It looks like 6ix9ine has accomplished everything he wanted to so far since making his official return to social media and the music scene. The rapper has been extremely active online ever since he made his comeback a few weeks ago, starting beef with practically everyone imaginable while his new single, “GOOBA,” racked up numbers and broke records. Now, he’s taking a bit of a breather from social media, at least until he drops his follow-up to “GOOBA.” On Sunday (May 17th), right before (although we were pretty certain that wasn’t going to happen anyway), 6ix9ine announced that he’ll be taking a break from Instagram, only to return once his new music video (and, presumably, a new single to go with it) drops this Friday, May 22nd at 3:00pm EST.
“I proved I’m the king of Instagram,” he wrote in the caption. “AND I TOOK BACK THE KING OF NEW YORK. I proved that to you with numbers. The internet was dead without me.”

So, he decided that , he’d give his fans a new video. It appears as though he succeeded in that endeavour, so buckle up for some new 6ix9ine coming your way this Friday.
