Tekashi 6ix9ine’s concert at the University of South Florida has been cancelled by the show’s promotor.
The polarizing Brooklyn rapper was expected to perform at the school’s CFE Arena on September 22 but several students were outraged a convicted felon would be allowed on campus.
Subsequently, student Noemi Teutsch launched a petition calling for the school’s officials to cancel the show.
Evidently, it worked. The CFE Arena announced the news via Twitter on Friday (September 7).
“The Back To School Bash featuring Tekashi 6ix9ine originally scheduled for September 22 at CFE Arena, has been canceled by the show promoter,” the statement read. “Refunds for the show will be available at the original point of purchase.
6ix9ine pleaded guilty to using a child in a sexual performance in 2015. Last month, the Manhattan’s District Attorney’s Office recommended 6ix9ine register as a sex offender.
He’s due back in court on October 2 and faces one to three years in prison. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]

Several students at the University of Central Florida are calling for Tekashi 6ix9ine’s upcoming concert to be cancelled.
According to WFTV 9, student Noemi Teutsch is infuriated by the school’s decision to rent their venue to an outside promotor who booked the polarizing rapper for a performance on September 22.
Teutsch says several of her fellow students are “outraged” that he would even be allowed to set foot on their campus. Subsequently, she’s started a petition asking UCF to cancel the show.
“Universities are supposed to be upholding certain moral standards and certain values,” Teutsch told WFTV 9. “I just can’t believe someone like this would be considered on a university campus to perform.”
In 2015, 6ix9ine pleaded guilty to using a child in a sexual performance after he recruited a 13-year-girl for an explicit video he posted on social media.
In a statement from UCF officials said, “Outside performers can rent the space. However, that does not mean that the university endorses them. At all times, the safety of our campus is our top priority.”
Teutsch doesn’t see it that way.
“As far as I’m concerned, they are endorsing, and they are condoning his behavior because they’re allowing him to come on campus to perform,” she said. “I honestly think it’s ridiculous. It makes no sense whatsoever. Because at some point, you have to draw the line somewhere.”
As of publication, the Change.Org petition has over 5,500 signatures. She hopes the school will decide to cancel 6ix9ine’s show before they’re forced to start a protest.
Earlier this month, the Manhattan’s District Attorney’s Office recommended 6ix9ine register as a sex offender. He is due back in court on October 2 when he’ll face one to three years in prison. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
These kids have too much time on their hands and are so entitled. Why is the concert disturbing her????? What’s her issue
Probably because he’s a fucking pedophile and belongs in jail not on a university campus.
Fuck u,u must be pussy
Yea, fux. Him for sayin these kids who pay tuition for feeling entitled… They should have to share their university campus with a sexual predator.. U must be one too.
I’m goin to sign the petition now. Sex offenders should not be on any campus flat the Fuck out
Haven’t you seen the news? There have been multiple mass shootings in FLA as of late and now here’s this idiot Tekashi encouraging his fan base to ”Get The Strap”. All of this after the murder of XXXtentacion some months ago and for him to turn around and drop a single which grossly promotes violence??? I understand their concern…
Nah he is the man. If u scared of getting shot then don’t go. But there ain’t no mass shootings at a 69 concert. They should feel safe cuz tekashi will shoot back
He’s Fucking Tr3yWay lol
it looks as if he still has a bit of redeeming himself even after when he did his time in prison for what he did.
There’s no redeeming yourself after abusing a child you clown. Once people do this kinda shit then it’s their own death nail.
give the brother a second chance.
He didn’t go to prison he copped a plea. He was too scared to go to prison for his crime
I hope they succeed.
To anyone here with selective memory wondering why people don’t like this little weirdo…….HE’S A PEDOPHILE. HE RECORDED A 13 YEAR OLD CHILD GIVING ORAL SEX!!. No normal human being does that unless your a pedo.
