Tekashi 6ix9ine Sparks Controversy With Comments at Gender Reveal Party
Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez, has stirred backlash after making controversial remarks at a recent gender reveal party for his unborn child with girlfriend Aliday Alter.
During a livestream obtained by TMZ, 6ix9ine expressed a strong preference for a male child, claiming he would urge Alter to have an abortion if the baby turned out to be a girl. The shocking comments were made in front of a crowd of streamers and attendees, leaving many visibly unsettled.
“She’s down, she’s open-minded,” 6ix9ine said, seemingly unfazed by the gravity of his words.
Fortunately, the reveal confirmed that the couple is expecting a boy, sparing Alter from a potentially tense situation. The news came as a relief, considering the public controversy that could have erupted had the outcome been different.
Alter announced her pregnancy last month on Instagram, sharing a photo of her baby bump alongside the caption, “My world is about to change.”
6ix9ine, who has two daughters from previous relationships, has a complex legal and personal history. He previously served a two-year prison sentence following a felony conviction for child exploitation, cooperating with authorities in gang-related investigations. His past has contributed to scrutiny of his parenting and family dynamics.
Public reaction to his comments has been overwhelmingly negative. Social media users criticized the rapper for outdated and insensitive views on gender and reproductive rights, sparking debates about his attitude toward parenthood. Many commentators are questioning how Alter felt about his remarks and what impact, if any, they may have on their relationship moving forward.
This incident highlights once again how celebrity announcements, particularly around personal matters like pregnancy, can quickly become flashpoints for public debate.
