    [embedded content]

    A portion of the proceeds from the second collaboration of the ‘GOOBA’ rapper and the ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker will go to the Bail Project which supports those working on the front lines of social justice.
    Jun 12, 2020
    AceShowbiz – 6ix9ine is bringing playfulness and a heavy dose of colors to his second collaboration with Nicki Minaj. A little over one month after releasing his first music video post his release from prison, the “GOOBA” rapper unleashed a brand new visual for “TROLLZ”, his second joint effort with the “Anaconda” hitmaker.
    Three and a half minutes long, the video sees the 24-year-old MC showing off his house arrest ankle monitor at some point. His collaborator, in the meantime, goes seductive, and displays a lot of skin. One of her colorful costumes presents her in nothing but multicolored pasties covering only her nipples.
    “TROLLZ” itself hears the rapper duo individually challenging their haters. “I know you don’t like me, you wanna fight me/ You don’t want no problems at your party? Don’t invite me/ I don’t worry ’bout you n****s, please stop talking ’bout me/ Always talkin’ bout me ’cause you looking for the clouty,” he spits.
    The “Barbie Dreams” raptress, in the meantime, rhymes in her part, “They get nervous when it’s Nicki on the roster/ Somebody ushered this n***a into a clinic/ My flow’s still sick, I ain’t talkin’ a pandemic/ I write my own lyrics, a lot of these b***hes gimmicks/ They study Nicki style, now all of them want to mimic.”
    This song, which reunited the two rappers after their 2018 track “FEFE”, was originally planned to be released on June 5. 6ix9ine, however, decided to push it back out of respect for the Black Lives Matter protests that broke out across the country following the tragic death of George Floyd.
    On Wednesday, June 10, Minaj announced that they will be using the song to support the fight against racial injustice. “A portion of the proceeds from #Trollz including merch items, will be going directly to The Bail Project Inc. [@bailproject]. The fund provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford to pay bail while awaiting their trial,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
    The 37-year-old continued, “We want to protect and support the thousands of brave people working on the front lines of social justice, using their voices to demand AN END to the targeting and killing of Black Americans by the police. #BlackLivesMatter.”

  • Nicki Minaj Defended by Fans After Backlash Over Upcoming 6ix9ine Collaboration

    Instagram

    The ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker has previously stated that she has ‘a mind of their own’ after she was criticized for working with the snitching rapper on his 2018 track ‘FEFE’.
    Jun 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Nicki Minaj was unapologetical when she worked with 6ix9ine back in 2018 and she has proven it by re-teaming up with the New York City artist once again on his upcoming music. As with their previous collaboration “FEFE”, their new project “TROLLZ” has been met with backlash after they announced its release date.
    Critics took to social media to ask the Harajuku Barbie to remove her photos promoting the song and cancel the collaboration altogether. “Post a pic without him queen,” one of her followers wrote in a comment of her tweet announcing the song.
    Labeling 6ix9ine a pedophile, a second user wrote, “Queen please stop working with this pdf file.” Another added, “nicki sweetie…. its not too late to accidentally trip and delete the collab. we can pretend it never happened.”
    “i never heard Fefe in full and im not boutta listen to this either,” one person declared, referring to Nicki and 6ix9ine’s previous collaboration, while someone else compared her to her nemesis Cardi B, “Cardi would’ve never worked wit a Snitch Smh.”
    But some others showed their loyalty to Nicki and came to her defense amid the backlash. “I LOVE THE FACT THAT YALL HAVE ANOTHER SONG TOGETHER,” one excited fan wrote. Another exclaimed, “We ready sis Fire you look tf good!”
    Hitting back at the critics, someone else wrote, “The same ppl running they mouths are the same ones that will sing every word to Fefe when it comes on.”
    Nicki has previously declared that she’s not worried about what others think about her, because she has a mind of her own. “You don’t have to defend me. I’m not afraid of internet trolls, blogs, artists. I don’t jump on band wagons. Many will never know what it feels like to have a mind of their own,” she tweeted back in December 2018, after 6ix9ine was arrested on racketeering, conspiracy to murder, armed robbery and firearms charges.
    The 24-year-old rapper co-operated with the investigators and as part of his plea deal, he got two years behind bars after testifying against the Nine Trey Gang. He’s currently serving the remainder of his jail term in house arrest after he’s released early from prison in April due to the coronavirus pandemic.

  • Nicki Minaj and 6ix9ine to Use New Collaboration Song to Support Black Lives Matter Protests

    Instagram

    Some of the proceeds from ‘Trollz’, which will be released on June 12, will go to The Bail Project Inc. which provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals amid fight against racial injustice.
    Jun 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Nicki Minaj has reunited with fellow rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine for a new song benefitting those in need of bail assistance amid the Black Lives Matter protests.
    The stars, who previously collaborated on 2018 track “FEFE”, have come together for “Trollz”, the second single of Tekashi’s music comeback following a stint behind bars for gang-related crimes.
    The tune will be released on Friday, June 12, and Minaj reveals some of the proceeds will support the ongoing fight for social and racial justice.
    Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, she writes, “A portion of the proceeds from #Trollz including merch items, will be going directly to The Bail Project Inc. The fund provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford to pay bail while awaiting their trial.
    “We want to protect and support the thousands of brave people working on the front lines of social justice, using their voices to demand AN END to the targeting and killing of Black Americans by the police. #BlackLivesMatter”.

