Tekashi 6ix9ine has been eerily silent since his TattleTales album failed to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last month.
The notorious internet troll can typically be found on Instagram Live talking about other rappers’ low album sales or defending his decision to become the federal government’s star witness in the case against Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and Anthony “Harv” Ellison.
But for the last few weeks, the only headlines 6ix9ine made was for allegedly overdosing on caffeine and the diet pill Hydroxycut and the perceived Morgan Freeman diss on 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s Savage Mode II project.
That changed on Tuesday (October 13) when the controversial rapper resurfaced on Instagram rocking a new look. Not only is his signature rainbow hair brown, he’s also sporting what looks like the beginnings of a beard.
People in the comment section were quick to point out 6ix9ine seemed “humbled” and they credited TattleTales — which Akademiks deemed a “flop” — for the transformation in 6ix9ine’s attitude.
The project was initially expected to move around 150,000 units and debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, which would’ve been 6ix9ine’s first chart-topping album. But instead, around 100,000 of those units were disqualified (which Billboard denied) and TattleTales landed at No. 4 in its opening week — not exactly the powerful comeback 6ix9ine was after.
Billboard Reports Tekashi 6ix9ine’s ‘TattleTales’ Bundles Were Counted In Disappointing Debut
Making matters worse was 6ix9ine’s trolling. For days leading up to the release, the 24-year-old Brooklynite had been clowning other rappers such as Lil Durk and Lil Reese for their numbers, only to be served a hot, steaming piece of humble pie when TattleTales dropped.
Since then, 6ix9ine has been mostly absent from social media. According to The Shade Room, 6ix9ine was briefly hospitalized in Florida for overindulging in coffee and the aforementioned diet pill, something Akademiks confirmed.
“Tekashi was hospitalized two days ago in Florida after he had 2 Hydroxycut pills instead of the recommended 1 per day, which increased his heart rate and caused him to sweat excessively,” the post reads. “Tekashi tells us that this, along with drinking a McDonald’s coffee.”

The King is back!! He is proud and strong as he’s ever been. For the record anybody that knows him knows that humility has always been his best quality. He’s always been about spreading love. From NY, to Chicago, to LA. We all saw how the masses were eating out of the palm of his hand. He gave back so generously. In the near future he’s going to be partnering up with the FBI to make the streets a lot safer by tackling crime head-on. These are all ways he’s been giving back. Can’t wait till drops some new heat!
Perfect example of “Skinny Fat”
Guy is a joke. Dafuq listens to this shit anyways? Nice hair clown.
Glad to see he alright. Im not too interested in the spanish album he gotta do. But Id love to get another album like Day 69 with no singing rap. That was his best work so far. I dont give a fuck about him snitching on his back stabbing associates. I just like the energy he brings to the mic. I agree he gives that Sticky Fingaz vibe.
Is this you Ak lol kill urself stupid. His music is trash. He’s a rat and rat shld die lol.
Why you mad
Wow you guys are idiots
He already rocking the dad bod @ 24? hahahaha
His fans don’t buy music. Their bum asses use hacked spotify accounts and Youtube… That 360 deal money wont last long and the label is cutting their loses now that they see his clown show has reached the end. His rat loving fans were sucking him off and killing him off at the same damn time. Lmfao… Once security can no longer be paid for, it’s off with his head!
