Tekashi 6ix9ine's back making headlines following his stint in prison. Though brief, his return was seemingly welcomed by the public. Roughly two million people tuned in to his inaugural Instagram Live on Friday where he broke down everything including why he snitched. He embraced it and claimed that he had no obligation to be loyal to the people who were once in his corner.
"Where was the loyalty when you was sleeping with my baby mother? Where was the loyalty when you was caught on the wiretap tryna kill me? Where was the loyalty when you tried to kidnap my mother? Where was the loyalty when you stole millions of dollars from me? Where was that? So who broke it first?" he said on Instagram Live. "I get it. Don’t fight fire with fire—I’m sorry. But what did I do wrong? ... Be loyal to n***as that kidnapped me, beat the shit out of me on video and everything? I’m supposed to be loyal to that? Nah, you know what it is? Y’all don’t wanna accept the fact that those is all true facts. Y’all understand why I snitched, y’all understand. Y’all don’t want to understand."
6ix9ine's faced backlash from the hip-hop community over being a snitch including Lil Bibby who shared his thoughts on the matter. "You gotta watch people that think 69 gotta point," he said. When someone asked what he'd do if his friend kidnapped his mom, Bibby had a no-nonsense approach. "Whole family's dying," he added.

G Herbo Calls Nicki Minaj "Chiraq" Collab A "Turning Point In His Career"
G Herbo has talked about getting in the studio with Nicki Minaj over the years and recalled what it was like linking on Chiraq” once again.
Chicago rapper G Herbo will tell you that his road to becoming an international rap star hasn’t been an easy one. While he has put in the work to build his fanbase and reputation, there were off-chance opportunities that helped propel his career forward. Before he was known as “G Herbo,” the rapper went by “Lil Herb.” It was then, back in 2014, that Herbo said that when his manager told him Safaree Samuels called because Nicki Minaj wanted him on a track, he refused to believe it was real. Additionally, he thought Safaree was Nicki’s assistant.

“It was actually them, so I ended up flying out [to L.A.,” G Herbo recalled with HipHopDX. This is a tale that Herbo has shared over the years, but he retold it once again. “It was crazy man because it was like, I’m really here. Nicki Minaj studio. I met her. It was the best studio I ever been in, of course, I’m used to recording in closets and sh*t like that. It was just crazy. I had to just try to stay focused on what I had to do and that was just rap. That was my main focus, just trying to deliver on the verse.”
The rapper admitted that he’s more of a reserved, quiet person, so he wasn’t “really saying much” during the in-person session. Herbo said their 2014 collaboration, “Chiraq,” was the launching pad his career needed. “I started to do shows after that,” he said. “That was a big turning point in my career.” Of course, the Barbz we hot on his tail, too.

Is Frank Ocean On Juice WRLD’s Posthumous Album?
Lil Bibby puts out a public call for Frank Ocean to appear on Juice WRLD's first posthumous album, but will the reclusive star answer?
News struck this week that Frank Ocean is planning on releasing a brand new single to the world, cancelling pre-orders for the "Little Demon" vinyl and replacing it with an unreleased track. Perhaps the reclusive star is also working on contributing to the first posthumous album released by Juice WRLD. Or, at least that's what Lil Bibby is hoping for.
The head of Juice WRLD's label Grade A Productions, Lil Bibby, just sent out a public call for Frank Ocean to sing on the upcoming posthumous album by late 21-year-old Juice WRLD. The Chicago star passed away in December 2019 of a drug overdose and, since then, his team has announced that unreleased music will eventually find its way onto streaming services. While there remains no release date for Juice WRLD's first posthumous project, Bibby is not making it a secret that he wants the sweet, soothing tones of Frank Ocean's voice on there.
"Gotta get Frank Ocean on this Juice album," said the rapper-turned-executive on social media.
Lil Bibby worked extremely closely with Juice WRLD during his life and he likely knows who the star would have enjoyed collaborating with. Perhaps Frank graces that list.
In Juice WRLD's first musical appearance since his death, he featured on Eminem's "Godzilla," which saw the Chicago rapper end up in the Guinness Book of World Records. Are you hoping Frank Ocean comes through with a feature on the upcoming body of work?
