This kind of aligns with my view of him. He built an audience through at first glamourising violence and adding comedic takes to negative stuff, he then gained the backing of industry big wigs by helping to blow up their artists. He gets away with saying reckless stuff because that’s part of his brand, strengthens his influence and at the end of the day he’s a useful asset for labels. Interesting
Gummo was already out and Akademiks said why isn’t it the biggest record out of NY. Ak found out about the allegations and he was asked to interview Tekashi to clear things out. After that Ak and Tekashi became actual friends and whatever happened with 69 he would let Akademiks know way before even tmz knew. I don’t think Tekashi is an industry plant but I think Ak & Tekashi helped each other blow up as much as they did.
I knew he was an industry Plant and chosen by them!

His “persona” is so annoying. Idk how we let some ppl get famous.
