Although 6ix9ine’s willing to go out in public, he’s been doing so with a heavy security detail. When questioned about his use of security during a livestream with DJ Akademiks, the polarizing artist pointed to the deaths of other rappers as examples of why he’s happy to have it.

“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.”
