Tekashi 6ix9ine Accuses Billboard Of “Manipulating The Charts” In Favor Of Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber

Tekashi 6ix9ine is all about the #1 spot on Billboard with his record breaking single “GOOBA”. He’s currently fighting to beat Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande’s collaboration for the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.

The rainbow haired rapper has earlier taken to Instagram to send Billboard a message. “@billboard We’re watching this very closely. The world is watching very closely, we love you and always supported the charting,” he wrote.

And when 6ix9ine realized that Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s “Stuck With U” has jumped ahead of his song, “Gooba,” in a forecast of next week’s Hot 100 chart, he decided to send a public message to Billboard.

“Imma make this real quick, ‘cause I’ll be real disappointed if Billboard gets paid for No. 1s [and] somehow manipulate the charts,” he said in an Instagram video.

“I want the whole world to see this, because what I’m about to show you is a forecast of what every label in the world gets: Atlantic, Interscope, Republic, Columbia, Sony, Universal Music, every label gets this.”

6ix9ine points out that “Stuck With U” submitted 60,000 units “out of nowhere” at the “last second” on Thursday night, which he claims is “completely illegal.” Now, a new forecast reads that “Stuck With U” has reached No. 1, “GOOBA” remains at No. 2, and “Say So (Remix)” is now at No. 3.

“They went from being fifth place to first place out of nowhere,” he says about Ari and Justin, claiming that Billboard was promoting a signed CD bundle for Ari and Justin, which he believes helped to “manipulate the charts” and get “Stuck With U” to No. 1.

For a very limited time, you can get a #STUCKWITHU CD signed by @ArianaGrande and @ justinbieber. https://t.co/jrEqMbQpGO

The self acclaimed King of New York added that “GOOBA” has garnered “200 million streams,” which he claims is “double the streams” than any other song on the charts right now, he should be dominating by “a landslide.”

“Literally, you’re manipulating the charts now,” 6ix9ine concluded. Listen to him below :
