Rapper 6ix9ine is back at the center of hip-hop controversy after taking aim at Fat Joe during a new VladTV interview. In the clip, titled “Tekashi 6ix9ine: Fat Joe is a B****, He’s the King of Cap,” the Brooklyn rapper criticized Fat Joe while discussing respect, credibility, and what he views as hypocrisy inside the rap industry. The interview quickly gained attention because of 6ix9ine’s blunt language and his willingness to name major figures directly. (VladTV)

The VladTV conversation centered on 6ix9ine defending his place in hip-hop despite years of backlash tied to his federal racketeering case, public feuds, and reputation for trolling. According to VladTV’s summary, 6ix9ine described himself as a trendsetter and argued that his success came from being transparent, extreme, and fully committed to his image. He also claimed his music consistently performed well, even as critics continued questioning his credibility. (VladTV)
His comments about Fat Joe appear to be part of a larger argument about who gets forgiven, who gets judged, and who gets called out in rap culture. Fat Joe has previously been critical of 6ix9ine, especially after the rapper cooperated with federal authorities in the Nine Trey Gangsters case. 6ix9ine has often pushed back against that criticism by accusing other artists and industry figures of double standards.
The interview also shows how 6ix9ine continues to use controversy as part of his media strategy. Even without a major mainstream hit currently dominating the charts, his interviews still generate reaction because he speaks directly about names, accusations, and old rap-world conflicts. VladTV’s homepage also promoted the full members-only interview as covering Boosie, Gucci Mane, Drake, Lil Durk, Fat Joe, and Boston Richey. (VladTV)

For fans, the latest Fat Joe remarks are another example of 6ix9ine refusing to step away from conflict. For critics, they reinforce the belief that his brand depends heavily on provocation. Either way, the VladTV clip has already restarted debate over 6ix9ine’s role in hip-hop, Fat Joe’s criticism of him, and whether controversy remains the rapper’s strongest tool for staying relevant.
