Part 1: Tekashi 69 on His Biological Father Abandoning Him, Meeting Him at Age 8
--------
Tekashi 6ix9ine addressed the controversy surrounding the presence of around 100 Blood gang members wearing red bandanas in his breakout "Gummo" music video. He revealed that the red bandanas were deliberately distributed by him to paint an authentic street picture for his fans, emphasizing the creative vision behind the video rather than a gang endorsement. Tekashi explained that the song is about his connection to the streets and that his visuals aimed to realistically reflect that environment. He said his ties come through associates and management connected to Bloods, and while not officially part of the gang, the imagery was essential to the storytelling of his music.
