Social media users slam 6ix9ine for his insensitive comments on PnB's death
Twitter was not amused at 6ix9ine's Instagram story about rapper PnB's untimely death. The two rappers have had a tumultuous relationship previously, which also turned into a heated exchange on Twitter and Instagram in 2018.
However, social media users have now called out 6ix9ine for being over-the-top with his rivalry with the late rapper.
Currently, the 26-year-old rapper has not responded to criticism on social media.
What went down between 6ix9ine and PnB Rock?
Previously, when 6ix9ine was released from house arrest following his time in prison for alleged gang activity, he clashed with rapper PnB Rock on social media.
In a post where he could be seen drinking a beverage while sitting, all covered in money, 6ix9ine wrote:
"Ya be like free the real and keep the fake...God answered y'all prayers."
The post got a reaction from PnB Rock:
"If he get smoked my life will be made no kizzyyy."
In the reply section, 6ix9ine responded:
"You fell off the face of the earth."
The two rappers have also been a part of Twitter altercations. In 2018, PnB Rock tweeted:
"Some b***h in the car wit my bro talkin bout can i play 6ixnine album even tho he a rat? Lol i hate this new generation I SWEAR."
6ix9ine has also been in altercations with other artists, including Meek Mill and Future, after his collaborative track with Nicki Minaj, Trollz, claimed the top spot on Billboard Hot 100.
While PnB Rock's death came as a shocker, rapper Cardi B took to Twitter to post her condolences on his death while asking social media users not to blame his girlfriend for his untimely demise. Taking to Twitter, she wrote:
"I highly doubt n***** was looking at PMB’s babymom IG. He was in a bad location and people stay outside plotting. It’s very irresponsible and inconsiderate to blame her for something so tragic. We should be sending nothing but love to her and his family at this time."
For those unversed, the rapper's girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang, shared a story on her Instagram account with the restaurant's geo-tagged location. While the same has now been deleted, Nicki Minaj slammed Sibounheuang indirectly in one of her tweets while sharing her condolences. She tweeted:
"After Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts. To show waffles & some fried chicken????! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom & family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus. #SIP #PnbRock"
However, many social media users came to Stephanie's defense and showed their support for her.
