It’s been chaotic watching Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s return to the rap game play out. Initially, it was unclear if he would retain any of his supporters but, after debuting his comeback single at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, that much was proven false. It did not seem to be plausible, given his status as a snitch, that he would be able to secure any features on his tracks but, this week, both Akon and Nicki Minaj were confirmed to be working with him. Apparently, they’re not alone.

Tekashi 6ix9ine’s close friend DJ Akademiks has started teasing another major feature that the rapper has secured, but he’s not giving away the artist’s identity. The only thing he is saying is that we’ll all be surprised by who it is.

“If this [Nicki] collab shocked them… can’t wait till u put out the collab u did wit one of the biggest gangstas in hip hop that’s gon break the net,” wrote DJ Akademiks in an Instagram comment.

Who do you think he’s referring to? The first person that comes to mind is 50 Cent, but he has previously claimed that he will no longer be associating with the rapper. Another possibility is Casanova, who the rapper got close to before getting locked up.

What do you think is coming up?

Tekashi 6ix9ine is the biggest troll in the music industry and maybe aside from 50 Cent, there is no one who can really touch him. This sentiment isn’t an endorsement of his antics, in fact it is quite the opposite of that. With that being said, artists always seem to take the bait when it comes to 6ix9ine and during his Instagram Livestream with the notorious DJ Akademiks, 6ix9ine had plenty of targets he wanted to get to.

During the stream, 6ix9ine took a pretty interesting swipe at Blueface and then proceeded to besmirch the name of BlocBoy JB. As you can see in the clip below, 6ix9ine refers to BlocBoy as a “one-hit wonder” and effectively calls him washed. BlocBoy was eventually made privy to these comments and swiped back at 6ix9ine saying: “don’t mention my name if you ain’t on no gangsta shit.”

Clearly, BlocBoy didn’t appreciate the swipe especially since the rainbow-haired rapper asked Akademiks if BlocBoy was working at “Wendy’s” now. By now, it should be pretty obvious that Tekashi is simply trolling for some attention but still, even in these hard times, the man doesn’t skip a beat.

At this point, Tekashi is starting to run out of targets.

The world is in peril and, doing the right thing, Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 6ix9inepushed back his new music release another week. Now is not the time to be dropping, unless you're speaking on what's happening during the protests.

As we continue to fight for change and an end to systemic racism and police violence, Tekashi 6ix9ine decided that the next best thing to do was to provide people entertainment as only he knows how: by trolling and getting back together with DJ Akademiks.

The rapper teamed up with his good buddy for a 45-minute live-stream, where they discussed everything from Blueface's one-hit-wonder status, Trippie Redd and his ex-girlfriend, their love for the late Pop Smoke, and more. They even mimicked YK Osiris' cringe-worthy boxing skills by facing off against each other and earning tons of face-palm emojis in the comments.

"Who’s behind this ridiculousness?" asked Royce Da 5'9", reposting a video of their bout.

One of the high points from the Live session -- if you can believe that there were any -- came when Tekashi spoke about fellow Brooklyn talent Pop Smoke.

"I'm actually a fan of the kid," he says. "Rest in peace, Pop Smoke. Listen, they shouldn't have done that. That was a great talent from New York City. And I think, to be honest with you, he was the fresh New York City."

Check out some highlights below.

There is much going on in the world, and Tekashi 6ix9ine took a moment to address a few things on Instagram. The controversial rapper has been a whirlwind on social media over the last few weeks, and he's back with more, this time with his good friend DJ Akademiks by his side. The pair were on Instagram live together for nearly an hour as they chatted about the industry, shared a split-screen with fans, and called out rappers. There encounter is sure to rub a few people the wrong way, but that's never deterred either 6ix9ine or Akademiks from speaking their minds.

They covered much during their exchange, including making a bet that if 6ix9ine sold more than Lil Uzi Vert, Akademiks had to delete his Instagram. The friends also discussed rappers reaching out to 6ix9ine privately to do songs with him while publicly treating him as if he's a pariah. Akademiks also asked 6ix9ine about one-hit wonders and mentioned names like YK Osiris, BlocBoy JB, and Blueface. 6ix9ine had to inquire about all of the rappers because he acted as if he didn't know who they were and asked if Blueface was "the kid with the fake watches."

During the conversation, 6ix9ine also chatted about his lyrical content, specifically the bars about not snitching. He also mentioned that once he decided to testify against his associates, he never looked back. Check out the video in its entirety below.

A viral video of Gunna speaking about his cousin's murder charge, from way before the fame, caught everybody's renewed attention this week, leading many to comment on whether or not the rapper is a snitch because of it. Gunna addressed the topic on The Breakfast Club, denying the fact that he stopped any crimes and claiming to not be about that life.

This week, Freddie Gibbs seemingly spoke about the video, claiming that anybody who appears on a Crime Stoppers type show is a snitch. A bunch of media outlets, including ours, assumed that Gangsta Gibbs was talking about Gunna. Given the timing, it made sense. However, he has since spoken out and said that it was just a general statement.

Clapping back at DJ Akademiks after he called the post "ignorant," Freddie Gibbs denied dissing Gunna.

