I think I'll just stick to listening to the original, thanks.


Unexpected duo Tekashi 6ix9ine and Akon team up for ‘Locked Up’ sequel. 'Locked Up Part 2' comes 16 years after the original in 2004.

On June 7th, 6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, shared a clip of himself and Akon listening back to the record on Instagram. “LOCKED UP PART 2 IM ON ALBUM MODE,” he captioned the clip. “THIS ALBUM GOING CRAZYYYYYYY. @akon”

Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to two years in prison for crimes he carried out while he was a member of a violent gang. The BBC states, “The 23-year-old initially denied the charges but entered a plea bargain, giving evidence against other gang members in order to get a reduced sentence. The rapper had been facing a minimum of 47 years and a maximum of life in prison but the plea bargain means he could be released around November 2020.” But as we all know, that didn’t last long - and he’s now out, producing music.

 He testified against former members of Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. The offences 6ix9ine was charged with include racketeering, carrying a firearm, assault with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy murder charges.

The BBC also clarifies, “Nine Trey Bloods committed robberies, dealt drugs and were violent against rivals and each other according to their testimonies. 6ix9ine gave information on Anthony Ellison and Aljermiah Mack and both men have since been convicted. Ellison was also found guilty of kidnapping 6ix9ine, maiming and assault - while Mack was also found guilty on drug dealing charges.”

Lets not also forget about his indecent sexual assault scandal on a minor (who was 13!). Where he was arrested and charged with the use of a child in a sexual performance. He pleaded  guilty to one felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance. According to Vulture, “the terms of his plea deal state that in the time until his sentencing (originally meant for October 2017, but since continuously postponed until October 2018), he is to complete one year of probation, 300 hours of community service, two years of mental health treatment, not to share “sexually explicit or violent images featuring women/children” to social media, and write an apology letter to the victim and her family — all of which appear to have since been completed.”

The 24-year-old rainbow-haired rapper, was recently granted an early prison release amid the coronavirus pandemic. To which he then took to social media to share a clip of himself rapping new lyrics over the beat of Akon's 2004 song "Locked Up." (With Akon next to him) - I think I’ll just stick to listening to the original, thanks.
