Tekashi 6ix9ine may be one of the most hated men in the United States, but the rapper-turned-snitch still has a very healthy fanbase overseas and is looking to cash in on his popularity by releasing branded cryptocurrency.
According to HipHopDX, the “Fefe” rapper traveled to Romania to take the stage at the annual Beach Please! music festival. While visiting the European country Tekashi 6ix9ine took to Instagram to announce he was releasing a new “Dummy Coin” for his fans to invest in.
In the now-deleted post (that disappeared quickly), Tekashi explained that there were some open slots for investors, and for those who were willing to buy into his new venture, there would be a chance to link up with the rapper-turned states evidence.
Per HipHopDX:
“We just got to Romania,” he began. “I’m super grateful for the ability to travel. Romania, we’re live tomorrow at Beach, Please! I want to apologize to all my fans for being very disconnected with you guys, but I got some great news — I just released a Dummy Coin.
“For the first 2,000 holders who buy into the Dummy Coin, you will be selected to do a meet and greet here in Romania […] Also, we’ll pick three select few to join us on stage for the last song, which is ‘GUMMO.’”
Sounds like Tekashi might be in dire need of money if he’s resorting to such tactics to drum up some cash. As to whether anyone invested in his “Dummy Coin” and met and chilled with him, that’s anyone’s guess.
Tekashi’s latest “business venture” comes months after the IRS raided his home and relieved him of some very expensive automobiles to satisfy his debt to Uncle Sam. If Tekashi is out here making bank on cryptocurrency, don’t be surprised if the IRS finds a way to come for those dollars too. They can be ruthless when they want to.
