Tekashi 6ix9ine addressed tensions within the rap community following the death of Chicago rapper King Von. Tekashi reflected on the beefs between artists, highlighting how some rappers, particularly those not from New York or affiliated with Bloods, stayed silent when he spoke out. He criticized peers, questioning why many stayed quiet or were selectively vocal, especially concerning incidents involving prominent rappers like Young Thug and Gunna. Tekashi suggested that loyalty and regional affiliations played roles in who spoke up, noting that some only vocalize their opinions when incentivized. He implied that dismissals and lack of responses from others often came down to their background or street ties, emphasizing that he faced backlash for calling out others from a different city. While discussing King Von’s murder, Tekashi didn’t shy away from the controversy but stressed the complex dynamics and rivalries fueling these feuds within hip-hop’s landscape.
