Akon vs 6ix9ine battle takes place today

New Tunes Coming

Akon is down to work with 6ix9ine on new music. He spoke about it on Instagram Live several weeks ago and said he’d like to be on an upcoming album from Tekashi.

“Imma feature on that record. Matter fact, I’m about to call Tekashi right now and say yo, T, what we doin’? I’m ‘bout to get on that record. Listen, I’m me, n***a. You can’t beat me up. I’m getting on that record. That record probably be the hottest record that drop this year because of all that…Just think about all that surrounded this record. Even if you don’t like him. You gon’ get it, download it, out of curiosity.”

Wait, There’s More

Akon also previously defended 6ix9ine around the time he was sentenced last year for his snitching controversy. He cited a lack of morals in the newer generations as a reason for telling.

“With Tekashi it’s a little different because he comes from a generation that really didn’t have no moral ethic. I can’t really speak on why he would do that, but most likely it’s for the obvious reasons. But everyone goes through something in their lives that propels them to do things that they feel is in the best interest of themselves. And I think, you really can’t blame him, if what he’s saying is the truth.”

Before You Go

Over the weekend, he also ignited a beef with legendary West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg.
