Rapper Tekashi6ix9inehas sensationally suggested that the current hardships facing Drake and Lil Durk are not merely bad luck, but rather a form of 'divine intervention'.
In a wide-ranging6ix9ine VladTV interview, he says Drake and Lil Durk were 'punished by God', suggesting thatDrake's public backlashand Durk's ongoing legal troubles are examples of 'divine intervention' following their decision to diss him on the 2020 hit song'Laugh Now Cry Later'.
The comments have sparked debate across hip-hop circles, with some fans dismissing the theory as another attention-grabbing statement from 6ix9ine, while others have pointed to the irony surrounding the song's title and the challenges both artists have faced in recent years.
6ix9inereflected on the changing public perception of Drake and the legal situation surrounding Lil Durk. The New York rapper argued that the two artists' current circumstances are connected to their past criticism of him.
'I want to end with this,' 6ix9ine said during the conversation. 'God has showed me that he's real.'
He went on to explain that he never expected Drake to experience the level of criticism and ridicule that has emerged over the past year. According to 6ix9ine, Drake once appeared untouchable in the eyes of both fans and the music industry.
The rapper described Drake as one of the most universally loved figures in entertainment and admitted he was surprised by the intensity of the backlash that followed the Canadian superstar's highly publicised feud withKendrick Lamar.

Drake has faced increased scrutiny since his battle with Kendrick Lamar escalated in 2024. The feud produced several headline-grabbing diss tracks and dominated conversations across social media and the music industry.
One moment that stood out to 6ix9ine was Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance, in which the Compton rapper referenced Drake during one of the year's most-watched events.
