In the midst of a war of words with Meek Mill, 6ix9ine is back today with his first song since he was arrested on gun and drug charges in late 2018. He first revealed the song, titled “GOOBA,” via a digital billboard in New York City’s Times Square.
On the track, he directly addresses being labeled a “rat” for cooperating with law enforcement in the case:
N*ggas tweetin' bout me, got me trendin', b*tch you big sad
Tell me how I rat and came home to a big bag
The rapper’s rise from hip-hop villain to key witness in the RICO trial of his former gang affiliates has played out in Hollywood-like fashion over the past year following his arrest. He took the stand against his former Nine Trey Gangsta Blood affiliates to explain how his music career got him involved in gang life. This included explanations of how the lyrics and videos for hits like “GUMMO,” “KOODA,” and “BILLY” showcase a pattern of criminal activity. He was released from prison early into home confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic affecting New York City.
Expect more new music on the horizon. He recently inked a new record deal for two new albums worth a reported $10 million. Whether fans will embrace him after his cooperation with government officials, however, remains to be seen.
