Why Is 6ix9ine Not on Spotify?

Controversial American rapper 6ix9ine has been the talk of the town for months, thanks to his tumultuous legal battle, but why is he not on Spotify? The answer is complex and has to do with his behavior as a public figure.

6ix9ine (real name Daniel Hernandez) rose to fame in late 2017 with the release of his breakout single “Gummo”. His brash, confrontational style quickly earned him a passionate fan base and gained him millions of streams on both YouTube and Spotify.

However, in 2018 he pleaded guilty to nine counts of criminal activity and was sentenced to a four-year prison term. While he was in jail, his music still continued to be streamed on Spotify, but after he was released in April 2020 he was no longer available on the streaming platform.

It’s widely believed that Spotify removed 6ix9ine from its platform due to his past behavior. The streaming service has a strict policy against artists who have been convicted of certain crimes, including sexual assault and hate speech.

In addition, 6ix9ine’s lyrics have often been criticized for being misogynistic and homophobic. These factors likely weighed heavily in Spotify’s decision to remove him from its platform.

6ix9ine has also been accused of collaborating with gangs in the past, which could be another contributing factor to his removal from Spotify. Although it has never been confirmed that 6ix9ine was involved with gangs, the allegations are serious enough that they could have influenced the streaming service’s decision.

Conclusion:

6ix9ine is not available on Spotify due to his past behavior as a public figure and the allegations that he may have collaborated with gangs. His lyrics have also come under criticism for being misogynistic and homophobic which likely played a part in Spotify’s decision to remove him from its platform.
