History[]
Lee O'Denat started the website in August 2005 with Brandon Benjamin as a mixtape brand. Shortly after the website's launch, it was vandalized and destroyed. O'Denat later restarted it as a content aggregator. Thereon, WorldStar focused on hip hop beefs and street DVD's. O'Denat used the setup of OnSmash.com, a website which had already been distributing that sort of material. O'Denat said that this led to tension between the two websites. He added "Once we went 100 percent video, showing that original hood stuff".
