      Tekashi 6ix9ine Vows to 'Break the Internet' With New Music Video

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Gooba’ hitmaker is gearing up for the release of his next music offering and vows to cause an even bigger stir on the internet with the new music video.
      May 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tekashi 6ix9ine has high hopes for his upcoming music video, vowing to “break the internet” with the release.
      The rapper, real name Daniel Hernandez, broke Eminem’s YouTube record for the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour period after releasing his comeback track “GOOBA” earlier this month, May 2020, following his recent release from jail.
      Tekashi has now told his fans that he intends to cause an even bigger stir with his next music video, sharing an Instagram photo of himself holding a kitten in each hand as he revealed he’s moved the release date for the song in question to next Friday, May 29. “NEXT VIDEO WILL BREAK THE INTERNET IM PUSHING IT BACK TILL NEXT FRIDAY MAY 29TH,” he wrote beneath the snap.

      Despite the success of “GOOBA”, the star hit headlines after taking issue with Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, and Billboard officials after his track missed out on the U.S. number one spot.
      After only reaching number three, Tekashi alleged that “you can buy Number Ones on Billboard,” prompting denials from Grande and Bieber over accusations the rapper made about sales of their charity collaboration, “Stuck With U”.
      “To anybody that is displeased with their placement on the chart this week or who is spending their time racking their brain thinking of as many ways as they can to discredit hardworking women (and only the women for some reason…), I ask you to take a moment to humble yourself,” Grande said in a statement.
      Billboard also issued a statement, clarifying their position on the matter and revealing the respective sales figures for “GOOBA” and “Stuck With U”.

      Akon Readily Accepts 6ix9ine's 'VERZUZ' Battle Challenge

      by

      Instagram

      Stars from the hip-hop world have been trading songs as part of Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s hugely popular Instagram Live series during the coronavirus lockdown.
      May 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Singer Akon has accepted a challenge by rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine to battle it out on Instagram Live on Monday afternoon, May 18.
      Stars from the R&B and hip-hop world have been going hit-for-hit as part of Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s hugely popular “VERZUZ” series during the coronavirus lockdown, with Ludacris and Nelly trading songs in the latest round on Saturday night.
      The following day, Tekashi declared he wanted to get in on the action, too, and called on Akon to square off with him online – a challenge readily accepted by the “Smack That” hitmaker.
      “@6ix9ine just challenged me to a battle tomorrow at 3:30pm Live on IG. ITS ON (sic),” Akon announced.

      Their music battle doesn’t appear to have anything to do with the official VERZUZ brand, but fans can tune into the fun on both Akon (https://www.instagram.com/akon/) and Tekashi’s (https://www.instagram.com/6ix9ine/) Instagram pages at 3.30pm ET.
      The “Fefe” MC was released from prison early last month (April) to serve the remainder of his sentence for gang-related crimes under home confinement.
      He has been working hard to relaunch his career ever since, and recently dropped his first new track and accompanying music video for “Gooba” online.

      Scooter Braun Thanks Ariana Grande for Being Humble in the Wake of 6ix9ine Attack

      by

      Instagram

      After the ‘Stuck With U’ singer hit back at accusation that she and Justin Bieber manipulated chart result, her manager offers the ‘Gooba’ rapper a lengthy explanation on how the chart works.
      May 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ariana Grande’s manager, Scooter Braun, has jumped on the singer’s lengthy attack on Billboard Hot 100 chart rival Tekashi 6ix9ine after he suggested she and Justin Bieber didn’t deserve to be number one.
      The rapper, who bowed at three on the new countdown with “Gooba”, accused the pop pair of buying their way to the top of the countdown, prompting Grande to issue a long statement shooting down his claims and urging Tekashi to be “humble” and “be grateful you’re even here.”
      Her response prompted a comeback from the rap star, who added, “I don’t want you to think that I’m coming at you. I’m not saying you’re not talented, I’m not saying you can’t sing. You’re a beautiful singer, you just don’t understand my pain.”
      He had previously told fans in a video that he had learned the same credit card had been used to buy multiple copies of Bieber and Grande’s duet.
      And now Braun has joined the feud, offering Tekashi a lesson in how the chart works, “Only domestic streams are counted for a domestic chart. If someone is counting their total they aren’t counting correctly… We never disclose our sales until end of week. That is called strategy and is and always has been our policy… Nielsen (chart compilers) and billboard rules state clearly one credit card can only buy max 4 copies (sic). Anything above that the entire amount gets thrown out. They review that. All must be confirmed. Which it was.”
      Scooter confirms there was an investigation surrounding this week’s charts, but adds, “it was into a video that had 6 times the amount of paid bot activity than the normal video. That video was not ours.”
      He added, “Ariana thank you for being so humble. Others should do the same.”
      Braun also made it clear he is “proud” of Grande and fellow charge Bieber’s latest chart achievement, adding, “honored to stand with you always.”

