Early life and career

He moved to London in 2002 and stopped using drugs, becoming a British citizen in 2007.[5]

Rose has also conducted interviews with conspiracy theorist David Icke,[10] one of which where Icke falsely claimed a link between the COVID-19 pandemic and 5G mobile phone networks. The video was later removed from YouTube, Facebook, and Spotify.[11][12] Rose has said about the interview: "I'm proud we broadcast it. We fought against censorship last year because I want people to have these discussions and I want to have them out in the open... By no means do I agree with everything he says."[5] Rose has also described the UK government's COVID-19 response as "disproportionate".[13] The Guardian has described Rose as a COVID-19 conspiracy theorist.[14]

Along with London Real, Rose set up an academy offering courses on public speaking, business, and motivation.[6] Vice reported that Rose's "Business Accelerator" programmes have been criticised by past customers.[9] In 2020, the only active company registered in Rose's name was Longstem Limited.
