Tekashi 6ix9ine went on an Instagram tirade early Monday (May 18), accusing Billboard of somehow fudging the numbers to benefit Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s new collaborative single “Stuck With U.”
He was seemingly irate his comeback single “GOOBA” wasn’t going to land in the Billboard Hot 100’s coveted spot. Without mentioning his name, Grande responded to 6ix9ine’s accusations and made it clear she rightfully earned her place at the top.
“I didn’t have a number one for the first five years of my career and it didn’t upset me at all because from the bottom of my heart, music is everything to me,” she wrote in the caption. “My fans are everything to me. I promise I couldn’t ask for another fucking thing. so with this celebration today, I would like to address a few things which I don’t usually do (I don’t give my energy to drama or strange accusations normally but this has gone a little too far)…my fans bought the song.
“JUSTIN’S fans bought the song. OUR fans bought this song (never more than four copies each, AS THE RULES STATE). they are ride or die motherfuckers and i thank god every day that i have them in my life.”
Grande’s “Stuck With U” collaborator also issued a response to his Instagram account.
“He says his streams don’t count,” he began. “Yes they do but he is counting his global streams and this is a domestic chart so only domestic streams count. 60,000 units came because we don’t disclose our numbers until the end of the week. That’s called a strategy. He said 30K was bought with 6 credit cards but that is a lie. The rules are clear one credit card can buy max 4 copies. Anything over that the entire amount gets thrown out.
“Nielsen company checks this and found all our sales were legit because our fans are amazing and bought them. Don’t discredit our fan base with false info. This is my song with Ariana Grande and I’m honored to work with her to raise money for a great cause.”
Unsurprisingly, 6ix9ine fired back at Grande’s post with an Instagram post of his own and assured the pop princess his beef wasn’t with her. He included old video clips of Grande’s time on Nickelodeon and talked how his mom used to collect cans for money.
Fans = customers.
You poor fucks pay for these people’s music making them super rich and ya stay losing $. But at least you can post cute videos of the merchandise just for likes and shares. You’re trading real money for fake love. Suckers.
I’d rather have love and be a happy customer, than a bitter rich person . Diff strokes for diff folks
You’re entitled to feel that way. Just don’t ever expect anyone to respect you, or take you seriously.
After a certain age, money doesn’t influence how I choose to respect or view people. That’s entirely based on their actions alone. If money motivate you to Lie, backstab and connive then I wouldn’t care or acknowledge if you took a person seriously or respected them. Money can buy Charisma or Cool, lakes are still Lakes with ?, and broke niggas with good dick and swag will be banging your wife, gf, or bf all day, no issue at all..you know it and I know it lol

I’ll be honest I did not know Ariana Grande used to be on TV. Cuz ion follow pop music. And in fact ion watch TV haven’t in years. So if she grew up similar to him, then he wouldn’t be mad at being number 3?
Ion?
He’s gonna blast fools with an ion cannon or some shit
What a strange time to be alive. Snitches come home with love. Then he successfully clowns meek and snoop only to be schooled by ariana grande. 2020 covid era has shown us everything is now possible.
Don’t know why they would even bother responding to this clown. What explanation do they owe him?
Tekashi Snitch9 came out the rat house bitching about something everyday. Hes like an annoying bitter ex girlfriend lmaoo
She’s on her cycle and all out of tampons and Midool and it’s day one for all of us……..SHIT!!!!
What is worse is that this generation of people are going out to support this clown with their money. There is so many better things to buy with that money.
I think left out his mom collected cans and prostituted to pay the rent
This kid is gonna end up like Pop Smoke by the end of the year, just come outside Snitch9 real niggas are waiting for you
Real niggas don’t wait around for another man, sounds like some gay shit to me. Yall too busy watching another man instead of checking the bitch nigga that lives in your souls
Outstanding sir!
You people sound like a bunch of clowns dissin clowns. Anyone who gives anyone else too much energy is under their control. This guy is a kid. Sure, a snitchy kid…. but, the streets is dead. Its a new time. The streets will always be there, but there is no honor in the street shit anymore. Old Vegas is dead. Now you got the strip. Let it go.
Fuck grande. Drove mac miller to suicide and jumped on his death clout, like a sad widow. Then dumps dude she cheated with and jumped on some random next dick. Fuckin demon woman.
Oh u mad doggie
You don’t get any pussy at all, do you?
This guy is turning into a cry baby. No one asked about his hard luck story. Guess what? Most rappers come from a poor environment. He ain’t special. This is what happens when you don’t work hard for anything you feel entitled. I mean has he watched how hard mj worked in the last dance? Is he aware how hard it is to be as talented as Ariana? He is delusional and his run will come to an end soon as he is coming to realize he ain’t special
What kind of moron buys 4 copies of the same song and how is that rule ok? I mean whats the point. But not 5 though thats crazy lol uh ok
All this dont discredit our fan shit and its all legit is hillarious 4 purchases per card and good for that ever hear of apps? Im sure these record companies have BOTS buying streams for these fucking clowns all day cause billboards been trash for a long time
The true losers in all this are their respective fans . They are duped into spending millions to prop these overpaid undertalented morons on a God-like pedestal and ensure them an egregious lifestyle while kids around the world are starving from unimaginable poverty. Smh at this stupidity.
#snitchlife ??
This is so stupid but also kinda funny. 6ix9ine is so focused on the number one one spot that he is paying attention to the fact that he is not even at the number two spot. I wanna see him go after Doja cat and Nicki Minaj next since they also beat him
Also is this man playing the victim? Really? This person who never talks about his struggle in his music but always talking about testing his gangsta? This person who is complaining about being number one even though he is not even number two? SMH
Well he should take care of his kids if he remembers all that when he was young.Do anyone remember dude not seeing or looking after his kids according to their mothers.
How dare these people try to throw dirt on the name of the King of NY. He’s the true number 1 and we already know! GOOBA is the track people are playing in the few spots that are open and in the privacy of people’s homes.
