6ix9ine’s been relatively quiet on social media for much of 2022. Usually armed with several trolling attempts and singles, the Brooklyn rapper hasn’t shared a post on his Instagram account since May 2021 and, according to recent testimony to a judge, is “struggling to make ends meet.”
In court documents obtained by Complex, 6ix9ine informed a judge overseeing his civil lawsuit regarding a 2018 armed robbery his career hasn’t been the same since his time in jail and career-wise, money is drying up and labels aren’t extending him advances.
“Right now, I am struggling to make ends meet,” 6ix9ine claimed in the court docs. “I do not know if I will ever command the kind of advances I was paid before my arrest, and my career stalled. I did receive large advances under the recording artist and merchandising agreements prior to my arrest. However, I do not receive any royalties under those agreements either since my royalty accounts remain unrecouped.”
6ix9ine’s recording deal with TenThousandProjects expired last month and so did his merchandising deal. He first signed with the label in 2017 and released two projects, his Day69 mixtape and his 2018 studio album, Dummy Boy. He resigned to the label days before he was sentenced on racketeering charges in 2019. Following his release from jail, he released a number of singles and his 2020 album TattleTales.

In a final statement to the judge, 6ix9ine foresees bankruptcy as a possibility, stating, “It will surely bankrupt me in a way from which I will never recover to the permanent detriment and hardship of the family members who rely upon me.”
The civil case stems from an April 2018 armed robbery attempt where 6ix9ine and members of the Trey Nine Bloods assaulted Seketha Wonzer and Kevin Dozier, believing they were members of J. Prince’s Rap-A-Lot Records. The two men were actually working as publicists and filed a lawsuit against 6ix9ine in December 2021.
6ix9ine pleaded guilty to the charges in connection with the plea agreement he struck with federal prosecutors regarding his racketeering trial.

This gonna be Lil Durk in two years. The internet has ruined the longetivy of a career as a rapper. Theres a new rapper coming out every week to replace the one that got killed or arrested the week before. What happened to the Wack 100 deal ?
You know Durk been in the game as long as Chief Keef right? You expect him to fall off now?
He already did. Only he n his crew don’t know it yet.
This makes me smile.
You a hater huh!? LoL!
Should’ve never snitched then. You should’ve expected this type of treatment.
All he did was spread luv in the game. Wat snitching u talkin bout!?
N****, Shut up.
Tell homeboy to come through I got work for him. Him and his goons can see if they can get all their hotdogs in my mouth at once. I pay 15 a hour.
its called karma
Its called karma
LMAOOOOO!
I was wonder why he got so quiet because even if his last album didn’t do crazy numbers it would still be “successful” compared to a huge amount of people in the game.
I am assuming that they stalled themselves while clearing up all these legal matters.
I dislike Tekashi but I didn’t think we would actually see him dry up just yet.
He never had the money he fronted about. Advances are loans and have to be paid back. Not only did he owe advance money, he’s getting his ass whipped in court on multiple accounts (has to pay lawyers too), he owes child support, and the security who helps keeps his rat head from being blown off isn’t free either. Let’s not forgot the other issue, his “music” is trash and he’s been found to have manipulated the system for billboard positioning. In other words, he never sold as much music as he fronted about. He was never hot, just a temporary distraction whose chickens have come home to roost.
Instead of crying like a bitch, he should just release music. Let us decide whether we will buy or not. He was trolling instead of recording. What a punk.
69 wack cold garbage
Course he doesn’t want to say he’s got money. He just doesn’t want to give his millions up
The gov’t knows where every single cent of this fool’s money is. He’s not El Chapo.
I see there’s a lotta hatin’ goin on today. Can’t believe we still got people hatin’ on a King sitting on his throne. It don’t matter what they say or do though, they can’t stop the man from receiving his blessings. The streets already know.
He is lying. Remember he said 50 cent showed him how to hide his money and play broke
