In a move that’s raising eyebrows, controversial rapper 6ix9ine has reportedly inked a significant multi-million dollar deal with the livestreaming platform Kick. This news comes as the rapper faces potential jail time for violating his supervised release terms.
A Lucrative Partnership
According to reports from the social media page KickChamp, 6ix9ine is set to broadcast exclusively on Kick for the next year. While specific financial details of the agreement remain under wraps, the deal is described as multi-million dollar, highlighting the platform’s investment in the polarizing artist.
The announcement has already sparked a flurry of reactions online. Fans have been quick to share their thoughts, with many making jokes about the rapper streaming from a jail cell. Others have questioned Kick’s decision to sponsor someone facing such serious legal issues, with one user commenting, ‘Kick must be very proud of this… role model for young folks…’
Legal Battles Continue
This streaming deal comes at a critical time for 6ix9ine. He’s currently facing a sentencing hearing on Thursday, November 20th, with potential jail time ranging from three to nine months. This follows a violation of his supervised release earlier this year.
Adding to the turmoil, 6ix9ine recently requested a delay in his sentencing. This request stems from a home invasion that occurred on Sunday, November 16th. Four masked men reportedly entered his home, held his mother at gunpoint, and stole several items. The incident happened while 6ix9ine was livestreaming with Jack Doherty in Miami, a rare occasion where he was permitted to leave his house arrest.
Y’all know I’m supposed to come home. Y’all know I’m home all the time. I’m on house arrest. So, y’all take the opportunity that I’m not home and y’all see me on livestream with Jack Doherty in Miami and y’all do that. That’s p*ssy sh*t. — 6ix9ine
What’s Next for 6ix9ine?
Prosecutors are also seeking a renewed two-year supervised release term, which would include mandatory substance abuse treatment and anger management counseling. With his legal future uncertain, 6ix9ine’s new venture with Kick adds another layer to his complex public persona.