    Tekashi had previously decided to press pause on his new music release plans “out of respect” for the Black Lives Matter movement, in the wake of the death of African-American George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer in Minnesota in late May.

    Minaj isn’t the only artist willing to work with Tekashi after he turned on his former gangmembers to cooperate with federal prosecutors and secure a lesser sentence – he’s also teased a sequel to singer Akon’s 2004 release “Locked Up”.

  • Akon Incites Fury With New 6ix9ine Collaboration

    Instagram

    The ‘Right Now (Na Na Na)’ hitmaker enrages people after the ‘Gooba’ spitter shares a video of him with the veteran artist working on ‘Locked Up Part 2′ in the studio.
    Jun 9, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Akon has several times defended 6ix9ine for snitching and he really meant what he said. While many hip-hop stars have denounced the former incarcerated rapper, the Senegalese-American singer/songwriter has shown his support for the New York City artist by collaborating with him following his prison release.
    On Sunday, June 7, the “FEFE” hitmaker previewed a song they’ve worked on, “Locked Up Part 2”. In an Instagram video, he and the “Sorry, Blame It on Me” singer linked up in a studio, possibly at the former’s secret hideout.
    6ix9ine rapped in the clip, “Thinking ’bout the things that I did/ Got me thinking, like, why the f**k I did that?/ Got me wishing that I could take it all back. Fighting with these demons/ Barely even eating/ Barely even sleeping/ This s**t got me tweeking/ Fighting with my lawyers for a better offer/ Just want to see my daughter…”
    He hyped up the upcoming song, which is a sequel to Akon’s 2004’s “Locked Up”, as writing in the caption, “LOCKED UP PART 2 IM ON ALBUM MODE … THIS ALBUM GOING CRAZYYYYYYY … @akon.”

    Needless to say, the two’s collaboration shocked many, with rapper Ice Billion Berg tweeting, “Akon lost all my respect. I felt like he been looking down on Black Americans and him fucking with the enemy of the culture shows it.”
    Another rapper Boskoe 100 commented, “#akon GET OVER HERE . How you go from being locked up to locked in wit a snitch in a rainbow wig? All a da L’s.” Another reacted, “Akon…Black man, what is you doing…? You disgraced all of Senegal for a Mexican in a wig to call you a n***a to your face?? 2020 is showing its whole a** dawg.”
    “Zero interest in that Akon/lil buddy video. Please keep that to yourselves,” a fourth critic wrote. Someone else blasted the music veteran, “Akon. You f**ked up BIG TIME! How can you put 69 after what STYLES P DID FOR YOU! He made you street official. That s**t is SO bad!!!”
    Meanwhile, Styles P who was featured in the original song refused to be affected by the criticism. “My job is 2 remind you 2 boost the immune system n not get distracted by minor things,” he wrote. “i will always consider Akon a brother but we have not spoke or seen each other In years I don’t know 6’9 meaning all 3 of our paths are different.I live by my code n don’t hold others 2 my code.”
    Still, there are fans who are excited for Akon and 6ix9ine’s upcoming release. “Legendary asf,” one commented on the rapper’s post. Another gushed, “This is goin be epic.” Other similar comments read, “Im fliping” and “Can’t wait!”

  • 6ix9ine Pushes Back Release of New Song Again Out of Respect for George Floyd Protests

    Instagram

    The ‘Gooba’ rapper’s new single along with its music video, which was originally slated to arrive on May 22, is now rescheduled for June 12 in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement.
    Jun 4, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Tekashi69 a.k.a. 6ix9ine is honoring the Black Lives Matter movement by postponing the release of his new song. The rapper has announced that his new single, which was originally slated to arrive on May 22, has been pushed back to Friday, June 12 out of respect for the nationwide protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
    The New York City artist took to his Instagram page on Wednesday, June 3 to announce the delay. “Music video will be pushed back again to June 12th,” he wrote on a plain black background, adding, “Out of respect for what we are going through right now.”
    He added in the caption, “It’s not the time for a music video right now with everything going on in the world. It will be extremely selfish,” before assuring fans that it will finally arrive “JUNE 12TH NEXT FRIDAY.”

    The track had been previously postponed twice. In late May, he announced that the song was pushed back another week to this coming Friday, June 5. At that time, he explained that the reason of the delay was simply because the music video was not ready yet.
    As with his previous release, details of the new song are still kept under wraps. 6ix9ine has not announced the new single, though he has opened a contest to let fan decide the title of the song. It’s additionally reported that the song will feature Nicki Minaj.
    “I’m hearing that @6ix9ine has a new track with @NICKIMINAJ coming out soon – Let us wait,” Power 105.1 radio jock Honey German tweeted last month. The “Anaconda” hitmaker reportedly flew to New York to film the music video at 6ix9ine’s home.
    Meanwhile, the “FEFE” hitmaker has been boasting that his new song will break the internet. “NEXT VIDEO WILL BREAK THE INTERNET IM PUSHING IT BACK TILL NEXT FRIDAY MAY 29TH,” he posted on Instagram before postponing the song for the second time.
    6ix9ine’s first post-prison song “Gooba” debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending May 23 and its music video broke Eminem’s YouTube record for the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour period after it was released on May 8.

