Tekashi 6ix9ine admitted to stealing the beat for his breakout solo hit “Gummo” from Trippie Redd. “Gummo” marked Tekashi’s shift from collaborations to solo success. Vlad asked about the infamous beat theft claim, to which Tekashi confidently confirmed, explaining he seized the opportunity as he felt Trippie wouldn’t make the most out of it. He even mocked how Trippie would have handled the beat, suggesting it would have been wasted. Tekashi highlighted that despite their earlier collaborations, Trippie dissed him before “Gummo” took off, which Tekashi said was an unnecessary attempt to sabotage his rise. The rapper underscored his commitment to his music, emphasizing the hard work behind his hits and how “Gummo” was a game-changer for his career.
