Tekashi 6ix9ine continues to serve as one of Hip-Hop’s most polarizing figures.

Because, while he commands a large legion of fans, he’s receiving little support from his contemporaries. Many of whom have slammed him for being a “rat” informant. A label linked to his much publisized legal woes.

Never one to hold his tongue, 6ix9ine seized the moment during an Instagram Live promoting new single ‘TROLLZ (ft. Nicki Minaj)’ to address his detractors.

In a fiery rant, he unleashed on Future – who he accuses of being inauthentic and not taking care of his children. He also had choice words for Meek Mill – stressing that both rappers rely on Drake for hits. Ouch.

This week saw DaBaby earn his first #1 single with the Roddy Ricch assisted ‘Rockstar.’ And while that would be a champagne-popping occasion for most, the rising rapper is instead using the song and its moment to unpack his own experience with racial injustice.

For, moments ago, the MC unwrapped the ‘Rockstar (Black Lives Matter Remix).’

Produced by Seth In The Kitchen, the revised version of the smash sees DaBaby declare that his community is “all fed up [and] coming back for everything.”

The lyrics align with DaBaby’s expressed goal of using his label, Billion Dollar Baby Ent, to help dismantle systemic racism.

Among the disappointed, one particular detractor took to Change.org to ignite a petition to ensure the ‘Pink Panther’ star kept her award-winning hands off the next installment of ‘Black Panther.’

After multiple push backs, Tekashi 6ix9ine finally unveils ‘Trollz’ – the highly anticipated follow-up to his first post-prison release single, ‘Gooba.’

Much like its predecessor, ‘Trollz’ is the center of controversy – this time pointed at his co-star, Minaj, from many who disapprove of 6ix9ine’s rap sheet (which includes snitching, sexual misconduct with a minor, cultural appropriation, and more).

Nevertheless, having already hit #3 on the Hot 100 with their past hit ‘Fefe,’ the New York-based duo are looking to hit a higher rung on the tally with their “charity single” reunion.
