Tekashi 6ix9ine defended his use of security in a weekend Instagram Live session, which saw him walking around New York. After getting off house arrest, the controversial rapper hit the streets and explained why he’s happy to have protection.
“A lot of people wanna say, ‘Yo, why you always around a whole bunch of security?'” he said. “Nigga, why your favorite rapper dead right now with bullet holes in his face, nigga? Fuck is you talking about? Why y’all favorite rappers getting shot in the fucking face and all that? I’ma give security to me. Y’all ain’t gon’ R.I.P. me, nigga. Y’all not gon’ put me on a t-shirt. I’ll let y’all niggas be gangsta.”
Later during his livestream, 6ix9ine invited DJ Akademiks to join the discussion. The multi-platinum selling artist cited Nipsey Hussle, Pop Smoke and XXXTENTACION’s deaths as reasons why fans should want rappers to have security.
“What’s the problem with security?” he asked. “Hip Hop does not like security, but Hip Hop loves Nipsey Hussle. Hip Hop loves Pop Smoke. Hip Hop loves XXX. What I mean by that — if you really love your favorite rapper, love security too, nigga. Cause [with] security, your favorite rapper would have been here today. You know X. X was my friend, nigga. And X told me, ‘Yo, get security.'”
6ix9ine quickly got to work after his house arrest ended on Saturday (August 1). The polarizing artist shot a video for a new single titled “Punani” and dropped it on Sunday (August 2).
In April, 6ix9ine was granted a “compassionate release” from prison due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although he had to finish serving his sentence for federal racketeering and firearms charges at home, he was able to resume his career.

Despite facing online backlash for snitching, his music has prospered. In June, he earned his first No. 1 song when his Nicki Minaj-assisted single “TROLLZ” reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Yes we are lol… I got be 20 bucks be on him getting wacked before Christmas. Any takers?
I don’t want my feeds filled with him which happen wen ppl die.. so hopefully body never found plus that way hopefully no more releases cus they wait for him to turn up, forever?
Not happening until his protection from the feds is over.
So five minutes ago he tryna boast he so tough to go outside. Now he says he ain’t tough. If he died he wud get too much respect. Better to fade away than burn out. Or if he kidnapped and body never found, that wud work
Rainbow girl, you are snitch, thats why you got whole bunch security
Thats right fuckos! He’s here to stay and none of you clowns will do a damn thing. P.S. Mel Matrix is the worst rapper of all time.
AK wassup
As much as I hate to admit, but this is the most intelligent thing that came out of this guys mouth
No one he mentioned was a snitch.
And hes trying to mix himself in with them, which is insulting to their name…
Fuq outta here, he wouldnt be saying this if he didnt snitch, he’d be calling the names he just mentioned bitches
You clearly missed the whole point because you behave like an emotionally erratic black woman.
Everyone mentions that he’s a snitch. Not sure what you are reading.
I will NOT do 40 years for anyone. I will snitch on you anytime to save my family and myself.
I would snitch in a heartbeat cuz I’m rat bastard fuck!!!!!
The wolves will get him. I think its hilarious that this bitch all quiet on beefing with rappers now. T.I. and Busta rhymes sadly had bodyguards that got killed while working security so security is not a full proof plan. This kid is gonna get whats coming to him he did too many people dirty he lives his life like a movie who he is will be his downfall.
Blah blah blah. None of your sewer dwelling low life idols will do a damn thing to him.
