Public Enemy‘s Chuck D is dropping some serious opinions. The hip-hop veteran has reacted to the near-death shooting at Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s music video and suggested he should reconsider who he keeps around him – notably Kanye West.
In Chuck’s opinion, Yeeezy doesn’t bring anything to the table wisdom-wise by being around 6ix9ine.
“[Why] is an older person hanging with a younger person anyway? You either help the younger person or you stay out of that. I don’t think people should use the culture to drag the everyday disfunctionality into it. You’ve got millions in prison right now who are looking at a situation like that kid or whoever and saying, ‘D*mn, if I only had a chance. I’m here locked down because of some dumb sh*t I did. You always gotta keep in mind who is on that other side, who don’t have those opportunities – it’s not the kid’s fault. It’s when you’re an older person and you can’t even guide a younger person or you don’t even have the wisdom to have them pick up on it. You’ve got to stay out of that. What is a 40-year-old person hanging with a 20-year-old person anyway?” (TMZ)
Yesterday, rap star 50 Cent reacted to the near-death shooting.

The same day, reports emerged about the attack happening at Tek’s rented Beverly Hills mansion with Kanye present but Nicki Minaj not yet there.
Cops say at 10:25 PM they got a “shots fired” call and raced to the home. Someone on set tells us there were approximately 8 shots fired. No one was hit. It appeared to be a drive-by. At least one bullet went through a bedroom window. We are told Kanye was there but Nicki had not arrived. Kanye immediately left. We’re told production was halted and the crew was shaken up. (TMZ)
On Thursday, buzz developed about the trio linking up for a secret music video shoot.
6ix9ine is rolling around Los Angeles with some pretty heavy security, and we’ve learned he’s actually on his way to shoot a music video with Kanye West and Nicki Minaj. Sources close to production tell us Tekashi, Ye and Minaj will be meeting Thursday in Los Angeles. The concept and song for the video is currently unclear, but we’re told everyone is stoked that all three hip-hop stars will be united. (The Blast)
