The spat between Snoop Dogg and Tekashi 6ix9ine has escalated after the latter appeared to imply Snoop had snitched on Death Row co-founder Suge Knight.
Snoop has become a vocal critic of 6ix9ine and recently criticised the media for writing about the controversial rapper in a positive light after his early release from prison.
Over the weekend, 6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, posted an Instagram story asking fans if they thought he should reveal other rappers who “snitched” on their peers.
Instagram account The Shade Room shared a screenshot of the story in an Instagram post, which received a comment from 6ix9ine: “@snoopdogg hey sir let’s chat.”
69x9ine then left another comment suggesting Snoop had snitched on Knight: “ur in denial the paper work is online and suge knight speaks on it from prison but we choose to ignore who we want to call rats. [sic]”
Complex reports that after denying the claim, Snoop posted a since-deleted video warning 6ix9ine to stop talking about him.
“Last time you said something, I ain’t have time. But today, I got time,” he reportedly said. “You better get the f*** off my line, n***a. Rat boy, you really better leave me alone. I ain’t the one. No way ... Go on and do yo’ shit and get out my way, bitch. You funky dog-head, rainbow-head, dog-head b***h. Yeah, you. Better leave the Dogg alone. Go find you a cat. Tom and Jerry s***. Fuck with the Dogg, nothing nice, b***h. Rat boy.”
However, 6ix9ine refused to back down and then left a comment pointing out Snoop had not denied the apparent existence of “paperwork” supposedly proving he once cooperated with law enforcement.
Snoop has yet to reply to 6ix9ine’s latest post. It’s possible he’s following his own advice from last week to “let it go”, after he filmed himself in his car listening to the Frozen theme.
