Did 6ixNine Just Dissed Nicki?

6ix9ine, hot on the promo trail in support of his surprise-released sophomore album, ‘Tattletales’, has ruffled the feathers of the Barbz – the very fan group who have long supported him thanks to his affiliation with Rap queen Nicki Minaj.

Taking to Billboard recently, the 24-year-old was quizzed about his trail of hits including his first and only Hot 100 chart-topper ‘Trollz.’  Visibly perturbed by the line of questioning, 6ix9ine emphasized that he did not need anyone’s help to get to #1 – not even Minaj’s.

However, while defending his chart history his commentary was perceived as an inadvertent diss to Nicki Minaj in the process – a feat that set in motion ongoing attacks from Barbz.

See what we mean inside:

6ix9ine spoke with Billboard, and when asked about getting help from Nicki Minaj to get his #1, he said, ”That’s my record.”

‘I love Nicki; that’s my sister. I love her to death,’ he said. ‘[But], when has Nicki ever had a #1 to this date?’

he later clarified he was not dissing her by mentioning her lack of #1s but was pointing to how unfair the industry is that she doesn’t have one.

‘It’s not Nicki’s fault [she doesn’t have a solo #1]; it’s the industry’s fault because she is just like me. She’s sh*tting on everybody…,’ he said.
