Tekashi 6ix9ine may be plotting a comeback, but it might not be as simple as he thinks. According to TMZ, the currently incarcerated rapper has lost the support of one of New York City’s biggest Hip Hop radio stations — Hot 97.
A Hot 97 executive reportedly said when 6ix9ine is released from prison, the station likely won’t play any of his new songs and doesn’t “anticipate” supporting his music at all.
The exec reportedly wasn’t a fan to begin with and 6ix9ine’s role as government star witness in the case against alleged Nine Trey gang members Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack has made his reputation with the station worse.
6ix9ine has been behind bars since last November. During his testimony last month, he admitted he’d agreed to cooperate with the feds only one day after his arrest in hopes of a lighter sentence. Although he was originally facing at least 47 years in prison, his cooperation could get him out as soon as early 2020.
The rap community is not amused. Snoop Dogg, The Game and Ice-T are among the many who have criticized the 23-year-old for “snitching.”
In an interview with HipHopDX, Ice-T explained, “He stepped in some shit that he ain’t going to be able to get off his shoe. It’s not going to go away.”
6ix9ine is expected to be sentenced on December 18.
King? FOH! Based on what? Being a brief flash in the pan, flavor of the year? Duke aint even close to a prince.. More like a court jester since he’s a clown.
Yeah, but let’s play other acts that push and glorify trash for a check/spin/look….they aren’t any different. They aren’t snitching but they aren’t doing right by youngins who watch and listen.
They gonna interview some C grade rapper with unlimited shotty/birds bars within the next month, put bread on it
That is stupid, why not play the little nigga music, because he did the right night, all these niggas killing me, fronting on the nigga now, but the truth of it all they would of done the same thing 69 did, and this have been my problem with the black community for year, the glorify the wrong things but put down the wrong things wouldn’t play the nigga but will play all these other niggas music that have nothing positive to say are you kidding me
Stfu
Nigga go eat a dick
because radio matters lol whuts dis 1995? he dont need radio or sales if he did get 10 mil to sign he just has to deliver record to the label, this gen deserves him
LOL. So Hot97 now has to show how gangsta it is by not giving the radio play to a snitch? I don’t really give fuck about the dude, but the fact that a professional radio station act like this is laughable.
Smart, ban the dude that’s cleaning up your streets of murderers and gangbangers. Smh how about instead of punishing someone for doing the right thing, we punish those who do wrong. This street mentality is what keeps good people down. That’s a shame, we should be banning gangbanging music. But I mean aye, whatever gets those views and streams up, right? Smh
And I know takashi makes that gang banging shit music too, but the point is, he is being banned for doing right, not only by him but for the greater good of the block/neighborhood.
I mean for real forreal, do ya like living amongst criminals? Do better
Reading you comment, you seem highly upset… Go listen to Baby Shark if you don’t want to hear street shit. This is Hip Hop/Rap you f*cking pussy! Smh! Ain’t shit changing for your b*tch ass so go find another genre to listen to.. And Shout out to Hot 97! You Rats thought King rat was going to have it easy out here… Nah man. Lmao
Where do you draw the line at snitching if a kids abused is it snitching to get the police? if your mother was the victim of a random gang initiation and was stabbed should she keep it thoro in these streets? If a gang of 12 random dudes knock on your crib in the middle of the night saying the chick you just fuc*ed was one of their girls and you dead you gonna go Schwarzenegger and fight them all or you running for your cell phone?
Lol at cleaning up the streets like he’s Batman or some shit
The Government calls Rats whistleblowers and can’t stand them They even try to get the locked up… Yet Pussies are on here trying to say he’s being punished for doing the right thing… LMFA… Nah, your pussy ass father taught you that snitching was the right thing and lied to you! Lmfao
It’s cute that they really think they matter. Radio is dead, they don’t influence shit anymore. 69 was a internet rapper, and he’ll keep making numbers that way. Radio doesn’t hold a monopoly anymore, and the fact that they think they still hold weight, is sad as hell.
