6ix9ine unexpectedly found himself trending on Twitter today. Several netizens created hilarious memes after an alleged explicit tape starring the rapper with another man made its way online. Internet users have since been discussing the musician’s s*xuality.
Speculation about Tekashi 6ix9ine’s s*xuality took over Twitter after a supposed picture of him kissing another man went viral across the internet. The identity of the person who was alongside the musician was not revealed. A quote that read “6ix9ine is g*y” floated across the internet alongside the picture which left the internet in a frenzy.
The same picture was posted by another internet user with the caption:
“6ix9ine, revealed in a recent interview that he has been obsessed with ‘to the boy who saved my life’ by Noah Vela. I’m happy to announce that I’m coming out as gay and have a boyfriend. Noah’s song really touched by soul and made me feel okay to come out of the closet.”
A NSFW video of the rapper whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, with another man has also reportedly been circulating across the internet. A social media outlet also claimed that the musician has been in an explicit video in the past under the name of Apache Blu. However, the two videos were not found at the time of writing this article.
Netizens react to viral 6ix9ine gay claim
Internet users flooded the internet with hilarious memes after the aforementioned content went viral online. Many claimed that the rapper was hinting about his s*xuality in the past by opting to have rainbow-colored dreads. Despite Twitter debunking the gay claims repeatedly under several posts, netizens continued to believe the latest claims. A few hilarious reactions to the rumor read:
At the time of writing this article, the YAYA singer had not publicly addressed rumors of him being g*y.
Tekashi 6ix9ine g*y claim debunked
Twitter included a disclaimer under several tweets which showcased the picture of the rapper kissing another man. In one of them, the social networking site announced:
“No evidence of 6ix9ine/Tekashi69 coming out as gay or having a boyfriend has been found.”
Another Twitter disclaimer read that the viral picture was taken from the rapper's music video Y AHORA which he recorded with Grupo Firme. This does not confirm that the rapper is gay.
A celebrity news outlet also claimed that it was not the rapper in the viral explicit clip. They claimed that a lookalike was present in the viral video.
This is not the first time 6ix9ine has dealt with rumors of him being gay. He has addressed the same in the past as well. In 2017, he wrote in an Instagram post,
“People think I’m gay. I think I’m cool. I can count to 10 with my eyes closed.”
With no official confirmation from the rapper himself, one cannot assume that he is gay.
The musician recently made headlines after a video of him being attacked in a South Florida gym went viral. Following the altercation, the 26-year-old musician had to be hospitalized for sustaining several injuries on his jaw, ribs, and back including swelling on his face. He has kept mum since the attack.
