARIS SAINT GERMAIN, but with his FIFA victory, he's become a star well beyond France, with the entire world talking about him. He's famous not just for his skills on the pitch, but also for several memes including the trend of "Mbappe at 19 vs me at 19". When I was 19 I was.......and this guy already has a world cup victory.

He never went anywhere but they saying Luda's back, this time with fresh beef for 6ix9ine, hot off his recent spat with Lucid Dreams artist, Juice Wrld. It all started innocently enough, with Luda being asked a question on Wild n Out. Should Tekashi move b*tch, get out the way, or should Luda get off his dick and off his yack? There's only one way to settle it, and that's with a three-round head to head match. My name's Michael McCrudden and this is versus.
