Charles Cosby, Lover & Business Partner of Griselda Blanco, Tells His Life Story (Full Interview)

Griselda Blanco's former lover and business partner Charles Cosby opened up about his life story in this new VladTV interview. He talked about growing up in Oakland in a two-parent household until his mother found out about his father's double life. Once crack hit Oakland in the 1980s, Cosby started dealing drugs as a teen and broke down the struggles of the trade. He also revealed how he learned about Griselda Blanco and how he was able to establish a relationship with her while she was incarcerated. Cosby also explained how Griselda's peers felt about their relationship, which took a dangerous turn after Griselda discovered Cosby was seeing another woman. Later in the interview, he talked about his involvement in "Cocaine Cowboys 2" and offered his thoughts on Griselda's assassination. To hear more, check out the full interview above.
