Hassan Campbell aka Poppy grew up in the early 80s in Bronx River. Growing up in a low-income neighborhood, crime was rampant, and gang culture was everywhere. During his early days, he got locked up multiple times for a number of shooting around the Bronx.
He became such a known name in the streets, he decided to tell his story on YouTube, so that young people can learn from his mistakes.
Hassan Campbell has been caught up in a number of controversies throughout his YouTube career. His most recent viral moment was with Wack100 and BigU which has now blown over, but Hassan still keeps the flame going speaking on other people in the rap industry like Jim Jones and Maino.
One of his most notable issues was with Afrika Bambaataa, and the sexual assault allegations from the past. Afrika Bambaataa was accused of sexual assault on a number of minors during the early day of hip-hop, and Hassan Campbell was one of those minors.
Hassan Campbell has kept up on his YouTube videos and has called out a lot of people in the industry for their vindictive ways.
