Part 16: Oschino: Did Tekashi 6ix9ine Really Sleep with Steph Curry's Wife?
Part 1: Oschino Breaks Down His Beef with Meek Mill
--------
In a recent conversation with VladTV, rapper and commentator Oschino shed light on a surprising incident involving Troy Ave sending a bodyguard to assault openly gay rapper ILoveMakonnen. Vlad recalled that Troy Ave threatened to have Makonnen beaten up on stage after the latter freestyled over one of Troy Ave’s beats without permission. Despite ILoveMakonnen's commercial success and affiliation with major artists like Drake, Troy Ave reportedly pushed his weight around due to Makonnen's sexuality.
Oschino pointed out the harsh reality of hip-hop’s often tense and macho environment, where issues of respect and image can escalate rapidly, regardless of a rapper’s background or orientation. The aggressive act signaled Troy Ave’s attempts to assert dominance in a scene that doesn’t always embrace LGBTQ+ artists. This incident highlights ongoing complexities around homophobia and violence within rap culture.
