Many hip-hop artists online this weekend are celebrating the not guilty verdict of their collaborator and colleague, Lil Durk. But when it comes to Durk's enemies like Tekashi 6ix9ine, they are now facing trolls and call-outs for their misfortune. The New York MC in particular took to his Instagram page to respond to the acquittal, and it's clear he will always find ammunition to troll with even if all his predictions of a life sentence didn't manifest in this Los Angeles trial.
In the video, Tekashi and a friend popped and drank bottles of champagne while elaborate fireworks went off in the background. Various luxury cars were also in the video, and the caption indicates where his trolls will go next.
6ix9ine mocked Lil Durk by referencing the fact he still awaits another trial for racketeering-related charges. He also mocked the deaths of Durk's friend King Von, his cousin Nuski, and his brother DThang, while also celebrating the lives and freedoms of himself, Lul Tim (Von's alleged killer), and Quando Rondo (the target of a 2022 hit at the center of Durk's case).
Lil Durk's Racketeering Trial
Many folks reacted to this video by trolling Tekashi, saying he's mad over the verdict and is corny for wishing the downfall of another man. But their beef history shows there is no other route he will take. Still, DJ Akademiks claimed he tried to call Tekashi after news of the verdict broke, but he wouldn't pick up his calls.
6ix9ine came up in Lil Durk's trial, as prosecutors and witnesses argued the former's commentary on Von's death inspired Durk to take action. This led to a lot of trolls throughout this process, including going off on DJ Akademiks for allegedly "going hard" for the Chicago rapper. Tekashi believes Durk wouldn't be as friendly with Akademiks as he might believe, although Ak pushed back on this as an excuse to avoid accountability for 6ix9ine's hypocrisy.
As for Lil Durk's next trial, it relates to racketeering-related charges referencing a 2022 Chicago murder and a 2019 Atlanta shooting. He will face trial for this on October 5, if everything goes according to the current schedule. Prosecutors and defense attorneys will likely argue over bond possibilities ahead of the trial.
This 6ix9ine video is unsurprising, as he had planned a "going-away" party for The Voice if he was found guilty. DJ Akademiks claimed Tekashi allegedly spent $100K on it.