So I’m guessing, based off of your comment that you will be supporting that Rat… Huh? Shit don’t make you feel funny listening to somebody who exposed himself as a fraud and turned into a Rat? Maybe that’s because that’s who you are too. Iget it… Smh! LoL
Dude people listen to Rick ross. A police officer smh. The radio supports police and not snitches thats some fucked up shit right there
No, I don’t support him, I honestly don’t give a shit about him snitching, but that’s because I live in the real world, where kiddy codes are just that, kiddy codes for kids and man babies. You can guess all you want, that just makes you look bitch made, assuming things like a female. You do you though.
I hope you now understand when people like Ebro refuse to entertain people like this. Hip hop is too soft and laid back rules need to be enforced by the older hip hop legends. Hip hop is the only art form that is strictly street influenced music that is for everybody as long as you follow the principles
I hate snitch nine because he is wack. Let’s be real the radio is dead! They play so called music we don’t even like. Anyway, We protect criminals who don’t care about the neighborhoods and shoot down innocent people. I love hardcore HIP HOP MUSIC but something must change. America was birthed on violence so what do you expect.
snitching is good. anyone who thinks drug dealing killers don’t belong in prison is a retard. don’t join the gang lifestyle if you dont wanna get snitched on you idiots
This whol le reaction and cancel culture has been hilarious to witness considering so many OG rappers that are beloved by the hip hop culture have been proven to be snitches… Half of those snitches are talking shit about 69 as well haha. It’s ironic to say the least. None of these supposed hip hop fans or OGs had the wits or self respect for to ban 69 the pedofile dbag from the start, but snitching made them do it? Being a pedofile wasn’t enough for them? Hot 97 and all of these hip hop heads JUST NOW taking badly bout 69 are bullshitters. They all played a part in his growth in popularity, and now act all high and mighty… Bitch, you created this guy!
Now ignorant liberals like Hot 97 are baning their own when it doesn’t follow their own fake street persona. I’m sure they’ll pretend to be anti violence also as long as all their puppet followers agree and only when it doesn’t involve snitching. Otherwise violence is cool right? This pop rap is so fake all the way the websites like this and the dead as hell radio stations like Hot 97.
I farted.
Hot 97 need to stop. That’s stupid gang shit. They run a legitimate business. Act like it.
A radio station banning music in the streaming era… ??
It’s always 6IX9INE this and 6IX9INE THAT
That nigga EBRO, he a BITCH
Just another OLD nigga on a young nigga DICK
You think if you turned up in Rosenbergs suburb and Knocked on his door and said you were gonna stomp his ass out he wouldn’t call the cops or Ebro?
In this crazy era of hip hop, Stakes is High by De la soul and Jeru tha damaja playin yourself look prophetic more than 20 years later
Never heard a song by this clown looking fool, and have no interest in hearing his music either.
HOWEVER – how many of y’all would seriously accept 47 years behind bars? If someone told me I’m looking at 47 years OR I could get serious time off my sentence by dropping others in it, I’m sure as hell taking the latter.
To hell with the ‘code of the streets’ when it comes to spending over half your life locked away, unable to spend time with family, unable to meet a girl and settle down and all that. No chance in hell I’d forgo that if I was given a chance, and if any of you suggest otherwise, then you’re some utter halfwits.
of course they are half wits. The gang culture is continued because of lack of education. I mean, just being in a gang makes you ignorant by default doesn’t it?
And that is why you don’t mess with fire that you cannot extinguish. This clown trolled to the point of no return, because he got greedy. Life slapped him with the consequence and he sought an easy way out, but snitching has repercussions which he will eventually succumb to I bet. He ain’t built for life and obviously you ain’t either with a stupid defense of snitch nine here. gtfoh
so hot 97 came out and said this was fake news on their ig page so how does this get reported
” They gonna interview some C grade rapper with unlimited shotty/birds bars within the next month, put bread on it”
Go on youtube this morning and low and behold, they post a DNA funk flex freestyle and he spittin bout the holy shotty….lol too predictable
Where this world is coming to ?…he should be shot dead. Amen ??
