Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has given folks new reasons who detest the diminutive emcee.
During a concert tour stop in Russia, Tekashi actually had the intestinal fortitude to say “f— Brittney Griner” while touring the capital city of Russia over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Griner is languishing in a Russian prison after being convicted of smuggling traces of marijuana into the country. She has been sentenced to nine years in a prison camp while U.S. and Russian diplomats try to negotiate a prisoner swap.
Tekashi, who narrowly avoided decades behind bars when he infamously ratted out the New York gang members he engaged in criminality with, was hardly sympathetic to Griner’s harrowing experience.
“You know we out here, s— is crazy,” Tekash said before leaning into the camera and saying: “F— Brittney Griner” with a laugh.

Fans were incensed at the insensitivity exhibited by 6ix9ine and ripped into the “Troll” rapper.
“Someone tell Putin that America will gladly exchange 6ix9ine for Britney Griner. And that he can be found at the Red Square,” one fan tweeted.
Another added that “6ix9ine has to resort [to] dissing Brittney Griner for clout now. That n—- truly fell off.”
After ducking because of the intense blowback following his careless words, Tekashi tried to blame his callousness on being inebriated.
