Tekashi 6ix9ine's been all over the news lately and despite the amount of success he has, it seems like his antics are slowly backfiring. For the time being, it's definitely helped him garner the attention he needs to push his debut project Day69 but in the long run, it might not work in his favor. His career only started popping off now but he's already pissed a lot of gang members across the globe. He took to Instagram (surprise) to say he's struck fear across many people in the music industry.

6ix9ine claims that the whole music industry, from promoters to executives, fear him. It seems like he finds it funny for the most part but it probably won't work out for him down the line. 

"Whether you know it or don't This whole industry, promoters, executives are scared of me," he wrote. "Like it's real. lol they really scared of a n*gga with rainbow hair."

The fear that he claims he's put in the music industry may not work in his favor. He's already had shows in L.A. cancelled during All-Star weekend because of some of his provocation on the internet to other gang members in their city. 

Tech N9ne recently spoke about him and said that he hoped he won't continue doing his internet beefs so he'll be able to tour.

"What I wish he and his boys didn't do is provoke people to want to get at them so they can't tour." Tech said.

Hopefully for 6ix9ine, these issues fade away and don't interfere with his money.
