Bobby Shmurda addressed the topic of snitches in the music industry during the latest episode of Akademiks’ Off the Record podcast, provoking a response from 6ix9ine. During the roughly two-hour chat, Shmurda — who did a six-year bid in prison and was released in February 2021 — matter-of-factly stated snitches are all over the industry, at least from a business perspective.
“The industry’s full of snitches, bro,” he said. “You have to work with snitches inside the industry. This is not the streets. So you think that any rapper never dealt with a snitch on the business terms? … Rappers is capping […] It’s civilians in the rap game. Any given minute [they’re] unhappy, they’re gonna tell. … You have to know that, and be aware of that. That’s why I hate when people acting stupid. … You’re civilians, you’re not in the streets selling drugs, you’re paying taxes. Like, don’t be capping to these lil n-ggas. You up in the thing with security, you ain’t doing shit illegal, n-gga.”
Always willing to toss in his two cents, 6ix9ine — one of rap’s most infamous “snitches” — hopped in Akademiks’ Instagram comment section and dragged Migos into the discussion with, “I never seen migos throw Bobby on a song while he was in jail … talk about ‘real nikkas’ but as soon as he came home they wanted to ride his wave to get hot.. I didn’t owe him nothing and I sent him 40,000 in jail after stoopid.”
