Tekashi 6ix9ine is officially back in the mix following the release of his latest single, "GOOBA." The release of the new single was accompanied by a subsequent return to Instagram where he delivered an explanation as to why he snitched. Clearly, a large amount of people have bought into it but not Chet Hanks. Earlier today, Chet shared a lengthy rant on Instagram essentially echoing Sara Molina's recent statement about 6ix9ine acting out of fear.

"Don't be fooled by social media. That dude is SCARED SHITLESS but has no choice but to laugh and make light of it cuz he knows he's a marked man for the rest of his life either way," he wrote. "He literally told you on the stand that 'the gangster image was just a persona to boost my career' only to get out talking about upping 100 shots at the chicken spot? And y'all still going for it," he continued. "People see a bunch of jewelry and diamond teeth and numbers on Istagram and actually believe dude is really happy as fuck living the life... All I see is FEAR."

This is similar to what Sara Molina said earlier today in response to 6ix9ine recently asking his fans whether they would snitch if their friend slept with their baby mama. She aired him out claiming that he's "ashamed" and can only embrace it because that's the only route. However, despite Molina's equally lengthy rant about 6ix9ine, it was Chet Hanks' post that apparently warranted a response. 

"Wishing his dad a speedy recovery," 6ix9ine commented under Akademiks' post.
