Director Of 6ix9ine Docuseries Says Rapper Is “Truly a Horrible Human-being”
The director of new Tekashi 6ix9ine docuseries isn’t too fond of the rapper and actually had a few negative remarks to make about the rapper.
While speaking to Page Six, the director of “Supervillain: The Making of Tekashi 6ix9ine,” director Karam Gill said that the rapper is far from the struggling Brooklyn kid he once was, and is actually a calculated human-being.
“I think viewers will be shocked to realize how hyper calculated the rapper is,” Gill said. “Tekashi was someone who never did anything online on accident. Every click, word, and action online was designed with care to spark a reaction.”
While Gill has not personally met up with the rapper to make the series, he believes he has enough information from Stephen Witt’s January 2019 Rolling Stone article “Tekashi 6ix9ine: The Rise and Fall of a Hip-Hop Supervillain.”
“The public and media hates him because he is truly a horrible human being who has done terrible things,” Gill added. “And from an overall perspective, he loves to instigate and aggravate which is something that naturally sparks a reaction.”
“I never really wanted to explore Tekashi’s story specifically, and actually was hesitant about the project at first because of how he has been such a toxic individual in our culture,” Gill said. “[But] from a wider scope, I realized it’s an extremely important story that shines a light on where we are as a culture. We’re living in the era of manufactured celebrity, where people can create inauthentic online personas and rise to fame without any talent or morals. Tekashi’s story is exactly that—he’s someone who realized the power of having your own platform.”
The series is set to debut February 21.
