The controversial New York rapper, Tekashi 69, has conceded in a legal battle involving his 2020 song, “GOOBA.”

Don’t Call It A Comeback

Tekashi 69 has been in the spotlight for his legal woes for quite some time. His reputation was first changed in October 2019 when he took the witness stand against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. The Brooklyn rapper subsequently went to prison for 2 years and put out ‘GOOBA’ upon his release in Apr 2020.

The song got Tekashi his first Billboard Streaming Songs chart No 1. It broke records for the most views of a hip hop debut in Youtube history with a whopping 43 million views in 24 hours. Tekashi seems to be a magnet for controversy despite the track’s success.

69 Accused Of Stealing

BEATDEMONS is a producer duo that took the “GUMMO” rapper to court in March last year. The pair alleged 69 took the melody and also the general song structure from their cut “Regular.” Listen to both and see for yourself:

In a bold lawsuit, the two producers demanded all of 69’s profits from the song. It’s unconfirmed exactly how much he made from the record. Still, the track is currently sitting at over 700 million views on Youtube. So it’s safe to say the 25-year-old earned some coin from streaming alone.

The lawyers representing 69 spoke to TMZ back in March. They flippantly dismissed the claim. “The lawsuit is without merit and is another attempt to profit off of Tekashi’s success. We are confident that it will be dismissed,” attorney Lance Lazarro said.

In fact, this is the second accusation the rapper has gotten concerning “Gooba.” In June 2020, Kenyan producer Magix Enga made similar claims of theft.

Lawsuit Closes

Somewhere between then and now, the two opposing legal sides came to a settlement.

Jesse A. Kaplan is the lawyer representing BEATDEMONS. He also made a statement this week addressing the closing of the lawsuit.

“The parties anticipate that the written settlement agreement will be finalized within the next forty-five days,” Kaplan said. “A stipulation of dismissal of the entire case, with a waiver of fees and costs, will be filed shortly thereafter.”

It seems 69 has escaped accountability yet again. Do you think the track is not Tekashi’s? Or just a strange coincidence?

Daniel Hernandez, aka Tekashi69, has had an altercation with a fan at UFC 266. Tekashi69 seems to be in hot water yet again! In the TMZ video, rapper Tekashi69 walks through the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday while attending UFC 266. As the rapper was walking, someone in the audience threw a can at him and said, “You a p###y n###a, you a b###h, I’ll beat the sh## out of you f##k boy.” After 69 retaliates and throws something back at him, security breaks it up, and then 69 walks away. Hopefully, trouble will stop finding its way to him.

Tekashi69 Troubling Past

Teakashi69 was born in Bushwick, Brooklyn, New York, as Daniel Hernandez. His father died in 2009, when Tekashi was only 13 years old. 6ix9ine got expelled from school in the eighth grade and has yet to further his education. After his father’s death, he worked multiple jobs and sold marijuana to support him and his mother. As he became older, he had his own unique style and started rapping. You may know him for a few of his hit songs, “Trollz” featuring Nicki Minaj, “Gummo,” “Gooba,” and more.

Despite the hits, trouble finds him, or he entertains it. In 2015, he was arrested and charged with the use of a child in a sexual performance. In June of 2018, authorities investigated the rapper for a shooting in New York involving rapper Chief Keef. July of 2018, authorities reported 6ix9ine kidnapped, pistol-whipped, and robbed in Brooklyn. The following year in 2019, Tekashi pleaded guilty to nine counts of federal racketeering. Tekashi got a two-year sentence in prison, plus five years of probation. 69 is also famous for his gang affiliations. In a recent interview, things got heated on “Off The Record” with DJ Akademiks; Wack100 questioned 6ix9ine if he was a real blood.

6ix9ine, Uncle Murda, 50 Cent and Casanova Get The Strap

G-G-G-G-G Unit! Boom Boom Boom! Stuuupid! Salutations FM Trendsetters! Better grab a bulletproof Teflon slug-proof vest! Make sure you also, in my 50 Cent voice, “Get the strap!” This term has been all over social media for months now. According to 50 cent himself, he coined the infamous hash-tagged phrase, as he uses it in most of his posts! But now the phrase has capitalized into a lifestyle and culture, as it is the most widely used hash-tag on social media. Mr. Jackson used this to produce and promote merchandise and apparel. But now, fresh for the soundtrack to the 5th season of Power, the music video to the song, based on the phrase of the same name, was released Monday on YouTube, through 50 Cent’s channel. It was also released via ThisIs50.com, his website.
