6ix9ine Drops a Bombshell Claim About Lil Tjay and Chipotle, Stirring Up Drama Yet Again
Although Tekashi 6ix9ine's influence in the music world has significantly waned, one thing remains clear: he is still one of the most masterful trolls in the rap scene. But here’s where it gets controversial — his ability to provoke and stir up drama seems almost unstoppable, regardless of his musical relevance.
Despite facing jail time and diminishing chart presence, 6ix9ine has never really slipped out of the public eye. Since making his comeback in 2020, his antics have only intensified, often landing him in the center of heated discussions. While his chart-topping days might be behind him, his knack for getting under people's skin holds strong.
A perfect showcase of this is found in his recent appearance on the YouTube series One Night with Steiny. The episode also featured Charleston White, known for his own provocative style. When two outspoken figures like this meet, the result is bound to be outrageous and, frankly, hard to ignore.
During their conversation, which was released just a day ago, 6ix9ine spoke about Lil Tjay, who has recently been involved in a spat with Kai Cenat. Tekashi’s words about Lil Tjay were far from flattering. He even brought up the 2022 shooting incident in New Jersey, an extremely serious event that nearly cost Lil Tjay his life.
But here’s the part most people miss — 6ix9ine bizarrely reduced this life-threatening incident to a feud over a Chipotle burrito, claiming that Lil Tjay was banned from the restaurant chain for life because of it. This oversimplification not only distorts the harsh reality but also highlights how facts often take a backseat in Tekashi's world of trolling.
This episode is just one piece of a larger media blitz from 6ix9ine, who has been appearing across multiple platforms lately. VladTV, for instance, is slowly releasing clips from an extensive interview with him that reportedly spanned more than four hours, delving deep into his entire career.
While many are exhausted by 6ix9ine’s relentless provocations, there’s no denying a sizable audience is eager to consume every minute of his drama. His continued presence in the spotlight hinges on public attention — in other words, he vanishes only if you choose to ignore him.
So, what do you think? Is 6ix9ine crossing the line by making light of a real and serious incident, or is this just part of the provocative persona that keeps the hip-hop world entertained? Share your thoughts below!
