Tekashi 6ix9ine Breaks Records Under House Arrest

Daniel Hernandez, alias Tekashi 6ix9ine, is back to work and already breaking records, just days after getting out of jail. The 24-year-old celebrated his birthday on Friday with an IG Live which garnered 2 million live viewers, in defense of his three-day snitch fest against the criminal Nine Trey Bloods gang to the Feds.
He smashed Babyface and Teddy Riley's previous record of 513,000 live viewers, becoming the most viewed personality on IG Live. That is not all, the rainbow-haired rapper also released new music! Dubbed "Gooba", the stint broke YouTube record for the biggest 24-hour debut in hip-hop with 43 million views, edging out Eminem's "Killshot" which premiered at 38 million in 2018.
6ix9ine was released from prison late last month, four months before completing his 2-year sentence, amid coronavirus concerns and his asthma condition. He is, however, serving the rest of his sentence on home confinement.

Tekashi 6ix9ine literally broke the Internet today. He broke the live streaming record with 2 MILLION concurrent viewers, beating previous record by more the 1.5 million viewers. His new music video currently broke YouTube, which is showing 1.3 million likes to only 500k views. pic.twitter.com/uTJM7VcCLa

Erykah Badu and Jill Scott Host First 'Verzuz' Women's Hits Battle

Erykah Badu and Jill Scott went head to head Saturday night on IG Live with the very first Verzuz hits battle by women. The beloved Neo-soul legends raked in over 700,000 live viewers, becoming the second most viewed live ever on the platform. The 3-hour music fest also saw Michelle Obama fangirling in the comments section, requesting Badu's hit "Green Eyes."
The soul sisters each played at least 10 songs of their choice resulting to a draw in which most described as a cultural win. The Verzuz series is a project by Swiss Beatz and Timbaland where music icons battle it out, entertaining fans during quarantine. T-Pain and Lil John, music producers Scott Storch and Mannie Fresh, Teddy Riley and Babyface have previously featured on the battle series.

If there's anything to take from this Jill Scott and Erykah Badu battle - Queens see Queens and fear no competition.

The compliments, love and encouragement they showed one another was so graceful.

Tyra Banks Apologizes for Old Problematic 'ANTM' Clips

Tyra Banks has broken silence on insensitive remarks she made in a past "America's Next Top Model" video clip. On Friday, the supermodel issued an apology on Twitter saying, "Been seeing the posts about the insensitivity of some past 'ANTM' moments and I agree with you", adding, "Looking back, those were some really off choices. Appreciate your honest feedback and am sending so much love and virtual hugs".
The old clip in question was a 2006 episode where Tyra "advised" one of the show's contestants to have the gap in her front teeth closed, because "it wasn't marketable".

Been seeing the posts about the insensitivity of some past ANTM moments and I agree with you. Looking back, those were some really off choices. Appreciate your honest feedback and am sending so much love and virtual hugs. ❤️

Why should she apologise though. It was just a different time, when people told the truth, and were not so politically correct. Danielle might not have gotten jobs with that gap, and that's that. Now we just walk on eggshells.

There's this weird culture of people trying to find anything and everything to bring someone down. What she said 'ALL THOSE YEARS AGO' was not cute, but what is that compared to everything she's doing for women with regard to body image, confidence, colour positivity etc. STOP IT

It extends pass ANTM sis. You full on mad a Trans man a spectacle on your Talk show, made fun of homeless ppl in your book Modelland the list goes on. It didn't just stop in the early 2000s and It's beyond just "off choices". It's hateful as fuck.
