Tekashi 6ix9ine is back to his messy ways and this time he is targeting Lil Durk’s religious beliefs. During a recent livestream with Adin Ross on December 31st, the rainbow haired rapper debuted a fiery new diss track taking shots not only at Durk but also at Doechii and others. The most controversial bars accuse Lil Durk of being a fake Muslim, crossing a line that many feel is disrespectful to religious faith regardless of personal beefs.
6ix9ine has never respected boundaries in rap feuds but attacking someone’s religious practice feels especially low even by his standards. The diss track arrives as Lil Durk remains in federal custody facing serious murder for hire charges related to an alleged plot to kill Quando Rondo in retaliation for King Von’s death. Tekashi appears to be capitalizing on Durk’s legal troubles by kicking him while he is down, a strategy that has earned him attention but little respect in hip hop circles.
Critics immediately called out 6ix9ine for the religious angle pointing out that questioning someone’s faith is a line that should not be crossed in rap beef. Supporters of Durk noted that attacking a man’s religious beliefs while he is fighting for his freedom is particularly cruel and cowardly. The track also includes shots at Doechii, the rising female rapper who has had a breakout year. Tekashi’s decision to drag her into the mess seems unnecessary and suggests he is desperate for any viral moment.
Adin Ross’s platform has become a go to spot for controversial rappers to debut inflammatory content knowing the massive audience will amplify whatever drama unfolds. The livestream format allows artists like 6ix9ine to create instant viral moments without traditional music releases. Industry observers note that Tekashi 6ix9ine’s relevance now increasingly depends on controversy rather than music quality. Since his cooperation with federal authorities damaged his credibility in hip hop, he has resorted to desperate tactics to stay in headlines.
The Muslim community has expressed disappointment that religious faith is being weaponized in a rap beef calling for artists to maintain some boundaries even in competitive genres. As of now neither Lil Durk nor Doechii has responded to the diss track, focusing instead on bigger matters than entertaining a troll.
