--------
Tekashi 6ix9ine revealed that he paid to help his single "Trollz," featuring Nicki Minaj, reach number one on the Billboard charts. The track famously dropped from #1 to #34 in its second week—the largest fall in chart history at the time—a record later broken by Taylor Swift. Tekashi claimed he invested heavily to push the single to the top amidst what he described as inflated and manipulated industry chart numbers. Despite the admission, he emphasized that he didn’t need to buy streams or numbers to maintain his status as one of the hottest rappers, asserting his genuine popularity. The rapper also criticized the music industry's practices while denying being an "industry plant," stressing his organic rise from delivering food in 2015 to global stardom.
