6ix9ine has always been one to move differently from his peers. While that may have previously landed him in hot water โ€“ particularly during his recent gym beatdown โ€“ it's also done him some favours and is likely why his new "WAPAE" single landed on Saturday (April 15), rather than on New Music Friday. The New Yorker went on an impressive venture around the world to film the upbeat song's accompanying video, which 6ix9ine says he mostly shot on his iPhone.

"WAPAE OUT NOW ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’›โค๏ธ," the controversial entertainer wrote in the Instagram caption of his announcement post this afternoon. He shouted out his collaborators, Angel Dior, Lenier, and Bullin 47, before adding, "THIS VIDEO I ALSO FILMED 70% OF IT ON MY PHONE ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒˆ. THANK YOU UGANDA ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ THANK YOU DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด FOR HOSTING THIS VIDEO I HAD SO MUCH FUN. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ด ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ป ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡น."

6ix9ine Has a Blast in the "WAPAE" Music Video

Even with the recent trials and tribulations of being brutally attacked, it's obvious that 6ix9ine has been overflowing with creativity. In the "WAPAE" music video we see him smiling from ear to ear while dancing with exuberant groups of local children, also getting up close and personal in the shower with a beautiful woman. "Oh, my baby, what a rich thing / That mulatto, with that little waist / She has everything, she is very pretty / Her type is me, nobody takes her away from me," his first verse, when translated to English, goes.

Aside from this weekend's release, the only other song we've heard from 26-year-old so far in 2023 is "Bori." That arrived on the final Friday of March and also sees him working with Lenier. See 6ix9ine's new "WAPAE" visual for yourself on YouTube above, or add the track to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music.

Quotable Lyrics:

Ay, mi bebecita, quรฉ cosa mรก' rica
Esa mulatica, con esa cinturita
Ella tiene to', ella es muy bonita
Su tipo soy yo, nadie me la quita
