Exposing the Dark Side of Fame They Never Told You About | CheckTheStar | #135
Podcast: Wam Bam's PodcastPublished On: Wed Feb 04 2026
Description: This week, I sit down with CheckTheStar, a musician and widely known figure whose story goes far beyond music. With close ties to the industry.. including relationships with the Island Boys, custom grills from legendary jeweler Johnny Dang, and a personal relationship with late pop icon Aaron Carter.. Checkthestar has seen firsthand both the highs and the dangers of internet fame. Growing up around the wrong crowds led him down a violent path that nearly cost him his life when he was shot in the head and survived. Today, he speaks candidly about that experience, the dark side of social media, and how online clout, attention, and pressure can quietly destroy people behind the scenes. His story is raw, uncomfortable, and real pulling back the curtain on fame, survival, and what the internet doesn’t show.Suicide Hotline 👇https://988lifeline.orgIf you or anyone you know is having suicidal thoughts please urge them to seek help, be someone to lean on or find someone to lean on.
