Tekashi 6ix9ine Faces the Possibility of Life in Prison

US rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine rose to the top of the Music Charts and worldwide fame by being crude, brutal, funny, and colorful. He has been enjoying media attention majorly through negative news and gang affiliated activities. This people claim has been good for his career.

Now he’s in jail facing a possible life sentence for dealings with gang members that the FBI suggests were itching to take him out, Tekashi, born Daniel Hernandez, wants us to believe that he was just playing a character the whole time, that 6ix9ine is a performance and a fabrication, that Daniel is the good guy handing out money to families and hugs to young fans.

It’s eerily close to the statement he gave to police to explain the sexual misconduct with a minor charge he’d accept the blame for after appearing in a video of an underage girl performing sex acts on other men: “I was doing it for my image.” 6ix9ine’s court cases present a very postmodern conundrum.

Are we to believe he’s the vindictive, gang-affiliated millionaire bully he plays in his art and on the ‘gram, the one the platter of racketeering charges he was served this month appears to corroborate, or are we supposed to buy the other tune he’s singing about his tough talk being an act of pure provocation, like the “69” tattoos that cover his body? Is it possible to thirst for street cred so hotly that you stumble into the dark power you seek, like Robert Johnson cutting a deal with the devil at a Mississippi crossroads? Does it matter what Tekashi’s thinking is if it instigated real violence?
