6ix9ine is accusing Young Thug of ripping off his style after the Atlanta rapper debuted his own rainbow-inspired look at Coachella.
On Sunday night, April 12, the "Trimski" rapper hit the stage at Coachella with multicolored locks as he performed his hits. Following Thug's set, the New York rapper took to Instagram and criticized him for swiping his steez. He posted side-by-side photos of himself and Thugger along with a clip of him saying he "stole that s**t" during a DJ Vlad interview.
“U NOT ME GANG. Bro thought this was tuff," 6ix9ine wrote in his Instagram Story.
6ix9ine didn't stop there. The "Gummo" rapper decided to fight fire with fire by attempting to jock Thug's past look from the album cover of his 2016 LP Jeffery. In a separate video, you can see 6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez, put on a light blue dress and an oversized women's hat to resemble Thug's controversial outfit from the album's artwork.
"Coachella im on my way," he wrote in the caption.
6ix9ine has been a sharp critic of Young Thug for well over a year. After facing scrutiny for snitching on members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloodz during his trial in 2019, the 29-year-old was livid when audio of Thug cooperating with authorities was released last year. He went off in a series of posts on social media and tagged some of Thug's close friends, including Lil Baby, Future, and 21 Savage.
“Why everybody so quiet?" 6ix9ine asked in his Instagram Stories. "When all the songs coming out calling ya man Spider a rat?"
"Where all the energy from the rap community?" he added. "Y'all waiting and hoping this to blow over? Hoping and praying people forget?"
Thugger has yet to publicly respond to 6ix9ine.
