Lil Nas X Responds To Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Homophobic Comments, Says He Slid Into His DMs

Tekashi 6ix9ine’s attempt at clowning Lil Nas X may have backfired.

On Thursday (March 4), 6ix9ine commented on an Instagram blog post featuring a New York Post article headline about China reportedly making COVID-19 anal swabs mandatory for foreigners, taking the opportunity to take a homophobic swipe at Nas X in the process.

“Lil Nas X entered the chat,” Tekashi posted in the Instagram comments along with a skull emoji.

The slight was not missed by the openly gay Nas X. The Old Town Road rapper, who is no slouch when it comes to clapbacks, responded on Instagram, taking his own jab at 6ix9ine. Nas X did this by sharing alleged DMs from Tekashi that Nas X apparently left on read. In one DM from last October, 6ix9ine allegedly wrote, “Yo” to Nas X. When that did not work, he allegedly tried again on Feb. 16. “Gonna be in your city soon what you doin lol,” the screenshot reads.

Nas X captioned the post featuring the alleged 6ix9ine DMs with “This you??!”

Nas X’s video went viral with fans commenting their pleasure over his dragging of the Gooba rapper.

“It’s the exposure for me,” one fan wrote.

“LMAOOOOO I LOVE THIS PETTYNESS,” another commented, while one pointed out how badly 6ix9ine’s clowning had backfired by saying, “Oh how the tables have turned.”

6ix9ine responded to Lil Nas X’s attempt to expose him, making an Instagram video that attempts to refute the Southern artist’s claims. “Before this shit even start, we gonna nip this in the [bud],” Tekashi starts, before going on to show his Instagram account direct messages, trying to prove that he never had any interactions with Lil Nas X previously.

But if Vlogger, Empressive’s post (watch below) is anything to go by, nobody is buying what Tekashi is selling.
