Episode 4 of the Infamous podcast is titled “The Tekashi 6ix9ine Show”, likely referring to how his insatiable thirst for viral fame drove him to make a spectacle of himself. This episodes dives into one of Tekashi’s most famous acts: his beef with and his cousin Tadoe. It details how it all started with Tadoe getting ticked off about a flirtatious video of his then-girlfriend, Cuban Doll, and the rainbow-haired menace. Things then escalated when Tekashi retaliated to the Chicago rappers’ threats by flying out one of Chief Keef’s baby mamas to NYC for a shopping spree. The fact that the woman exposed Keef on IG for not adequately supporting his kids and was getting pampered courtesy of Nine Trey made Tekashi’s chess move a doozy. As Martinez said, “this is what makes Tekashi 6ix9ine stand out as a troll. He isn’t just calling Chief Keef and Tadoe out on songs, hes orchestrating an entire drama.”