      Justin also responded to 6ix9ine’s claims on social media, adding, “He said 30k was bought with 6 credit cards but that is a lie. The rules are clear one credit card can buy max 4 copies (sic). Anything over that the entire amount gets thrown out (sic).”
      “Nielsen (chart compilers) company checks this and found all our sales were legit because our fans are amazing and bought them. Don’t discredit our fan base with false info.”
      He also ripped in to the rapper for failing to mention he’s part of the song in his initial attack on Grande, adding: “If you gonna say her name make sure you say mine because it’s our song.”

      6ix9ine Trolls Justin Bieber for Defending Ariana Grande Amid Billboard Drama

      by

      Instagram/WENN

      This arrives after Ariana addresses the allegations made by the ‘Gooba’ artist that she manipulated the Billboard 100 chart to make her and Justin’s new song ‘Stuck With U’ top it.
      May 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The Billboard drama involving 6ix9ine a.k.a. Tekashi69 and Ariana Grande continues to heat up. Further making it complicated was Justin Bieber, who is featured in Ariana’s “Stuck With U”, as he posted a lengthy Instagram post to defend his collaborator after being accused of chart manipulation by the rapper.
      “He says his streams don’t count. Yes they do but he is counting his global streams and this is a domestic chart so only domestic streams count,” the “Despacito” hitmaker said of Tekashi in a Instagram Story post on Monday, May 18. “60,000 units came because we don’t disclose our numbers until the end of week. That’s called strategy.”
      “He said 30k was bought with 6 credit cards but that is a lie. The rules are clear one credit card can buy max 4 copies. Anything over that the entire amount gets thrown out. Nielsen company checks this and found all our sales were legit because our fans are amazing and bought them. Don’t discredit our fan base with false info,” Justin continued weighing in on the matter.
      He added, “This is my song with Ariana Grande and I’m honored to work with her to help raise money for a great cause. If you gonna say her name make sure you say mine because it’s our song.”

      Tekashi caught wind of the post and reacted to it. However, he didn’t spare much thought as the rapper only trolled Biebs for wanting credit for the song. ” ‘Say my name too,’ ” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a skull emoji.

      Tekashi69 trolled Justin Bieber for defending Ariana Grande.
      This arrives after Ariana addressed the allegations from the “Gooba” artist that she manipulated the Billboard 100 chart to make “Stuck With U” top it. “I would like to address a few things which i don’t usually do (i don’t give my energy to drama or strange accusations normally but this has gone a little too far)… my fans bought the song. JUSTIN’S fans bought the song. OUR fans bought this song (never more than four copies each, AS THE RULES STATE). they are ride or die motherf**kers and i thank god every day that i have them in my life. Not just when they fight for us to win (even when i ask them not to as i did this week) but because they’re some of the greatest people i know,” she said on Instagram.
      Tekashi quickly responded to it with a new video. “I don’t want you to think that I’m coming at you. I’m not saying you’re not talented, I’m not saying you can’t sing. You’re a beautiful singer, you just don’t understand my pain. My frustration is from Billboard. I speak for the millions of kids that come from nothing, right,” he explained.

      Ariana Grande Asks 6ix9ine to Humble Himself After He Accused Her of Chart Manipulation

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘7 Rings’ hitmaker has topped the Billboard Hot 100 with her Justin Bieber collaboration, ‘Stuck With U’, but the ‘Gooba’ rapper suggests that the two bought their way to the top.
      May 19, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ariana Grande has fired back at rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine after he suggested she and Justin Bieber bought their way to the top of the U.S. charts.
      The pop pair’s new track, “Stuck With U”, debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on Monday, May 18 – two spots above the rap star, whose “Gooba” bowed at three.
      After picking up a copy of the new countdown, Tekashi posted a video from his post-prison home confinement and said, “I want the world to know that Billboard is a lie. You can buy number ones on Billboard.”
      He added, “They purchased half of those things with six credit cards. When we asked where was those six credit cards linked to, Billboard said, ‘We can’t disclose that information’ (sic).”

