Criticism and controversy aside, Hip Hop’s troll extraordinaire Tekashi 6ix9ine can’t seem to stop winning. The polarizing artist celebrated his DAY69 mixtape being certified gold by the RIAA in an Instagram video on Wednesday (May 23).
“IT took OTHER niggas 2 years with 2 mixtapes and a WHOLE album on the way Features with Drake, Travis Scott, Swaelee, XXX tentacion, Diplo etc,” he wrote as the caption to the post. “LMAOOOOOOOO I DID IT WITH NOTHING this shows every kid out there YOU DONT NEED TO SUCK NO INDUSTRY DICK TO BE POPPIN.”
This is the third certification for the 22-year-old artist, who scored a gold plaque for “Kooda” and a platinum plaque for his breakout hit “Gummo.” The DAY69 mixtape has spawned six singles that landed on Billboard’s Hot 100 — three of which landed in the Top 10 of the Hip Hop Songs chart.
Despite his musical success, 6ix9ine continues to be in the headlines for the wrong reasons. This week, he allegedly assaulted a police officer and was accused of stealing a beat from a K-Pop group.

Is there a Reason there is no RIAA Certification on it?? I couldnt find anything about it on the RIAA Website either
Probably cos he’s a nonse
Its on the site now. Just checked
because its a streaming plaque
Take that grill out, fool
lol that he even thinks that’s worth bragging about. He released that album back in February, a full 3 months ago. Post Malone is a s*** artist too and he went platinum in under 24 hours… Speaking of which Fruitcake’s album wouldn’t have even gone gold if wasn’t for streaming. It’s everybody listening to the same one or two songs over and over. No one would ever waste money buying that entire album. If he had to rely on album sales he’d be dead broke right now.
post malone has a major label budget,, he’s supposed to sell more.
Wanna know why idiots like this lil dump and whoever else keep outselling everyone in the rap game? Because of situations like kendrick lamar with a fan the other day alienating her setting her up for a horrible fail with what? You guessed it racial divide! Something these dipshits dont talk about just like xxxtentacion was hot till he went all black supremacist then? Fell off… what idiots like kendrick lamar and xxxtentacion dont get is white people are 7/10 of your listeners you wanna alienate them and single them out well? There goes 7/10 of your listeners real smart business moto ask the democrats how its worked for them so far with their upcoming blue drizzle…
Agree. RETIRE THE N-WORD HIP HOP
Pretty much… and they are gonna learn that shit soon the millenials are awakening finaly starting to see their worths and arent gonna be taking that type of shit much longer…
well Vanilla ice went diamond
Congrats to Tekashi, he winning no matter what the haters say.
I guess he never heard any of 50’s pre GRODT mixtapes..
Look at the comments below. Butt hurt white fans now want to tell black artist how to represent their sub culture Lol.
The definition of cultural appropriation is right in front of our eyes.
Want some truth? Wanna hear cultural appropriation? How about 13% of the populatuon trying to say we dont need cops and demand how this country should be run and everythings THEM THEM THEM when there is 65%+ of the population that they alienate with their demands so by your logic white people shouldnt listen to hiphop music well by the same logic black people should just up and move the fuck to the carribean and africa where their culture is the majority then instead of demanding change in a country where they are nowhere near the majority your even outnumbered by hispanics 2-1 caucasians almost 6-1 so black people arent even the #2 densest population in th3 country yet bitch the most thats cultural appropriation fuck boy so if you dont like white people singing along to ALL of your lyrics then either option 1 dont write it if you have a problem with it being repeated by ANYBODY or option 2 go move and set up your labels shit in africa pitching to africans instead of caucasians who would be able to repeat your bullshit without issues sorry to say if white people arent allowed to have anything of their own without 13% of the population getting offended and bitching then black people cant have their own language that they shun anyone who doesnt look like them for using it either then because sorry to say just because your black it doesnt make you ignorant proof your still just ignorant
