6ix9ine thinks that Young Thug is trying to copy his style with his new hairstyle.
Thug debuted his new hairstyle at this year’s Coachella when he took to the stage with rainbow-colored braids. As you can imagine, 6ix9ine, who’s been vocal about his issues with Thug for a while, took offense to the rapper’s hair — especially since he had rainbow hair first.
6ix9ine posted a side-by-side comparison of his hair and Thug’s rainbow hair on Instagram, with a clip from the former’s VladTV interview when he said he “stole that shit.” In the caption for the post, 6ix9ine referred to Thug as an N-word version of him.

Of course, that wasn’t 6ix9ine’s only jab at Thug. He also posted Thugger on his Instagram Stories, writing, “U NOT ME GANG. Bro thought this was tuff.”
6ix9ine also dedicated an Instagram post to his opp, featuring someone filming him getting ready for Coachella by putting on a dress similar to what Thug wore on the cover of his 2016 album Jeffery. Joking that it’s cool when Thug dresses like him but not the other way around, 6ix9ine added pictures of Thug’s wild outfits and poses from over the years to the video.
6ix9ine’s been hot on Thug’s heels ever since an interrogation tape featuring the latter surfaced last year. Since he’s been called a “snitch” for cooperating with authorities against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods in a federal racketeering case, 6ix9ine took offense to the fact that nobody kept the same energy with Thug, who seemed to mention multiple names in his own interrogation.
“Why everybody so quiet?" 6ix9ine asked, tagging Lil Baby, Future, and 21 Savage. "When all the songs coming out calling ya man Spider a rat?"
"Where all the energy from the rap community?" he continued. "Y'all waiting and hoping this to blow over? Hoping and praying people forget?"
Months later, 6ix9ine trolled Young Thug for being present during his walkout with Jake Paul at the latter’s Netflix-hosted boxing match against Anthony Joshua. 6ix9ine tagged Thug in a post thanking him for being present while he performed as Paul walked to the ring.
In another attack on Thug days later, 6ix9ine critiqued the “Fuck The Streets” movement that Young Thug and 21 Savage were pushing because he believed it to be a way for rappers to start making music with Gunna again.
While on the One Night with Steiny podcast, 6ix9ine said of Thug and Savage, "They realize that Gunna doesn't need them, right? Gunna is going to continue to prevail, continue to succeed, without them," he said. "The fans see it, and you know what the fans say? The fans start turning their back ... People start picking sides. It's like the whole industry is picking and choosing."
"Now, what they doing is saying, 'Listen, if we create a movement saying fuck the streets, it's going to make it okay. It's like a jail free card,’” 6ix9ine continued. “It's saying, 'Hey, guys. We’re only letting Gunna in because, fuck, the streets is dead!’ So, they are trying to make it a loophole ... 'We gotta create a movement where we can confuse the fans.'"