      Angry Ariana was quick to dismiss the rapper’s claims as she thanked fans for giving her a third number one debut.
      “Anyone who knows me or has followed me for a while knows that numbers aren’t the driving force in anything i do,” she wrote on social media. “i’m grateful to sing. grateful to have people who want to listen. grateful to even be here at all. i didn’t have a number one for the first five years of my career and it didn’t upset me at all because from the bottom of my heart, music is everything to me. my fans are everything to me. i promise i couldn’t ask for another f***ing thing.”
      “I would like to address a few things which i don’t usually do (i don’t give my energy to drama or strange accusations normally but this has gone a little too far)… my fans bought the song. JUSTIN’S fans bought the song. OUR fans bought this song (never more than four copies each, AS THE RULES STATE). they are ride or die motherf**kers and i thank god every day that i have them in my life. Not just when they fight for us to win (even when i ask them not to as i did this week) but because they’re some of the greatest people i know.”
      And she wasn’t done there, adding, “Sales count for more than streams. u can not discredit this as hard as u try. to anybody that is displeased with their placement on the chart this week or who is spending their time racking their brain thinking of as many ways as they can to discredit hardworking women… i ask u to take a moment to humble yourself. be grateful you’re even here. that people want to listen to u at all. it’s a blessed position to be in (sic).”
      She concluded her carefully-worded rant by stating, “Congratulations to all my talented a** peers in the top ten this week. even number 3. And thank u to @billboard for this honor.”

      Tekashi responded with a new video on Monday, addressing Ariana directly and saying, “I don’t want you to think that I’m coming at you. I’m not saying you’re not talented, I’m not saying you can’t sing. You’re a beautiful singer, you just don’t understand my pain. My frustration is from Billboard. I speak for the millions of kids that come from nothing, right. Let me show you something…”
      He then revealed an old video of himself and shared TV footage of Ariana playing Cat Valentine, before adding that he comes from “a different background,” mentioning his mother “used to collect cans on the street” while he used to “be a dishwasher.”
      He captioned the video, “@arianagrande All I’m saying is I worked super hard to make it out of Brooklyn NY (New York),” adding that he grew up on welfare, without a father.

      Tekashi concluded his post with, “YOU ARE VERY TALENTED AND BEAUTIFUL GOD BLESS YOU. But you will NEVER UNDERSTAND MY PAIN.”

      6ix9ine Blasts Billboard for Allegedly Manipulating Hot 100 Chart

      by

      Instagram

      The Brooklyn rapper has taken to his Instagram account to share a video of him pointing proofs that Billboard is playing ‘favorites’ and getting ‘paid for No. 1s.’
      May 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – 6ix9ine a.k.a. Tekashi69 is calling out Billboard. The “Gooba” hitmaker accuses Billboard for purposedly cheating him out of Hot 100 chart by manipulating it as his new single fails to nab the No. 1 spot.
      On Friday, May 15, the Brooklyn rapper took to his Instagram account to share a video of him pointing proofs that Billboard was playing “favorites.” In the clip, he showed an email that was purportedly sent to major record labels on Thursday.
      The email had Doja Cat’s “Say So” at No. 1, while his single “Gooba” followed it up at No. 2. Meanwhile, The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” was at No. 3, and Megan Thee Stallion and Beyonce Knowles’ “Savage” was at No. 4. Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s latest collaboration “Stuck With U” concluded the top five.
      Tekashi later claimed that Billboard sent another email “last second” on Thursday night. The new email had “Stuck With U” ascending from No. 5 to No. 1 after gaining 60,000 units “out of nowhere.” He said in the video, “[Grande and Bieber] went from being fifth place to first place out of nowhere. So ‘Gooba’ never jumps to No. 1, but Ariana jumps from No. 5 to No. 1?” He also pointed out that Billboard promoted in a tweet signed physical copies of the “Stuck With U” single.
      “I’ll be real disappointed ’cause this is for every rapper, artist in the world. Every genre. If you manipulate the charts right and you create bundles…’Gooba’ streamed over 200 millions streams–more than ‘Stuck With U’, Doja Cat, more than every artist that released a song this week double the times. It’s a landslide,” he said, before adding that Sony and Universal Music requested audits.
      He continued, “Because literally, you’re manipulating the charts now. So, Billboard, the world is watching … If y’all do this to every artist in the world, how can an artist that works hard get No. 1? How?”

