However with dealing with Tekashi69 who does a lot of things for attention and dealing with the social media era, where people in general do a lot of things for attention; I couldn’t help but think it. With that said, I want to say I’m assuming that the kidnapping, beating, and robbery that occurred to Tekashi69 is true. I hope he doesn’t that far to promote a song and his brand. Tekashi69 did conduct an interview with DJ Akademiks and said that it was true and it was an inside job. Taking his word for it, I hope that the young star rapper will make a full recovery and continue his career on the right path.
It is a shame that the music industry is primarily based on likes and popularity as opposed to talent. This is not to say that Tekashi is not talented, because I think he is. On the other hand, his trolling and internet antics are almost equally as popular as his music. Like I said, let’s hope he recovers fully and use this lesson to move differently in the streets. Especially in the light of the recent tragedies that occurred to other young artists like XXXtentacion.
