6ix9ine announced this the release of his new single and accompanying music video will be pushed back once again, “out of respect for what we are going through right now.” Last week, two days before he was set to drop said music video, the “GOOBA” rapper decided to delay the release until the following week on Friday, June 5th. The reason for this delay was simply because the music video was not ready yet, but the recently incarcerated rapper just broke the news today (June 3rd) that he’ll be rescheduling the release once more due to the current state of the world. “Music video will be pushed back again to June 12th,” 6ix9ine wrote on Instagram. “Out of respect for what we are going through right now.”

“It’s not the time for a music video right now with everything going on in the world,” he explained in the caption, referring to the nationwide protests against racism and police brutality in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. “It will be extremely selfish. JUNE 12TH NEXT FRIDAY.” 6ix9ine recently addressed George Floyd’s death, offering his “deepest condolences to the Floyd family” while acknowledging that, legally, he still “can’t speak on certain topics,” likely those pertaining to police brutality.

It looks like 6ix9ine has accomplished everything he wanted to so far since making his official return to social media and the music scene. The rapper has been extremely active online ever since he made his comeback a few weeks ago, starting beef with practically everyone imaginable while his new single, “GOOBA,” racked up numbers and broke records. Now, he’s taking a bit of a breather from social media, at least until he drops his follow-up to “GOOBA.” On Sunday (May 17th), right before he was supposed to battle Akon on IG live (although we were pretty certain that wasn’t going to happen anyway), 6ix9ine announced that he’ll be taking a break from Instagram, only to return once his new music video (and, presumably, a new single to go with it) drops this Friday, May 22nd at 3:00pm EST.

“I proved I’m the king of Instagram,” he wrote in the caption. “AND I TOOK BACK THE KING OF NEW YORK. I proved that to you with numbers. The internet was dead without me.”

6ix9ine had already teased the prospect of a new music video on a few different occasions. He had initially made a deal with his fans that if “GOOBA” went No. 1 on the charts, he’d drop the follow-up. However, after he himself revealed that Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber‘s “Stuck With U” was likely going to snatch the throne from him—which 6ix9ine believes was a result of Billboard “manipulating the charts”—he had to come up with another strategy. So, he decided that if a photo of him showing off his ankle monitor while attempting to lick his foot got 500K comments on Instagram, he’d give his fans a new video. It appears as though he succeeded in that endeavour, so buckle up for some new 6ix9ine coming your way this Friday.

Tekashi 6ix9ine is making his fans an offer: if his post showing off his house arrest ankle monitor gets to 500,000 comments, he’ll drop a new music video next week. As you very well know, 6ix9ine has been on one since making his official comeback last week. He’s been involving himself in tons of drama, creating new beef and reigniting old feuds left and right. However, he’s also been busy promoting his new single, “GOOBA,” which dropped last Friday (May 8th) along with some colourful visuals. “GOOBA” managed to break a handful of records on Youtube, and now, 6ix9ine wants to give his fans another new video this upcoming Friday.

6ix9ine posted the photo in question on Saturday (May 16th), demonstrating his flexibility as he attempts to lick his right toe. Just above his foot is an ankle monitor which would have been issued to him when he was released early from prison and put on house arrest.

It’s worth noting that 6ix9ine already promised his fans a new single and video using a different negotiating tactic: if “GOOBA” got to No. 1 on the Billboard charts, he’d drop some new music. However, since it looks like Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber will be taking the No. 1 spot this week with their collab, “Stuck With U”—a projection which 6ix9ine himself suspects is a result of Billboard “manipulating the charts”—the no-longer-rainbow-haired rapper had to resort to other measures in order to continue his comeback era.

Tekashi 6ix9ine is certainly one of the most polarizing artists of the last few years. He burst onto the scene with massive hits like "GUMMO" and "BILLY" but eventually, he got wrapped up in a massive criminal case that he was at the center of. It looked like 6ix9ine was going to be locked up for years of his life but thanks to some snitching, he was able to reduce his sentence. Tekashi was only slated to be released from jail in July but due to his asthma and the COVID-19 pandemic, the judge allowed him to leave early where he is now on house arrest.

Thanks to a massive billboard in the center of Times Square, we now know that Tekashi will be returning to music, tomorrow at 3 PM. In fact, he will be taking to Instagram live where he will debut a brand new song while also showing off a new music video, that was filmed in his backyard.

XXXTentacion and Lil Wayne have collaborated several times posthumously, with the late Florida rapper appearing on a couple of Tunechi's albums. In return, Weezy F Baby delivered vocals on Bad Vibes Forever, one of the albums that X was working on before his death. One of their more recently-released team-ups, "School Shooters," will soon be earning a new chapter as it has been announced by the estate of XXXTentacion that a music video is on the way.

This could go one of two ways. At the end of the day, we all know that a ton of controversy is likely to come from this video. A music video about a topic as sensitive as school shootings -- especially one that appears to show scenes of bullying from the short preview shared on XXXTentacion's Instagram page -- could garner negative reactions given the current state of the world. Gun violence in places of education has become an unfortunate trend in the United States. 

Tory Lanez is keeping us all entertained during the coronavirus lockdown, hosting his ultra-entertaining Quarantine Radio with guests like 21 Savage, Chris Brown, French Montana, and even Drake. The next episode is set to go live tomorrow and we can’t wait to see what kind of shenanigans the Toronto native has planned for us.

In addition to all the Instagram Live madness, Tory is also gearing up to release a brand new music video for “Still Be Friends” with G-Eazy and Tyga. According to him, it will be the first-ever music video hosted by adult entertainment website Pornhub.

Telling the world that he and his collaborators are about to make history, Tory Lanez revealed that the new video will premiere this week, featuring a ton of models from Vixen.

“WHEN U @g_eazy AND @tyga are the first people to do a video hosted by @PornHub and all the girls in the video came from @vixenxofficial,” wrote the Canadian artist as his caption, posting Polaroid photos of himself and some scantily-clad ladies.

Would you expect another trio of artists to work with Pornhub on the video release? I didn’t think so.

In other news, Pornhub recently announced that its Premium service is free to encourage people to stay at home during the global health crisis. Have you already taken advantage of that?

The internet loves to jump to conclusions, forcing recording artists to often explain made-up fan scenarios that have gone viral on social media. Lil Nas X is a product of the internet, using it to the max to ensure he remains one of the most popular artists in the world. He took full advantage of TikTok before anybody else, crafting "Old Town Road," which would go on to become a worldwide smash hit. He followed that up with the release of "Panini," a more hip-hop friendly record before dropping his current single, "Rodeo". On his critically-acclaimed project 7, Cardi B features on the song but, at the Grammy Awards, LNX premiered a new version with none other than Nas, the man he modelled his name after. Unleashing the music video for "Rodeo" earlier today, Cardi B's fanbase questioned why she was nowhere to be seen in the clip, and Lil Nas X had a decent enough explanation.
