LAST MINUTE: Tekashi Six Nine will be released on August 2
Tekashi 6ix9ine, troll of trolls
Tekashi Six Nine, currently in prison (likely to be released in July 2020) has laid the foundations of an entire artistic career based on trolled. Although his Instagram video calls are very curious, the most striking performance was that of his surprise visit to a dodgy part of Chicago where not everyone is allowed access.
"This is the O-Block? Rather it seems like the No Block, because there is no one! », Tekashi came to say in a video that he posted on his Instagram
6ix9ine visited the so-called O'Block in Chicago to assert himself and show off several rappers with whom he was at open war at the time (including Chief Kief). Although Six Nine claimed that he went at ten at night, a recording from a security camera revealed that Tekashi went to said neighborhood at 3 AM and was out of the car for less than a minute in total.
Six Nine also took advantage of their visit to Chicago to distribute food among homeless people and, of course, publicize it on their social networks.
Lil Pump and Harvard
As early in his career as 2017, Lil Pump had to start dealing with absurd rumors. The same year that he launched his famous gucci gang, Lil Pump was surrounded by incessant comments claiming that he, far from being a alley, He had studied at the prestigious Harvard University. After tweeting that she had, indeed, dropped out of Harvard "to save the street," Lil Pump named her 2019 album Harvard Dropout (subtle nod to college dropout by Kanye West).
Kanye West shuts up with an absurd song
Speaking of Kanye, the one from Chicago starred in a somewhat bizarre moment in 2018. In the midst of a storm of criticism that made him ugly for his strange attitude and his almost abandonment of the world of rap (in favor of selling sneakers), Kanye took action.
The rapper announced that he would release a song "to close the mouth of Ebro" (American radio journalist). In effect, Kanye released Lift Yourself. To put it mildly, there is nowhere to take the song. After two minutes of electronica without lyrics, Kanye West finishes the job by saying the following: «Watch this… poopity scoop, scooptity woop, woopity, scoopty poop».

Drake and the Toronto Raptors
Drake worked quite a bit on his trolled to Steph Curry at the playoffs of the 2018 NBA. The Canadian rapper showed up to a game of the Golden State Warriors against the Toronto Raptors wearing a jersey of Curry's father, Dell Curry, of the Canadian team. It so happens, of course, that the current Curry plays for the Golden State. Drake's jersey was even signed by the player. We never found out how Steph Curry took the joke. What we did see was a brief discussion between the two during the meeting and in which Drake came to pull his hair. shocking

Drake vs. Pusha T.
Without leaving Drake, it is impossible not to mention his beef with Pusha T. That was non-stop trolled both sides. Fortunately for the Canadian, this time he felt him touching himself in the losers' seat. Drake himself recognized it a few days ago in an interview where he confessed that he lost the battle and that, moreover, he does not want to hear anything more about Pusha. Normal, it must not have been very funny that the rapper revealed to the world that Drake had a secret son. It happened in the song The story of Addidon, one of the most scandalous moments in hip hop history.
Don't owe 50 Cent money
Good old 50 Cent has a few memorable trolling. Although it is possible that we all already have in mind which was number one (yes, Ja Rule's), we chose to wait and highlight others that also had his grace. They all have money as a common element.
Since he released his first album with Aftermath, Get Rich or Die Trying (2001), 50 Cent has indeed struck it rich. Very very rich. So much so that he has not hesitated to lend money to many people. Some of them have had the nerve not to return it. And if there's anyone who shouldn't be owed money, it's 50 Cent. The New Yorker began a wave of accusations in 2019 "this one owes me money, this one also owes me money" which included artists like Tony Yayo, Lil Bow Wow, Biz Markie or Teairra Mari, which had to pay the rapper $30.000 via court order.
50 cent bitcoin millionaire? lying and trolling
Interestingly, several years earlier, 50 Cent had no problem publicly declaring that he was broke. We never knew for sure if that was trolled or not, but the truth is that he had to release 22 million dollars to the United States government. The interesting thing was what we could read en his bankruptcy application document, because there 50 Cent confessed that he had never had any Bitcoin (when months before he had pimped on Instagram that he was making a fortune thanks to cryptocurrency).
In 2018 all the media claimed that 50 Cent had won 8 million with his disk Animal Instinct (2014) thanks to the fact that he accepted the payment in Bitcoins. What almost no media reported was that in that same 2014 50 Cent converted the bitcoins into dollars, eliminating all the future profit that could have been taken with the sudden rise in the value of the cryptocurrency in 2017.
Eminem vs MGK
Eminem and MGK starred in 2018 one of the beef's red-hot of the entire decade. After mentioning MGK on his record Kamikaze, he responded with a more than outstanding diss track called RapDevil. Eminem responded with killshot, yes, but before that, the one from Detroit uploaded a video to his Instagram where we saw him playing one of the arcade machines he has at home.
The detail was very subtle: the video game he was playing was Pac-Man, like one of the many tattoos MGK has. It was Em's way of telling the world that, deep down, what the other white guy had to say about him didn't matter in the least.
A$ap Rocky Mixtape y Rod Stewart?
50 bought 2018 seats for a Ja Rule concert in 200 and published this photo montage on his networks
One of the strangest trolling came in 2015 during an interview. Rapper A$ap Rocky trolled everyone big time by leading us to believe that he was about to drop a collaborative album with legend Rod Stewart. After the two collaborated together on the song Everyday, Rocky told the magazine Vulture that there was a disk on the way. The imaginary mixtape even had a title: Born to be pretty.
50 Cent buys 200 tickets to Ja Rule
It is possibly the most epic trolling in the history of hip hop. Curtis Jackson 50 Cent, troll of trolls, went so far as to buy 200 front row seats from a Ja Rule concert to make them empty. Both 50 Cent and Eminem have been in an open verbal war with Ja Rule for almost two decades. Eminem has served to mark some of his best beef tracks: The songs that 50 Cent has dedicated to him are also numerous, highlighting perhaps Wanksta, Backdown and Your life is online above all.
Although the history of affairs between Ja Rule and 50 Cent goes back a long way (both are from Queens, New York), the highlight was reached on October 30, 2018. 50 Cent spent $3.000 buying 200 seats for the Ja Rule concert in Arlington, Texas. The relatively low price of each ticket ($15) purchased via Groupon is striking. Ja Rule himself took the joke with a good sense of humor on Twitter.