      Prior to this, 6ix9ine warned Billboard in a now-deleted post. “We love you (Billboard) and always supported the charting,” he said. “On every platform we are dominating by a LANDSLIDE. The numbers are there and to be looked at. WITH NO RADIO WE ARE DOMINATING THE STREAMS. I will hate to believe that people pay for their spins on the radio and making manipulating bundles to manipulate the chart. Again it’s still early Im just making it clear that the world is watching.”

      Snoop Dogg Urges Tidal to Stop Pushing 6ix9ine's 'Gooba'

      by

      WENN/Instagram

      After Tekashi’s new single smashed YouTube’s record for the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour span, Snoop rants online, ‘All these media outlets making snitching cool.’
      May 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Snoop Dogg implored bosses at streaming service Tidal to “stop pushing” Tekashi 6ix9ine’s new music, as the rapper embarked on a comeback following his release from prison.
      The rapper is currently under house arrest after leaving jail earlier this year to serve the rest of his sentence for gang-related charges of racketeering, firearms offences and drug trafficking in New York at home amid the coronavirus crisis.
      The star, real name Daniel Hernandez, notoriously testified against fellow members of the Nine Trey Gang in February 2019 in exchange for a reduced sentence on racketeering charges, and Snoop is among the many who have lashed out at Tekashi’s attempts to revive his career.
      After dropping new single “Gooba”, which smashed YouTube’s record for the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour span, Snoop commented on an Instagram post shared by Elliott Wilson, Tidal’s chief content officer, “They gotta stop pushing this (rat).”
      “All these media outlets making snitching cool. I’m old school. F**k 69 and everybody pushing his line right now, all New York GZ feel me on this and if you don’f**k u2.”
      Addressing Tekashi’s long-standing feud with Meek Mill, the hitmaker added, “@meekmill if you allow sucka s**t you a sucka. Love you cuz stay sucka free.”

      Tekashi made his much talked about return to the public eye with an Instagram Live session on Friday (May 08), which broke another record after attracting an audience of two million fans.

      6ix9ine Offers Explosion of Colors in Music Video for First Post-Prison Song 'Gooba'

      by

      [embedded content]

      The ‘Fefe’ rapper releases a visual for his brand new single a little over one month after he got an early release from jail because of the coronavirus pandemic.
      May 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tekashi 6ix9ine returns to the music scene with a bang. The “Fefe” rapper, who is currently under home confinement following his early release from jail due to the coronavirus pandemic, has released a brand new music video for his first post-prison single, “Gooba”, treating fans to an explosion of colors.
      Under three-minute long, the visual sees the hip-hop performer sporting every color of the rainbow in his braids and on his puffer jacket. He is joined by six scantily clad dancers, his girlfriend Jade and a Dalmatian puppy as he spits rhymes filled with reference to COVID-19 and his cooperation with federal prosecutors.
      Tekashi has served as the director of the music video along with CanonF8 and David Wept. He was likely to have shot the visual in his backyard since he has been granted a permission to do so by a New York judge. He is also allowed to work on new music in his basement and carry out two hours of employment related activities per week.
      Hours after the release of the promo, the MC whose real name is Daniel Hernandez bragged that it has collected 16 million views in just 4 hours. “YouTube is frozen,” he declared on an Instagram post that has since been deleted. “And with this GOODNIGHT I literally s**tted on every hater and doubter keep punching the air ILL BE MAD TOO how a rat litter then you #nastywork.”
      Tekashi was sentenced to two years in jail for racketeering charges back in December 2019. Prior to his sentencing, the 24-year-old rapper testified against his former Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang members in court. He was actually expected to be given an early release and return home in late July 2020 before coronavirus broke out.
      In January, Tekashi’s lawyer filed a motion to allow him to serve the remainder of his sentence under home confinement or in a community correctional facility. It was not until early April that he was granted the request due to his history as an asthma sufferer. Throughout the four months he will spend under “home incarceration”, he is fitted to a GPS tracking device.