PARTYNEXTDOOR just dropped his new album PARTYMOBILE, which marked his official return to the game. He never really dropped off in popularity though. For years, the Toronto native has been one of the most prominent figures in R&B. 

When DJ Akademiks took a look into the latest streaming numbers for R&B artists, he was surprised to make a few discoveries. For one, Ak didn't know just how impactful 6LACK has become. Although he didn't make any observations about PARTYNEXTDOOR's placement as sixth on the list, the recording artist caught wind of the numbers and decided to voice his frustration.

Re-posting the numbers with a cap emoji, it looks PND wants a recount. If the statistics are accurate, that would mean that Frank Ocean remains the most popular R&B artist on streaming platforms, despite his musical inactivity in recent years. He is followed directly by 6LACK, Daniel Caesar, Bryson Tiller, and the self-proclaimed king of the genre Jacquees. 

PARTYNEXTDOOR clocked in 937 million streams, which is nothing to scoff at. In fact, that's more than most artists will ever see in their lifetime. However, he's not trusting of the source, calling out whoever put the list together and determining it false news.

Do you think PND's numbers are actually higher?

Here we go… Celina Powell, a self-proclaimed thot and one of the industry’s most notorious ones at that, has been peddling her official OnlyFans account and, lo and behold, she’s claiming to have some dirt.

If you’ve heard of Celina Powell, you likely already know of her alleged sexcapades with rappers like Snoop Dogg, Tory Lanez, 6ix9ine, Offset, and more. She was caught blatantly lying about being pregnant with Offset’s child, nearly breaking up the man’s marriage with Cardi B and, these days, she’s seemingly trying to split up another one of hip-hop’s royal couples.

Several months ago, Powell claimed that Snoop Dogg flew her out and they had a cocaine-fueled sex romp. Apparently, that was all caught on video because this week, the self-proclaimed Black Widow allegedly uploaded clips to her OnlyFans of her and Snoop Dogg, 6ix9ine, and DJ Akademiks.

“I dropped exclusive NEVER before seen tapes on 69 and Snoop. Ya’ll thought I was playing. I keep every video,” she reportedly wrote on Instagram Stories, according to Bossip.

On her OnlyFans page, she is charging $29.25 for alleged sex tape footage of Snoop, Tekashi, and Ak. Of course, there is a chance that she is capping about all of this since, you know, she has in the past. Also, isn’t this illegal? Just sayin’…

What do you think of this?

The stan really jumped out with this one. On Friday, while Drake was celebrating the release of his new mixtape, Dark Lane Demo Tapes, over Instagram live, he gave a certain someone a special shout out, and that certain someone proceeded to lose their shit. Akademiks was streaming Drizzy's live session on Twitch, and it's safe to say he was pretty stoked when he heard Drake mention his name.

As the world is scrambling to deal with the coronavirus outbreak, super-producer Metro Boomin is done with people complaining over dollar amounts and billionaire donations to help with the globe’s recovery. Sending out a series of tweets this weekend, the beatmaker ranted about how the people whining about $25 million donations are the same folks who will never bring a single canned good to their local food drive. DJ Akademiks reposted several of the messages, but Young Metro was not impressed with how the social media commentator was twisting the narrative. It resulted in a back-and-forth that may have severed their relationship.

“You trying to be slick only posting a few of the tweets. I’m not for the negativity. Just keep me off of your gossip page all together please,” requested the 26-year-old music maker. DJ Akademiks responded that he believes Metro was being sensitive about the matter, writing: “Wondering why u in ur feelings bout this… Nobody was being slick.”

In a new post about Metro’s reaction, Ak goes for blood.

“@metroboomin stop being sensitive n***a. Ain’t nobody being slick. WorldStar posted the same thing … go look AINT see u under their post having a hissyfit. Block me idc. Gonna post what I want still.”

Whose side are you on?

With a brand new No. 1 album in his bag, Lil Baby is on top of the world and you wouldn’t necessarily expect him to be asking for help from other artists. Wouldn’t it be the other way around? I can only imagine how crowded the Atlanta rapper’s direct messages are with clout-hungry creatives trying to get on through his co-sign. Still, Lil Baby recognizes that he doesn’t have all the tools to succeed. His blow-up did not happen overnight and, while much of it happened due to his own vision, he received help on several fronts. One man who gave him some pointers was North Carolina rapper DaBaby.

Much of DaBaby’s rise occurred because of how charismatic he is. He’s just so likeable and, in his music videos, he gives off a care-free, happy-go-lucky vibe that keeps fans gravitating more toward his personality. That’s something that Lil Baby thought he could use some help on, so he went to the man himself to get some tips.

“I hit him like, bro, turn me on to your video folks. For real, I done asked him to write the treatment for me for one of my videos cause I’m seeing that that’ll help me. I ain’t no hater at all,” said Lil Baby about DaBaby on Everyday Struggle. “I ain’t ashamed to be like, ‘turn me onto them folk.’ I ain’t tryna steal no n***a’s swag or nothing, like, it’s enough money for all of us.”

Likewise, if anybody needs specific pointers from Lil Baby, he says he’s not opposed to handing out game. Shout-out to one of the realest out right now. Watch below at the 24:30 mark.
