Rapper 6ix9ine praised Nicki Minaj for her fearless online behavior, using a striking metaphor to describe her actions in a recent interview. He stated that Minaj is “burning her hand on that stove to expose something greater,” suggesting her controversial posts serve a larger purpose. The interview was recorded and is expected to be released soon after technical issues with the hosting platform were resolved.
The “Burning Hand” Statement
During his conversation with Celebrity Guest Tape, 6ix9ine expressed strong support for Nicki Minaj’s approach to social media. He acknowledged that her strategy might “sound crazy” to some but insisted that she is onto something significant with her outspoken posts. His comments highlight a belief that Minaj’s willingness to face backlash is a calculated move for a bigger reveal, though the specific nature of what she is exposing remains unclear. This is not the first time 6ix9ine has publicly backed the rapper; he has previously come to her defense against online critics.
History of Collaboration and Controversy
The professional relationship between 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj has often been a source of public debate. Their most famous collaboration, the 2020 single “Trollz,” debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 but also sparked discussions about commercial success in the music industry. In a 2021 interview, 6ix9ine seemed to justify the song’s performance by stating he had “exposed the world, that you can buy number ones,” though he did not explicitly confirm doing so for “Trollz.”
Their partnership dates back to 2018 with the track “FEFE,” which was added to Minaj’s album “Queen.” This earlier collaboration drew significant criticism due to 6ix9ine’s guilty plea to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance. At the time, many fans and commentators expressed disappointment that Minaj would choose to work with him, creating a rift within her fanbase.
Nicki Minaj’s Recent Social Media Activity
Nicki Minaj has consistently made headlines for her engagements on social media platforms. Recently, she sparked debate by reposting a video from the White House TikTok account that featured her song “Va Va Voom.” The video highlighted former President Donald Trump‘s policy achievements, leading some fans to question if she was endorsing his political views.
In another instance, a different White House video used a mashup of her song “Beez in the Trap.” Minaj reacted lightheartedly online, writing, “The President & First Lady of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!! Barbz, idk which one of you uploaded this to the White House TikTok but just know unlimited backstage GAG CITY FOR LIFE.” These actions have generated mixed reactions, with some supporters defending her right to share content without it being a political statement, while others in her largely LGBTQ+ fanbase have expressed concern.
Fan Reactions to the Ongoing Partnership
The continued association between Nicki Minaj and 6ix9ine has long divided her audience. When “Trollz” was released, social media was flooded with polarized responses. Some critics questioned her decision to work with someone with his legal history, while others defended her artistic choices. Following the announcement of their collaboration, 6ix9ine mocked the backlash online, commenting, “Imagine trying to cancel the queen since 2014 and imagine canceling the king after he ratted and they still sell millions of records.”
