Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Spotify was hacked with pictures of penises and references to rival rappers.
The Gummo rapper currently has the cover artwork for his 2020 album TattleTales as his profile image on the streaming platform, with a colourful cartoon version of himself used as the cover image.
However, over the weekend, this was replaced by an explicit picture of male genitalia by an unknown hacker.
His bio was also changed to read: ‘I grew up always wanting to be like Trippie Redd and lil durk I’d let them hit my girl and my mom. My mom p***y stank I came from the sewer. Wack 100 my boyfriend and he secretly crip.’
6ix9ine has had feuds with fellow rappers Trippie Redd and Lil Durk.
As fans of the rapper clicked on his profile to stream his music, they were rather taken aback by the new profile picture, with comedian ThatDudeMcfly tweeting: ‘Whatever you do, don’t look at Tekashi’s profile picture on Spotify rn lmao.’
Prior to the explicit pictures, Tekashi’s profile picture was edited to feature the star’s face Photoshopped onto the body of a woman morphing into a rat on the cover of an Animorphs book.
His bio was also edited to read: ‘Trippie is my idol Tr3yway.’

Tekashi’s Spotify, which has 9.1million monthly listeners has since returned to normal, but the hacker responsible has not been identified.
The rapper, real name Daniel Hernandez, was released from prison in April 2020 after serving 17 months of a two year prison sentence after being found guilty of racketeering charges.
The 25-year-old was given compassionate release due to the Covid-19 pandemic as someone with asthma, and had been given a lighter sentence after cooperating with the US attorney’s office by testifying against other gang members.

Since his release, Tekashi has feuded with Lil Nas X, Meek Mill and PewDiePie.
Earlier this year, he also found himself being sued for allegedly copying his track Gooba from a track by producer duo Beat Demons called Regular.
Tekashi has since released the singles Punani and Zaza.
