6ix9ine doesn’t think Drake can be a snitch.
The controversial rapper sat down with YouTuber Trap Lore Ross to create a “snitch tier list,” according to HotNewHipHop. When Drizzy came up, Tekashi wanted to place the Toronto native in the D tier, the lowest placement in their system.
Drake's presence on the list dated back to an incident in 2009, when he reportedly gave a statement to authorities after he was robbed in Toronto.
“Now, snitching is snitching, but we talking about levels—Drake is Jewish at the end of the day, he was on Degrassi,” 6ix9ine told Ross. “So I don’t consider him a street n***a, you know what I mean? Even though he raps about all of that shit.”
When Ross asked if there can’t be Jewish gangsters, 69 laughed.
“There is, but he’s not one of them,” he laughed, adding, “Put him on the dead bottom.”
The story of the long-ago robbery goes like this: in May 2009, after Drake and his date finished eating at a restaurant in his hometown, the pair walked back to his car. Moments later, two armed men appeared, robbing the then-23-year-old rapper of $2,000 in cash, an Audemars Piguet watch, and a diamond chain Lil Wayne had gifted him.
In 2010, a New York Times profile mentioned the incident and noted Drake cooperated with the police investigation. That same year, in a GQ cover story, the For All the Dogs artist called the robbery a “set-up.”
"I knew it was a setup, because I had on a sweater and a jacket ... but when they banged on the car window with a gun and opened the door, the first thing he said was, 'Yo, run that chain,'" he explained. "They didn't rob her, and her purse was sitting right there. So I was like, 'OK, yup — you set the whole thing up.'"
The 6 God recently referenced the robbery on his Kendrick Lamar diss track, “Family Matters,” after it was speculated that Lamar first nodded to the 2009 incident on “euphoria.”
“I be at New Ho King eatin' fried rice with a dip sauce and blammy, crodie,” Kenny raps.
On "Family Matters," Drake acknowledges he got robbed for his watch: "Can't be rapping ’bout no ratting that we can't read/I mean it's true, a n***a slimеd me for my AP."
He also previously referred to the incident on the 2020 Dark Lane Demo Tapes project cut “From Florida With Love.”
