When it comes to his career Tekashi first got hot off his now hit record "Gummo". He expressed that he thinks his come up is inspirational because of all the people who have tried to block him in the music industry because he was to "controversial". Unlike most artists Tekashi wasn't backed by a label when he first got hot, speaking on how labels are confused how he was able to make hit after hit and maintain his popularity while artists they sign on their own don't take off.

A big part of his rise to fame has been because of the internet which he acknowledged in his conversation with Angie saying “I don’t need radio I have the internet”. While many may think Tekashi is in the studio all the time working on his next hit turns out that he barely goes, as he says he only goes once or twice a month but every time he goes he treats the record he's recording as if its the last one he'll ever put out. The reason for this is because after he found popularity off "Gummo", people were calling him a one hit wonder. When people criticized him for always screaming on songs he went off and made "Gotti" and "FEFE" both of which he sings on. 6ix9ine has found a way to combat the hate he has received online and always has come out on top with a hit.

Speaking about his family Tekashi got a bit choked up because he revealed that they day his father died he had asked him to go to the store with him but unfortunately he had said no, and then his father never came home. He hates himself for that and revealed that he never really had family only having an older brother and his mother.

Being the biggest troll online comes with a lot of hate and Tekashi feels that the media is always trying to butcher him instead of seeing him for who he really is, but at the same time, he thrives off the attention from the media. His interview with The Breakfast Club is now their second most viewed Interview ever, only two million views behind Birdman. Reflecting on the interview he felt that he was mistreated and portrayed because there are other rappers out there who had cases when they were younger and weren't bashed the way he was by the media.
