6ix9ine has become the latest person to join in on the bizarre trend of eating bugs as a clip made the rounds on social media over the weekend.
Tekashi never shies away from figuring out different ways to go viral. That was the case when footage emerged on April 29 of the Brooklyn rapper posted up with some friends in a kitchen singing along to his “Y Ahora” Latin-tinged single.

With the track booming in the background, 6ix9ine and a group of shirtless others snack on the insects while he opts to wash the bugs down by chugging Tito’s Vodka straight out of the bottle.
Tekashi even feeds some of the midges to another friend in the room, who selected Don Julio 1942 as their alcohol of choice.
The “Gummo” rapper is far from the first to indulge in the trend. Lil Uzi Vert attempted to chow down on a bug on a stick while in Thailand for Rolling Loud last month, but didn’t appear to enjoy the delicacy.
In other 6ix9ine news, he was performing in Romania over the weekend where he paused his set to pay homage to the late XXXTENTACION, who was killed in a Florida armed robbery in June 2018.
“One of my friends died back in 2018. And at all my shows, I wanna keep his name alive,” he said. “Do you guys know XXXTENTACION? Before he died, he messaged me and said, ‘don’t let your guard down and be safe and I love you.’”
On April 6, XXXTENTACION‘s murderers — Dedrick Williams, Michael Boatwright and Trayvon Newsome — were sentenced to life in prison without a chance for parole.

The three men convicted of murdering the rapper (real name Jahseh Onfroy) appeared in a Broward County, Florida courtroom, where Judge Michael Usan handed down life sentences, which are mandatory in the state, per NBC Miami.
