6ix9ine’s decision to become the federal government’s star witness in the case against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods may have secured his freedom, but it cost him a boatload of valuable relationships. From 50 Cent to Bobby Shmurda, a laundry list of rappers and producers refuse to be affiliated with the infamous “snitch” — and Scott Storch is one of them.
During a recent appearance on Drink Champs, the decorated producer told co-hosts DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. he’ll never work with 6ix9ine again. Prior to 6ix9ine’s November 2019 arrest, Storch produced three songs on the rapper’s sophomore album DUMMY BOY, including “WAKA” with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, “KIKA” featuring Tory Lanez, and “WONDO.” While he recognizes the money was good, it’s clearly not worth it for him to be associated with someone like 6ix9ine.
“I’ve had so many difficult moments, you know, I’ve worked with Tekashi 6ix9ine,” he said. “That all went bad, like, at the time, we made what I felt like was a fucking crazy record. You can’t take that away from the man. It’s difficult, like when you’re in person and all of a sudden, you see somebody like, ‘Oh shit, now I gotta take pictures’ and this and that and blah blah blah and then people are going to shit on me. All that shit. It’s hard, man.”
N.O.R.E. then told Storch his decision was “respectable,” to which Storch replied, “I’ll say this — the Tekashi records be streaming, boy. I’m just saying that was a bag but no, I’m not working with him.”
6ix9ine’s past reaches for beyond the RICO arrest — domestic violence accusations, fights, sex acts on a child and other illicit behavior, which author Shawn Setaro explored in his book Dummy Boy. Touted as an “American crime story,” Dummy Boy was the result of dozens of exclusive interviews with collaborators, associates and witnesses who helped tell a detailed account of the “most beguiling and intriguing story in modern music.
6ix9ine's Fame Could've Only Happened In 'Trump's America' According To 'Dummy Boy' Author
Setaro believed 6ix9ine’s fame wouldn’t have happened outside of Trump’s America, something he highlighted in the book. As he explained to HipHopDX last December, “This was a time in American life when at the highest levels of government, the leader of the executive branch would publicly troll people, would say outrageous things for attention and would inspire cult-like loyalty from people who didn’t care about the literal truth of what he was saying.”
He added, “It was his trolling and insults that made these people feel like he represented them. It’s no surprise that the biggest rap star of 2018 also fits that description.”
Many are shocked 6ix9ine is even alive, considering his online antics picked up as soon as he was released from jail in April 2020. Still, 6ix9ine has producers willing to work with him. In April, he dropped the song “Giné” in which he (once again) throws jabs at Lil Durk and the late King Von. It peaked at No. 83 on the Billboard Hot 100.
But it’s ok to coked out of your mind all of the time. Right smh
Bet you will after all your money goes back up your nose..again
Lol. Dude says six nine was only big in 2018 because Trump was president… idk, every person I know who listened to him hated Trump… everyone I know who likes Trump hated 69 from day one. I don’t think 69 appealed to conservatives LOL… thats like saying degenerate music like Cardi B is only big because of Trumps mean tweets.
Idk anyone that fucks with 69 music at all except kids who dont understand the garbage he spewing. Not what rap was intended for and in my opinion he is straight garbage.
Did you even read the article? The fuck did you get all that from it? Dude said trump was a troll and sixnine is troll. Nothing about conservatives or trump supporters. Ffs y’all dumb.
Yeah, I read the article, and he essentially claimed 69 wouldn’t have had success if Trump were not president… which is kinda bogus, considering the whack junk that’s been big over the decades. But to make that claim doesn’t make sense really, I don’t think Trump supporters listen to 69, like at all. Not saying liberals do either… but leftists are far more likely to enjoy rap music due to its themes are current stars (Hollywood in general is leftist, and anti conservative)
Jay you dont seem to comprehend whats being said in the article. Go back to school.
68 is the best out there right now. Kendrick fell off
6,9 is no rapper. Who the fuck is listening to that bullshit. He was corny from the get go. C’mon people!!!
I’m 41& shit was fire. You just following the herd
He needs to worry about his own career cause he fell off YEARS AGO. Scott acting like he don’t need that money. Guarantee 69 calls for a beat he’ll sell it
Who ever decided to put he only made it like this because of Trump just name dropped TRUMP to sound cool.. To get the crowd fired up.. I bet this person won’t talk shit about TRUMP in front of Lil Wayne his favorite supporter..
People all call TRUMP a racist but didn’t blacks give him an award less then 10 years before for being for the black people?? Black folks are the. Most disloyal people out there.. Would trade there own people for money and gold and still doing it now.. Shady and sad