    Artist of the Week: Tekashi 6ix9ine

    The controversial rapper breaks multiple records with his comeback single ‘Gooba’ and almost sends his rival Ariana Grande to therapy and early retirement due to his overwhelming numbers.
    May 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Almost everything about Tekashi 6ix9ine seems to fascinate people these days. From his rainbow hair, family drama, celebrity feud, criminal record, to musical craft, they often become a topic of discussions on the internet. When he was released from prison early, people were flocking to him.
    The controversial rapper caused a storm online with his first post-jail Instagram Live video. He defended himself for testifying against his former gang and racked up two million views, breaking the record previously held by Tory Lanez and Drake’s Quarantine Radio which had 310,000 viewers.
    The 24-year-old lyricist, real name Daniel Hernandez, soon followed it up with a comeback song called “Gooba”. With catchy beat and lyrics as well as a vibrant music video full of twerking girls and a cute puppy, it’s no brainer that the clip quickly accumulated millions of views on YouTube.
    He garnered over 43 million views in 24 hours, breaking the previous record held by Eminem to become the biggest debut for a hip-hop video in YouTube history. Back in 2018, the Slim Shady amassed 38.1 million views in the first day of release for his Machine Gun Kelly diss song.
    On top of that, “Gooba” became the fastest video to reach 100 million views online, surpassing Taylor Swift’s “ME!” and Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next”.
    The song also dominated the charts. It launched at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart with 55.3 million streams in the U.S. alone and started at No. 3 on Digital Song Sales with 24,000 sold. Meanwhile, it debuted at No. 3 on Billboard Hot 100 and entered the U.K. singles chart at No. 6.
    Although he didn’t get No. 1 on the U.S. singles chart, he gave his rival Ariana quite a scare. In an Instagram Story and now-deleted tweet before the rankings were revealed, the “Dangerous Woman” singer called the release week “terrifying” and said she needed therapy due to the anxiety. She even pleaded with fans to buy her song and hinted at early retirement if the top spot was not hers.

    It was indeed a neck-and-neck race to No. 1. The competition included Doja Cat’s “Say So” remix featuring Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage” remix featuring Beyonce Knowles, The Weeknd’s former champion “Blinding Lights”, and Drake’s “Toosie Slide”.
    Although Tekashi69 was disappointed when he didn’t score No. 1 on Hot 100, he quickly moved on. He’s now gearing up for his next music offering and vows to break the internet again. Details of his upcoming single are still scarce but rumors suggest it’s a collaboration with Nicki Minaj.

    6ix9ine Reportedly Teaming Up With Nicki Minaj for Next Song

    Instagram

    Report of his supposed collaboration with the ‘Anaconda’ raptress comes after the ‘Gooba’ hitmaker claimed that he’s going to ‘break the internet’ with his upcoming music video.
    May 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – 6ix9ine’s recent claim to “break the internet” with his upcoming music might not be an exaggeration. The “FEFE” hitmaker is reported to be prepping a collaboration with one of today’s top hip-hop artists, Nicki Minaj, while he’s serving home confinement.
    According to MTO News, the top secret project is done, with the “Starships” raptress having “already recorded her part” in Los Angeles and “Tekashi did his part” in New York. A source reportedly close to the Trinidad and Tobago-born femcee additionally tells the site that Nicki is traveling to New York to film a video for the new song this coming weekend.
    Should the report of the Nicki duet be true, it will mark 6ix9ine’s first collaboration with any artist since his early release from prison due to the coronavirus pandemic. The “Anaconda” hitmaker, meanwhile, recently earned her first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with Doja Cat’s “Say So (Remix)” which features her.
    Earlier on Thursday, May 21, 6ix9ine told his fans that he intended to cause an even bigger stir with his next music video, following the release of his first post-prison song, “Gooba”. The 24-year-old star posted on Instagram along with a picture of him holding two kittens, “NEXT VIDEO WILL BREAK THE INTERNET IM PUSHING IT BACK TILL NEXT FRIDAY MAY 29TH.”
    “Gooba” music video broke Eminem’s YouTube record for the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour period after it was released on May 8. He, however, was not pleased with the song’s chart performance, accusing Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Billboard of chart manipulation after the two singers’ duet “Stuck With U” reached No. 1 and his debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending May 23.
    Ariana and Justin have denied the allegation, with Billboard responding to the rapper’s “six credit cards” claim. “Billboard and Nielsen Music/MRC Data conducts audits on all sales reported with access to purchase-level detail, and works with data partners to recognize excessive bulk purchases and remove those units from the final sales total. All titles this week, as in every week, were put under the same scrutiny,” Billboard stated.
