The American rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine threw a new music video at the same time and showed off his exquisitely expensive mansion, and all of this came while he was still under house arrest. The performer, who attracted a lot of controversy for his outlandish behavior, demonstrated in his long and loud video the sale of his single ‘Facts’, let the audience know about the lavishness of his house and at the same time told his critics that he had money and legal problems. The artist still endures confinement in his mansion, but his arrogance shines through.

The rainbow-haired rapper was always the one to take the blame, and his presence on social media is strong proof that he will never want to confront it. 6ix9ine disappeared with a video that is half the advertisement for the song, half the showcase of the property, and utterly disorderly in its energy. Although he was technically under house arrest due to court orders, he nevertheless insisted that his lifestyle was the opposite of restricted in every aspect.
The video opens with the artist announcing the ‘Facts’ music video release and then swiftly directing the audience to the place where he lives. “You know the vogue man, yo the facts music video is out now,” he shares with regard to a very touchy subject. “By the way, this is Niggas Criss and for the people asking how I got fat, this all I eat all day.”
A rapid succession of images hints at an extremely large estate. 6ix9ine is exhibiting the master bedroom with the “mermaid palace” bathroom which is, according to the artist, dying of luxury and showers as he has it with multiple rinsing spots and lavish furniture all around. He is also eager to flaunt his capacious closets with the fridges that are in the wardrobe for keeping the clothes fresh. He is making it unmistakably evident that the grand property belongs to him alone when he asserts, “I’m not in no A B and B. I am not going to fucking rent you. I don’t got no mortgage.”
At one point the rapper in the midst of the video warns his critics and suggests that they should examine their financial situation very closely instead. To make his point crystal clear, he wrote under the video the remark “To all my haters in 15 days it’s time to pay rent again so don’t waste time commenting see how you going to pay that on the 1st.”
The comments section was quickly filled up with mixed reactions, some of which were quite negative. A user highlighted the contradictory situation, saying “So it’s nice to be under house arrest,” and attached laughing emojis. Another user drew attention to what appeared to be 6ix9ine’s never-ending legal issues, “I swear bro been on house arrest for like 7 years now,” which prompted quite a few agreeing replies bringing up his repeated parole violations.
On the other hand, there were those who didn’t care for the controversy about the rapper’s legal problems. They seemed to be only interested in the funny side of things. “Bro making memes with out even trying,” one person went on to share, indicating how the rapper’s everyday behavior is so funny that it sometimes becomes a joke. Another one simply said “He crazyyyy but we love that,” with laughing emojis added.
The reactions to 6ix9ine’s latest video were not entirely good news. Some expressed doubts about the tastefulness of his home, one of them saying “Restroom looks tacky and cheap, should of got marble floors instead pleya.” This remark prompted a defensive question if the commenter has “already paid the rent for the house?”
One user was very interested in the financial aspect of 6ix9ine’s situation, saying “He owes the IRS 10 mil,” referring to his known tax debts. Another presented a more nuanced view on separating the artist from his legal difficulties, writing a long defense of 6ix9ine as a performer rather than of a street figure. This discussion even brought up Diddy, another high-profile figure in the music industry.
The strain of being under house arrest was visible in the footage but not the rapper’s spirits as he repeatedly prompted people to look at his new music video while showing his house and different rooms and features.
This incident is yet another case of 6ix9ine using social media to stake his claim to the narrative despite the legal constraints. Even from confinement, he still possesses the ability to attract attention and ignite debates. The rapper’s straightforward demeanor towards his predicament and open communication with both fans and opponents guarantee that he is constantly in the limelight, whether under house arrest or not?

The rapper continues to be the master of his own game, transforming his legal shackles into yet another aspect of his public persona while at the same time promoting his music and living his version of the high life from the comfort of his own home.
