In the 90s, the rap industry continued to grow in the diversity of artists it produced and hosted. It’s easy to find quirky or awkward, controversial or talented animators. Tekashi69 is a rare embodiment of all of these attributes. He went from a budding rap artist to a real established name at least in his home town of New York, where he enjoyed the joys of a sold-out gig. He’s collaborated with names like Trippie Redd and Fetty Wap.

Tekashi69 Biography, Age, Family, Ethnicity

Perhaps its multifaceted nature derives from its heritage. Her mother is Mexican American, while her father is Puerto Rican. The Brooklyn rapper was born Daniel Hernandez on May 8, 1996. Interestingly, his musical influences didn’t start with rapping. He grew up listening to heavy metal bands like Promenade Parkway and All That Remains.

Daniel’s life was about to get worse when his father died. He was only 13 at the time and had to work to support his mother. He became many things, including a bus boy, working in a bodega, and peddling weed. By then he had already dropped out of school in the 8th grade when he was expelled. Luckily, it didn’t turn into a life of crime. After being inspired by rapper RondoNumbaNine, and some of his friends. His professional career started with him working with Bodega Bamz who had nothing but praise for the newcomer.

Musical career

He was known early in his career for creating well-thought-out music videos with crazy outfits, visual effects, and outstanding low-budget themes. These efforts contributed enormously to its success.

6ix9ine’s early singles – like Yokai, Hellsing Station and Gummo – created something of a movement. They have received millions of views and listening on YouTube and SoundCloud respectively. Gummo notably on the Billboard Hot 100. Since Gummo, two other songs Kooda and Keke have also found their way to the Billboard Top 100.

Considering when his songs started buzzing, Teka $hi69 was a latecomer to SoundCloud and YouTube platforms. His lack of an official account on these platforms forced him to post videos exclusively through F*ckthem, a Slovak label.

In the spring of 2017, he embarked on his first European tour and built his SoundCloud following to over 180,000 subscribers and counting. He also posted Gummo and Kooda’s videos. Gummo was produced by Pi’erre Bourne and has been viewed over 100 million times since its release on October 8, 2017. On December 3, 2018, the song Kooda followed suit with the song and music video.

January 14, 2018 saw the release of Keke on Youtube. He collaborated with A boogie with a hoodie and Fetty Wap on the track. Tekashi69’s approach to music has been described as full-throated and hyper-aggressive. It was under the EG Entertainment label, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. However, he would later sign a multi-million dollar deal for Interscope Recordings.

One look at Tekashi will make his love for tattoos very obvious. His skin is littered with them, but one in particular stands out. He has the number “69” tattooed on his body more than 200 times, according to the rapper. He also wrote it on his face, in numbers and in words. According to the emcee, 69 is representative of his lifestyle. He is a strong supporter of scumgang. Scum means “society cannot understand me”. The idea of ​​his life philosophy is to stand up for people who can’t stand up for themselves.

An example of this is when he took part in the New York AIDS Walk with some of his friends who were suffering from the disease. Hernandez even has an “HIV” tattoo on his back in their honor. He is also making plans to manufacture and introduce his own line of condoms to the market.

Hernandez has had his bad times as well. His last straw was when he was arrested for selling heroin outside a store and beating up the store owner. He escaped a long sentence at the time because he was underage. He was also involved in a sexual abuse case with a minor in 2017.

Is Tekashi69 gay or dating?

Tekashi69 hasn’t really been in serious relationships that anyone knows. According to the rapper, he says that although he was in a chain of short-term relationships, he broke up with them all because they were never serious. However, he has a daughter from one of these relationships. Nothing more is known about the mother or the daughter.

In November 2017, rapper Trippie Redd, who once collaborated with 69, accused him on Instagram of attacking him at some point while he was in New York. He continued the slurs calling Tekashi “weird”, “racist”, and “gay”. In his response, Tekashi69 feigned concern for the rapper and asked him to go put an ice pack on his chin and stop pretending to be a gangster.

Trippie got livid and more specific with his cussing. He accused 69 of being gay porn star Apache Blu and even distributed pictures of Apache having sex. It was later proven that Apache and Tekashi were two different people.
