Tekashi 6ix9ine is making some wild accusations involving Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. In an extensive Instagram video rant, he claims Billboard allowed Ariana Grande’s team to purchase 60,000 last minute units to push her duet with Justin Bieber, “Stuck With U,” to the No. 1 spot on the chart.
“So listen, I want the world to know Billboard is a lie — you can buy No. 1s on Billboard,” he begins. “I want that to register in your head. You can buy No. 1s on Billboard. Now, let me tell you what happened. We was having an ongoing investigation — just now. Silvio from Billboard — probably five or six of them that come up with the charts with Nielsen and everything.
“Last Thursday, Ariana’s ‘Stuck With U’ submitted 60,000 units last second. With this investigation, we found this — they purchased half of those things with six credit cards.”
6ix9ine continued, “When we asked where were those six credit cards linked to, Billboard said ‘we can’t disclose that information.’ They bought 30,000 or so units with six credits … Explain how you pay 30,000 with six credit cards. Billboard doesn’t want no one to know this.
“Now I understand why JAY-Z and Nicki Minaj say, ‘Billboard, like we used to look up to Billboard,’ but now we know it’s all manipulated. You can buy No. 1s and it’s not fair.”
From there, he breaks down the numbers and accuses Billboard of “illegally” disqualifying 20 million streams of his record-breaking “GOOBA” video.
6ix9ine added in the caption, “@billboard CAUGHT CHEATING. @billboard YOU’RE A LIE AND CORRUPT. YOU GOT CAUGHT CHEATING AND THE WORLD WILL KNOW.
The controversial rapper started going at Billboard last week, not long after “GOOBA” broke Eminem’s YouTube record for most views in a 24-hour period.
“@billboard We’re watching this very closely,” he wrote in a since-deleted post. “The world is watching very closely, we love you and always supported the charting. On every platform we are dominating by a LANDSLIDE. The numbers are there and to be looked at. WITH NO RADIO WE ARE DOMINATING THE STREAMS.
Tekashi 6ix9ine Puts Billboard On Notice: 'The World Is Watching'
“I will hate to believe that people pay for their spins on the radio and making manipulating bundles to manipulate the chart. Again it’s still early Im just making it clear that the world is watching.”
As a result, 6ix9ine’s chart history is currently absent from the Billboard website. HipHopDX has reached out to Billboard for comment.
His snitchery levels know no bounds and has limits
No limits
Heard that on the day that he was born, the doctor who cut his umbilical cord and spank him was immediately arrested for assault on a infant and child abuse mere seconds after aiding with the birth. His cries and tears even back then we’re just as dangerous as his tattletale skills now. He’s a Tattle Telling Legend
6ix9ine telling on everybody and I love it!!! Get em boy, who killed Biggie? It was Diddy wasn’t it?
That was Poochie….who was hired Suge and paid by one of Suge’s Baby Mommas(since Suge was in prison still) to kill Biggie to avenge the death of 2pac
who was supposably killed under the orders of Diddy’s bounty but was eventually killed by Orlando Anderson for the MGM Grand Fight Incident.
He got proof from the DA
Nothing new. Jay bought #1s through partnerships. Labels buy spins tht increase song popularity. Bundles with merch. It’s been a joke.
At least you know he ain’t lying lol
Stop giving this clown light. Shooting from his gated community on witness protection using my taxpayer dollars *sucks teeth*
Stop being such a bitter ass bitch
Who fucking Care’s, if your not paying Ariana or Justin Bieber bills, shut the fuck up, takashi
I don’t even want to give this guy credit at all, but he is right and maybe we have known this about billboard for a while. One point he said was the hard working artist who doesn’t get the proper #1 when they should and you have people in the background buying their spot. I rather have the music speak for itself and not the money behind it pushing it to #1 and it is pretty much a conspiracy. When artists are like they had 10 #1 hits this decade, how many are actually true? We are talking about stats and greatest of all time, looks likes stats have been inflated and dishonestly accumulated.
Lol pedo got bitch slapped. Yall saying he’s right are just dumb as fuck.
He makes a bunch of noise to the wrong people and now all the media slams him except HipHop sites. I LOLd that he actually went at Billboard and the two biggest pop star brats on earth. He really is dumb, stupid or just dumb.
He can’t sell his music with out publicity stunts and even then there’s no replay value to it. Its shock factor with out memorability. Cant wait this time next year, he will either be dead, or a no body who flopped and owes his label 10M. People forget how many rappers burn all that dough be retards.
How are we dumb? Nicki proved it before and so did other artist prior that is why they discredit Billboard (You really think Travis Scott would out sell her first week?!). Just because this info is coming from a guy looking for attention and has done a lot of dumb sh!t doesn’t mean he is wrong in this aspect. Do your research before you start calling people dumb and focus
He need to worry about is he cheating his kids. If he really want to worry about something.
This is dumb but also kinda funny. 6ix9ine is so focused on being number 1 that he isn’t paying attention to the fact that he not even number 2. I wanna see him go after doja cat and Nicki Minaj since they also beat him
Also is this guy really trying to play the victims? This guy who has only talked about being a gangsta and testing it even though he has yet go after doja cat and Nicki Minaj? This guy who’s complaining about not being #1 even though he’s not even #2?
So let me get this straight. When the billboards corrected his album DUMMY BOY and placed it at #1 he doesn’t complain? But now that the fact his song is now at #3 now he wants to complain? Which is funny because he wants to use people’s lives as leverage even though the only thing he has ever talked about was being gangsta and testing it. SMH
