I just saw he had to settle for a shade room interview with some random chick
the views ain’t movin the needle much so far (was uploaded to YouTube about 4 hrs ago)
I listened to the interview while multitasking, and it was actually very interesting. He broke down the reason why he cooperated which included being kidnapped and attacked because he sided with his manager who was one half of the gang, his manager engaging in sexual relations with his then girlfriend, and also finding out the manager was stealing from him.
In my opinion this serves as a cautionary tale of how easy it is to be swept up in fame, and not see the people who you thought had your back actually sticking knives into it.
I am not going to judge Tekashi for what he did, and I understand the “street code”, however it’s all fun and games until it actually happens to you. It would be interesting to hear if other people would sacrifice their life for people who were disloyal.
Anyway I like to think of myself as a positive person, so I really do hope that everything works out for Tekashi because when you take away the bravado, the multicolored hair and all the “trolling” what I see, and I could be wrong is a vulnerable, hurt, misguided (albeit smart) young man who unfortunately surrounded himself with people who didn’t have his best interest at heart, and this resulted in unfortunate circumstances.
