Charlie Rock LD was one of the oldest members of Terror Squad but his career was affected because of his legal issues. He was sentenced to 10-20 years at the age of 18 when he was involved in a fight where he was defending Fat Joe.

Following his release from prison, he became a youth mentor and motivational speaker. He also hosted a podcast called Reppin' Da Real and the last video that he shared on YouTube was about Mike Tyson. He spoke on Tyson's r*pe charges and how he used religion and money to escape the charges.

Charlie Rock LD also said in the video that Mike's fight with an opponent inside the ring is different than fighting in the yard. Charlie also stated:

"He's [Tyson 's] a man just like everybody else."

Charlie revealed a few other details where he stated that Tyson invited him to his Las Vegas residence and Charlie was accompanied by his sister. Tyson asked Charlie's sister to sleep with him but others began considering it a joke, which left Charlie angry.
