6ix9ine Bio

In the short time he was on the scene, Tekashi 6ix9ine captured America's attention with an increasing number of controversy and provocations. He was hip-hop's most famous troll and a master at inciting anger and converting it into feverish fame. While it's a technique which has been utilized before, 50 Cent dissed his way into rap's throne in the early 2000s However, his rapid success with an international audience of millions was only possible in the smartphone age. He didn't have to be liked; all you needed to do was have an opinion. Elliot Grainge (CEO of 10K Projects' Tekashi label) told me this summer that "he is the Donald Trump" of the music industry. "We examine the numbers -- 80 percent of the comments are hate. However, if we show you the analytics on the people who write hateful comments, it's those who attend the shows and purchase the T-shirts!" The "Gummo" video launched Hernandez on three distinct trajectories -- one that has made him famous, one that made him famous and another that could bring him to the end of his career. The viral phenomenon "Gummo", powered by the memorable 6ix9ine photo was platinum-certified in only a few months. This popularity spike led to the disclosure of Hernandez's prefame past. He pleaded guilty to child-sex charges and this case would be a landmark for Hernandez. However, it was his first meeting with Kifano Jordan, a.k.a. "Shotti," that would be the most significant moment of the summer day in Brooklyn. Shotti was said to be a member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, an element of the infamous prison gang that was established in New York's Rikers Island prison in 1993. He was the one who created the menacing group of young men seen in the video, and who would later become Tekashi's non-official manager. Then, as the authorities claim that he was threatening the life of Tekashi. People who knew Hernandez are certain that before he met Shotti and Tekashi, he wasn't involved in gang life in any way. In the 12 months after the video shoot in Brooklyn, Hernandez would be in a jail cell facing 32 years to life for charges that included the attempted murder of a man with an armed weapon.
