6ix9ine explains how to stay relevant.

Tekashi 6ix9ine's managed to maintain his consistency throughout the year despite many people feeling he would've fell off. Although every single song he's released so far has charted on the Billboard Hot 100, he recently obtained his highest charting song this past month with "Fefe" featuring Nicki Minaj. While it can be argued that he's at the peak of his career, the rapper seems to have a plan on how not to fall off.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has shared his gems on how to stay relevant in the rap game. The rapper took to Instagram to share a message to his fellow rappers peers and fans on why rapper's end up falling off and can't produce another hit single.

"I got a quick little message for the whole world right now and this is specifically for rappers but for the fans too so y'all could understand why your favorite rapper fell off," 6ix9ine said. "The reason y'all fall off and y'all can't produce another fucking hit is because y'all think y'all too cool. When a rapper thinks you too cool, you fall off. Your whole fanbase don't give a fuck about you."

"Bro, make fun of yourself sometimes. Sometimes, you can't be that cool person. I don't give a fuck, I could be a fan of another artist. I'm on top of the game right now," he added. "I'll stand in front of the show, in front row and sing all the lyrics. My favorite rapper is Lil Baby and I'm not scared to say I'm too cool for it... I could beef with them and tell them n***as, 'Yo fuck you.' But I'll still be a fan."

Ultimately, 6ix9ine's clearly trying to get on his Logic tip and push peace, love and positivity.
