Tekashi 6ix9ine is spending a small fortune on his hair pieces.
In a new interview with The Shade Room, the “TROLLZ” rapper revealed he drops $15,000 to pay his hair stylist Johnathan Wright every time he switches the look up.
Since his release from prison in April, 6ix9ine has rocked a variety of lace fronts including a blue and green blowout and rainbow braids so he’s definitely running a check up.
6ix9ine has been on the promotion trail for his new album TattleTales, which was released on September 4. Though initially expected to secure a No. 1 debut with projected sales of 150,000, a change in Billboard rules shifted the number drastically. Over 100,000 merch bundles the Brooklyn rapper sold instantly became disqualified, resulting in a readjusted current projection of just around 50,000.

Even 6ix9ine’s close homie Akademiks had to admit the effort flopped, breaking down in a video exactly why the seemingly decent numbers are not good at all.
“You had a No. 1 song in the last couple of months, you’ve done all this trolling — going to Nipsey’s mural, going to O Block — you snitched on n-ggas, you gonna sell 50,000 in the first week and you’ve been clowning other n-ggas who sold 50,000 in the first week,” he said. “You can’t be the numbers guy and then your numbers are weaker than the people you clownin. Doesn’t make sense.”

He wants to be Nicki Minaj sooooo badddd
Hell yea das my boi rite dere.. Meek biting the pillow right now with tears in his eyes
Billboard can switch-up they rules at the last minute all they want but in the end all it do is discredit their credibility as a chart. All we know is, those 100 000 merch bundles purchased represent a core audience and a mass following that King Tekashi has. They can give their number 1 spot to whoever they like but in the end the people know who really topped the charts, who really number 1 in these streets and who really number 1 in New York! Sadly for them, that don’t change..
You silly little sausage…
Silly little sausage!? LoL! You must be confused. You and me are not the same.
Why does he wear wigs? Is the clown hair really that integral to his rebranded persona?
What the F. Music entertainment has went somewhere else these days…
WTF!!!! What Type of man wears colorful lace fronts?!?!?!?! His story get more and more suspect everytime he opens his mouth.
This kid is going to be asking himself some serious questions when he’s flat broke and all he has left to show for it is a shedload of colourful wigs.
Something bad happened during 6ix9ine’s album rollout. People glossed over the fact he had a security failure in his first few weeks out when he was jumped and had to wear a cast. He didn’t promote the album for half of the week of his roll out, probably because he was banking on interviews that fell through: Ghillie (Barstool), Joe Budden, maybe The Breakfast Club, etc. He likely planned a list of tactics to troll people based on the concept of his bundle sales counting, but when that didn’t happen, he was unable to execute his marketing plan. He claims he has a $10 million album deal, and the album retails for $7 and has only sold 55,000 copies. Let’s assume he earned the full value of each unit sold, $385,000 in revenue, plus units from bundle sales, plus merch. Factor in the cost of security, marketing (he’s admitted to artificially juicing video views and album sales to generate buzz) and zero touring due to COVID, and there is little to no way he’s generated even half the value of his contract ($5 million) in revenue. Then consider the fact that this album had so much hype and promotion due to his court case, the likes of which he can never hope to reproduce going forward. His marketability is damaged, and he is going to have a hard time affording security going forward, which is unfortunate considering his key marketing tactic for generating revenue is trolling. Dude is going to have less and less security every year, eventually just 1-2 body guards, and then none. At some point, unless he relocates to another country, he’ll get caught slipping. Sad story for a guy who was a very promising artist.
promising? lmao….yea something bad did happen he got locked up and his story came to light..Done deal for duke. He shoulda known the real credible platforms wasnt going to fuck with him. No one should feel bad for anyone who dont have a plan. He thought shit woulda be the same. free bobby and rowdy they come home no one gonna be talkin bout lace fronts
When the Shade Room asked her (yea her) what her favorite thing to do is. Her answer was getting it up the poop shoot.
I dont understand how this dude is going to claim hes all that when he pays people to hang out with him…
in this situation, men lie, women lie, numbers lie.
people are dying everyday and somehow this cockroach still survives.
