6ix9ine Returns With New Song and Defiant Livestream: ‘I Ratted’
The rapper was released from prison early because he was vulnerable to the coronavirus. He released his first new track, “Gooba,” then spoke candidly to an audience of two million.
On Friday afternoon, the rapper and Instagram star 6ix9ine released a new song, “Gooba” — the first new music he has put out since a federal judge in April allowed him to finish the remaining months of his two-year sentence for racketeering and other charges in home confinement.
The song is classic 6ix9ine: spitfire verses filled with boasts about himself and taunts to his detractors. In the music video, the tattooed Brooklyn rapper — who had a meteoric rise presenting himself as a hardened criminal — appeared in candy-colored braids, surrounded by scantily clad dancers who were doused in paint as they twerked. A shrewd self-marketer, he immediately told his fans on Twitter how to buy the clothes he wore.
But the real performance was on Instagram Live.
Shortly after the song was released, 6ix9ine fired up his Instagram account for a livestreamed rant that lasted about 13 minutes and was seen by as many as two million people. 6ix9ine (also known as Tekashi69) has been watched closely by the rap world since he avoided a long sentence — he had faced as much as 37 years — by cooperating with prosecutors against his former gang mates in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
Instead, the rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was sentenced to just two years, and was released early after his lawyer argued that the rapper’s asthma made him vulnerable to coronavirus while in prison.Read more...
