Tekashi 6ix9ine Breaks IG Record With 2M Views During Live Session

American rapper, Tekashi 6ix9ine hosted an Instagram live session for the first time since being released early from prison due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Two million people tuned in to listen to the 24-year-old rapper as he defended his decision to cooperate with federal authorities in the racketeering case against him and the Nine Trey Bloods gang.

Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to 2 years in prison in December 2019 after testifying in US federal court about his involvement with Nine Trey Bloods gang and “snitching” on his alleged former fellow members as part of a plea deal to cut down his jail term.

The rapper was released from prison early because he was vulnerable to the Coronavirus, and he will complete his two-year sentence for racketeering and other charges in home confinement.

In his livestream, Tekashi danced to Bad Boys while playing with a pair of handcuffs while also admitting to being a snitch.

He questioned who he should be loyal to, and bragged about his money and music, claiming “I’m the biggest artist in the world.”

He spoke of attempts on his life and theft of his money, and said that people had tried to kidnap his mother, answering barbs that he’d betrayed his loyalty to the gang by arguing they hadn’t been loyal to him.

“I snitched; I ratted,” he said. “But who was I supposed to be loyal.”

“You live your whole life trying to be a real n***a, trying to be stand up tall loyal guy…If a rat came home like the way I came home and did more numbers than me, I would be mad. You have every reason to be mad,” he said

Tekashi added, “I still came home and I’m a legend at the age of 24 years old because I came home and rat is doing more numbers than you. I would be mad too. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.”
