After being accused of offering Lil Durk a whopping $3 million to engage in a troll battle for album promo, Tekashi 6ix9ine has found a new way to raise awareness for his upcoming Tattle Tales album.
Which means collaborating with the ostracized Canadian singer Tory Lanez, who has been keeping relatively quiet after Megan Thee Stallion alleged he shot her in both of her feet.
Despite Megan’s confession, the LAPD is said to still be investigating the charges that could be pursued.
In standard fashion, the rollout behind Tekashi’s upcoming second studio album has been layered with sensationalism. After seeing his Nicki Minaj-assisted single “TROLLZ” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June, he officially announced the project’s existence earlier this week in Chicago. In doing so, he went the distance to antagonize locally-bred rappers Lil Durk, Lil Reese and others by pouring out liquor in their hoods and repeatedly referencing Durk’s slain cousin.
For his part, Durk has announced an album of his own — The Voice — to be released opposite Tattle Tales on September 4.
“I got this old Tory record that he cleared for me in 2017,” Tekashi teased in his Instagram Story on Sunday (August 30). “IM WRONG IF I PUT IT ON MY ALBUM??? It’s already cleared and IT’S A FUCKIN HIT.”
The rainbow-haired rapper also included a poll for his 24.3 million followers to vote on.
6ix9ine's newly released singles, "Trollz," "Punani" and "Gooba," will likely land on his new album. His part two to Akon's "Locked Up" will be on the LP as well. Earlier this month, the Konvict Muzik founder confirmed the track will appear on Tekashi's album. 6ix9ine's team confirmed to XXL that the song will be on his upcoming effort as well.
"That's not going on my album, but it's going on his [6ix9ine's] album," Akon said. "It was more for him to tell his story, and I thought it was super important, because most people never really been locked up, so it was funny to read some of them comments. If they ever been in the facility or ever been locked up somehow, they would know that the jails are filled and more populated with snitches than it is with regular people and than people who committed normal crime."
TattleTales will be the second studio album to be released by the Brooklyn native. Dummy Boy, his first LP, was released on Nov. 27, 2018, eight days after he was arrested for his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
On April 2 of this year, 6ix9ine was released from prison to serve the last four months of his sentence for federal racketeering and firearms charges on home confinement. He was officially freed from home confinement on Aug. 2.
The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, made the announcement about the upcoming album, "Tattle Tales" on his Instagram account.
It's the first album from 6ix9ine since bing released from prison this spring. He was allowed to continue the rest of his two-year sentence at home after being released amid the coronavirus pandemic.
He was sentenced in 2019 on charges related to gang activity in New York, but received a reduced sentence after cooperating with federal investigators and informing on his former gang associates.
In May he dropped a song and music video for, "GOOBA."
He is best known for his 2017 debut single "Gummo," which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, and his collaboration with Nicki Minaj on his 2018 song "FEFE."
