Famous snitch and sometimes-musician Tekashi 6ix9ine has dragged Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande into defending their latest tune, “Stuck With U,” from his accusations of numbers-cooking.
Tekashi, who was Chet Hanks already, and has now set his sights on Bieber and Grande, claiming that his post-prison single, “GOOBA,” was locked out of a No. 1 Billboard debut only because of the pair’s coronavirus charity effort.
“YOU’RE A LIE AND CORRUPT,” he whinged at Billboard A separate post made reference to “6 credit cards used to buy 60,000 copies [of ‘Stuck with U’] in the last hour.”
Grande, 26, was the first to respond, writing on her own Instagram, “To anybody that is displeased with their placement on the chart this week or who is spending their time racking their brain thinking of as many ways as they can to discredit hardworking women (and only the women for some reason… ), i ask u to take a moment to humble yourself.”
Bieber, 26, then came to Grande’s defense, writing, “This is my song with Ariana Grande and I’m honored to work with her to help raise money for a great cause. If you gonna say her name make sure you say mine because it’s our song.”
Tekashi may be taking a page from a friend’s playbook: Nicki Minaj — who dueted with the younger rapper on “FEFE” — threw a similar tantrum when her most recent album, “Queen,” lost its No. 1 debut to Travis Scott.
