Tekashi 6ix9ine No Kid Hungry Charity
Tekashi 6ix9ine attempted to make a large donation, but the charity didn't want anything to do with him.

He's been pegged to be a professional and social pariah, and now it's reported that even charities don't want anything to do with Tekashi 6ix9ine. The rapper has made a triumphant and bold return to the rap scene within the last week, and it's been quite profitable for the young star. While there are artists that want nothing to do with the federal informant, 6ix9ine has returned to trolling the masses for profit. He's jumped on Instagram Live to share his side of his courtroom story, hoping people will understand his perspective. Even still, he's berated his fellow artists, engaged in online arguments, and has been called out by the mother of his daughter on multiple occasions. 

In an effort to appear altruistic, Tekashi 6ix9ine attempted to make a generous donation of $200K to No Kid Hungry. Not long after the news of the donation circulated, the non-profit organization issued a statement saying that they've decided to refuse the offer. "We are grateful for Mr. Hernandez’s generous offer to donate to No Kid Hungry but we have informed his representatives that we have declined this donation," they stated. "As a child-focused campaign, it is our policy to decline funding from donors whose activities do not align with our mission and values."

After catching wind of the news, 6ix9ine blasted the organization for refusing money that would help children. "@nokidhungry rather take food out the mouth of these innocent children I never seen something so cruel." Someone call up one of Tekashi 6ix9ine's foes and have them match that donation.
