6ix9ine | Where Are They Now? | How He Ruined His Own Career?

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Is there a better example of a viral hip-hop star than Brooklyn rapper, 6ix9ine? I mean, after having spent close to three years in prison where he was incarcerated on racketeering charges – the guy turned into a snitch just to save himself and still earned over 43 Million views in 24-hours when he dropped his track, “GOOBA”! But here’s the truth -- anyone or anything that goes viral usually winds up coming back down to Earth again, and I think that’s finally where we’re at in 6ix9ine’s career. After “The Godfather”-esque dramatic saga that’s commonly known as the Trial of the Nine Trey Gangsters, 6ix9ine’s popularity just isn’t what it used to be. More than that, the man has become far less prolific, only releasing a handful of singles and one studio album since leaving prison. Is he finally gearing up for another comeback or has 6ix9ine decided to fade away once and for all? Find out on our newest episode of Where Are They Now!
