It's been a long time since Nicki Minaj came up in conversation along with 6ix9ine, but she still graced one of his biggest songs ever. Moreover, that's a track that the 26-year-old is still playing at live events to this day, with or without the Young Money alum. During his set at the 2023 Beach Please Festival in Romania, he performed their track "FEFE" to a massive crowd, and people seemed pretty excited. Not only that, but he let Nicki's verse play in full and occasionally sang to keep people's energy up. Even though he hadn't made a performance appearance in a while, apparently he still knows how to rock a crowd.

On that note, given all the new music he dropped as of late, perhaps we'll see 6ix9ine in a live setting more often moving forward. The New York rapper's latest release was the song "Y Ahora" with Mexican band Group Firme, further leading us to his teased Latin album. While many clowned the "GUMMO" MC for his stylistic switch-up, it's by no means shocking or unprecedented. A couple of tracks from his peak presence in pop culture are in Spanish, and some are collaborations with the likes of Puerto Rican reggaetón artist Anuel AA.

As such, this change in primary sound probably isn't completely due to to his gym beatdown as many believe. Rather, it's just another step in his artistic evolution, a career path that he actually toned down before his viral attack. In addition to 6ix9ine's own moves, Nicki Minaj kept busy with new releases recently, as well. The most standout recent single has to be her remix of "Princess Diana" by Ice Spice, which got a lot of praise and was much-anticipated by fans.

Overall, the controversial artist still seemed to have a pretty good time at the Romanian festival. He also took a moment to honor the late XXXTENTACION during his set as well amid some of his biggest hits and collaborations. While he seems to be on a much different path these days, it's insane to look back on tracks like "FEFE" and think of just how big he got in the rap game. Regardless, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest on 6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj.
