6ix9ine is renowned for operating on full volume – be that with his music or social media antics.

However, the ‘FEFE’ rapper embarked on a measured period of silence over the last few months.

Many speculated what caused the sudden aversion to the spotlight.

Well, the MC has revealed he was seizing the time to lose weight. A lot of weight.

Full story below…

Taking to social media, 6ix9ine shared snaps of his journey with the caption:

Hey guysss………. SO the real reason I LEFT Instagram and MUSIC for 6 months is because in September I was the biggest I ever got .. I weighed 204 pounds and I was kinda going through a lot in life and I was just constantly eating and eating…… I told myself to put the music to the side and focus on myself and here I am today 60 pounds lighter at 140 … ALL THIS TO SAY … – IN LIFE everyone needs a break, in the chaos of everything that is going on in your life, tell yourself “ I control what happens in my life” do NOT let anyone tell you that things you want it’s not possible, that’s FALSE! YOU WANT IT GO GET IT ! OWN THAT SH*T ! I AM AND FOREVER WILL BE THE KING OF NEW YORK CHECK THE F*CKING STATS !!!!!!
