Tekashi 6ix9ine Becomes Internet’s Biggest Snitch

by

The famous rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested last year for racketeering, drug trafficking, and assisting in other crimes. Originally it was believed Tekashi would serve a life sentence in prison, but authorities have said they would reduce it to 15 years if he agreed to name members of The Bloods Gang. Some of his confessions have included big hip hop names like Jim Jones and Cardi B, which has shocked many. While his confession involves a serious matter, people on social media have found his “snitching” to be downright comical, creating a new meme from the trial photos.

Reference To Other Artists

One of the funniest contributions makes a reference to a popular reggae/r&b song from 2000 by Shaggy. In the song Shaggy repeatedly denies cheating on his girlfriend, claiming “it wasn’t me” (15 times to be exact). Seems Tekashi 6ix9ine had other ideas…

Tekashi Solves Biggest Rap Murder Cases

It also had others curious if 6ix9ine would confess about other unexplained disappearances and murders of fellow rappers, most famously Tupac. 

Confessions Part 3…

Usher’s career really skyrocketed with his release of the songs “Confessions” and “Confessions Part II,” in which he crooned the famous line “If I’m gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all,” which could be similar to Tekashi’s current decision. 

Tekashi Jumpstarts Impeachment

Others poke fun at the timing of Tekashi’s confession lining up with Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to declare an official impeachment process against Trump. Could it have been Tekashi who was the whistleblower?

No Need For Witness Protection

With all of these confessions, Tekashi 6ix9ine is still looking to face 10-15 years in prison. Many are greatly worried for his safety after he is released, for the rapper has stated he does not want to be a part of the Witness Protection Program so that he can continue his rapping career. However, as some have pointed out, joining the Witness Protection Program might be a little difficult given the very recognizable tattoos he has on his face.

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>I bet having 69 tattooed on your forehead and throat makes the Witness Protection Program kinda futile anyway.<br><br>“Excuse me, are you the rapper Tekashi 6ix9nine?”<br><br>“Oh, no, that’s a common mistake. I’m actually Eric Davis, an accountant from Omaha.”</p>— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) <a href=”https://twitter.com/TomFornelli/status/1177343174454468608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>September 26, 2019</a></blockquote> <script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

As the trial continues, only time will tell who else Tekashi includes in his confessional, and if he can still have a career after jail.

We Are “Obsessed” With This Crying And Dancing TikTok

by

There seems to be no end to the TikTok masterpieces that leave us in a state of both laughter and confusion. The most recent to hit the top of the charts and start a viral meme is a video by TikTok user @ReeseHardy_. In the video, the teen girl is crying, for reasons unknown, while performing a dance to the song “Obsessed” by Mariah Carey.

Behind The “Obsessed” Dance

While everyone (I repeat, EVERYONE) was left in a state of confusion as to why Reese is dancing while crying, we do have some answers to the dance itself. Turns out the dance wasn’t original, but rather part of the #obsessed dance challenge that was circling on TikTok at the time. One of the most ironic parts might be the fact many of the users who have participated in the challenge, weren’t old enough to even appreciate the song when it first released in 2009. We’re not complaining about the comeback though, this song was truly iconic.

The Crying Rise To Fame

Reese Hardy’s profile on TikTok was not famous before this video spread like wildfire. Since it’s publication on July 13th, the video has gained more than 1.6 million likes and thousands of comments. What made it grow even faster was the video’s share on the twitter account, “Cursed Tik Toks.” The tweet received over 134k likes and almost 30,000 retweets. More importantly, it started a meme caption contest for this hilarious yet uncomfortable video. The following are some of the best responses.

Struggling At The Club

We’ve all had at least one night out when we forced ourselves through the exhaustion to support our friends, yet would do just about anything to be back at home in the comfort of our beds.

Simba’s Sobbing Pride

In perfect timing with the recent release of The Lion King remake, this caption almost makes us feel guilty for laughing out loud at the poor cub’s loss.

Our Monday Morning Ritual

Self explanatory.

Apology Unaccepted

Reese Hardy had zero intention of getting all the attention for this video. In fact, she apologized on her TikTok account for her crying and dancing display, saying “this started as a joke, i’m sorry guys.” Regardless, we’re glad she provided us the laughs this summer.

“Hot Girl Summer” Is The Unapologetic Meme We Needed

by

With one of the worst heat waves in history due to global warming and a slew of political and social issues happening world wide, it’s reasonable to want summer 2019 to end ASAP. However, instead of getting down in the dumps about the heat, Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion came up with meme we NEEDED to get by this summer, “Hot Girl Summer.”

The Unapologetic Energy We Needed

While this seems like a pretty basic tweet, there’s a much deeper meaning that Megan shared with The Root. And yes, this catchphrase includes other genders too!

“It’s just basically about women — and men — just being unapologetically them, just having a good-a** time, hyping up your friends, doing you, not giving a damn about what nobody got to say about it.”

A Pop Culture Sensation

The theme of “Hot Girl Summer” took the pop culture world by storm. On Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat, people have been posting their brightest and funkiest outfits, sharing their biggest accomplishments, snapping pics from their vacations or even from the comforts of their own homes. Some celebrities like Miley Cyrus have even joined in with this post of her dancing in her house, doing her thang shamelessly.

Even major brands got in on the fun with their own tweets referring to the self-uplifting catchphrase.

Others have been coining the phrase as a hilarious expectations versus reality meme. While all of us would love to look flawless and strut in confidence, the heat often just causes a sweaty result.

“Hot Girl Summer” Anthems

As a rapper, it only made sense that Megan decided her term was deserving of musical accompaniment. She created the “Hot Girl Summer” playlist on Spotify, which to date already has more than 124,000 followers. The playlist features songs by Megan Thee Stallion, along with other powerhouse hip hop and R&B artists, like Rihanna, Beyoncé, Future, and Cardi B. Additionally, Megan said she plans to release an anthem later this summer to make us all really feel the vibes.

A Trademark In The Works

“Hot Girl Summer” took off so quickly, with thousands of shares, likes, and hashtag posts, that Megan has actually decided to try and trademark the term. She filed on July 10 with the hopes of selling t-shirts, athletic apparel, and other merchandise with the term.

The best part about the phrase is that it focuses on living your best life and being comfortable in your own skin. So while negative things might be happening in our lives, it’s important to stand tall and be proud of ourselves this summer, no regrets!
