A clash between two prominent rap figures has erupted across social media, pulling fans into a heated debate and adding fresh tension to hip-hop’s ever-churning landscape. Sukihana publicly challenged Tekashi 6ix9ine over disparaging remarks he directed at Young Thug, a dispute that escalated when 6ix9ine invoked the name of his late friend, Ariela La Langosta, drawing the controversy into even more personal terrain.
La Langosta was found dead in her car this past August, her death still under investigation, according to People. At the time, 6ix9ine shared his grief online, writing, “NY won’t ever be the same. I loved you.” His decision to bring her into a public feud has since sparked backlash from those who say her memory should remain untouched by online sparring.
On Instagram, Sukihana urged the rapper to redirect his focus. “Six9ine stop talking bout thug and talk bout home girl that just died,” she wrote. The remark drew an immediate and pointed response from 6ix9ine: “The girl was one of my best friends who I met while being a girl in my music videos. She was killed because HER BOYFRIEND owed money. What does that have to do with ya man tellin @sukihanagoat I know ya PH balance off stank treesh.”
6ix9ine taunts as Young Thug faces scrutiny
The exchange ricocheted through hip-hop media after DJ Akademiks shared the posts with his audience. Reactions were mixed: one commenter praised 6ix9ine’s sharp retorts, while another noted, “His plan is starting to work. Attention by any means necessary.”
Amid the uproar, 6ix9ine has leaned into the spectacle by teasing a new diss track aimed squarely at Young Thug. Previewing it on Instagram, he wrote, “Seen a snake turn spider turn rat don’t tell the world just please let me out man watchaht.” The track, which borrows from the nursery rhyme “The Itsy Bitsy Spider,” is in keeping with his penchant for provocation.
For Young Thug, the timing is fraught. He is already under scrutiny after a resurfaced interrogation video fueled speculation about whether he cooperated with authorities—a claim he has denied, backed by Peewee Roscoe, the man referenced in the clip. Separate leaked phone calls from prison have only added to the chatter, leaving Thug navigating both legal challenges and the relentless gaze of the public.
