Footage of Russ' crew beating up Smokepurpp surfaced on the web last night. This came shortly after Russ' interview on The Breakfast Club where he boasted that he had footage of his crew beating down either Yung Bans or Purpp. Shortly afterward, Tekashi 6ix9ine decided to chime in on the beef on Instagram (before deleting it) and invited Russ to Treyway.

Tekashi 6ix9ine sent an official invitation to Russ to join Treyway. The post was deleted shortly after but thankfully, screenshots are forever. It's unsure what prompted 6ix9ine to do this but he's known to stir up the pot a bit so this could just be something to get a reaction out of people. 

Aside from trolling the rap game, 6ix9ine's been making some serious moves in recent time. The rainbow-haired rapper appears to have formed a relatively tight relationship with Kanye West ever since the Chicago rapper showed him love on an interview. The two of them have been spotted in the studio on two separate occasions including earlier this week while they were both in Columbia. Tekashi also penned a long-term publishing deal with Create Music Group's newly formed publishing division. 

This all comes shortly after the release of his first ever Spanish single, "BEBE" with Annuel AA. Not only did the single mark 6ix9ine's 10th consecutive charting song, it also debuted at #1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart.
