Jim Jones was once heard saying that Tekashi 6ix9ine should be violated during a wire-tapped phone call. Tekashi also once called the Dipset member a rat.

A lot of folks believe rap music — in particular NBA YoungBoy — led Ja Morant down a bad path. While Morant is a huge YB fan, it seems a bit unfair to single him out. YB has been denouncing violence and getting religion while Ja is pulling up eight deep on high schools. When […]
