As 6ix9ine's "Gummo" continues to find success on the Billboard charts, the rapper has now reportedly signed a deal. What the deal is or who the deal is with is currently unknown.
On Thursday (Jan. 25), the
Brooklyn-bred rhymer hopped on Instagram to reveal he had signed a deal
worth $7.5 million. "Right now I'm signing my life away to illuminati
for 7.5 million dollars. Life is awesome," he wrote in the caption of a
photo of himself with lawyer Bob Celestin.
While
6ix9ine didn't reveal who he signed to or what kind of deal he actually
signed, the rapper is known to troll on Instagram with his captions, so
the signing could be fake and the amount of money could be inflated.
Since
bursting onto the scene in 2017, 6ix9ine's popularity has been
surrounded by controversy. In November, it was confirmed that the rapper
had pleaded guilty to three felony counts of use of a child in a sexual performance.
Shortly
after the news broke, 6ix9ine did an interview with DJ Akademiks to
refute the claims, but a report from Jezebel quickly contradicted the
rapper's comments. According to the actual criminal complaint,
in videos uploaded to social media, a 13-year-old girl can be seen
sitting on the rapper's lap while he has his arms around her.
6ix9ine
is currently on a one-year interim probation and has a sentencing
hearing scheduled for Jan. 30. Should the rapper complete each of the
conditions given to him and doesn't commit a crime by his sentencing
date, he will not be required to register as a sex offender.
XXL has reached out to 6ix9ine's team for comment about his reported deal.
