Daniel Hernandez, better known by his stage name of rapper 69, released his inaugural post-incarceration music video for “Bori” on Friday. The clip depicts Daniel in various Cuban communities giving away American money as well as working fields and kissing women; additionally it includes footage of his beating at a gym earlier this month.

Daniel Hernandez (commonly referred to by various stylizations, including 6ix9ine), was a Brooklyn native who began writing songs as a teenager. Over time he went by various aliases including Wallah Dan, Danny Loaf and Tekashi69 before finally adopting 6ix9ine in 2017. 6ix9ine quickly rose to fame during the early 2010s due to his aggressive, full-throated style of rapping.
6ix9ine has continued his musical pursuits despite his imprisonment. The rainbow-haired rapper has returned to the studio, working on his upcoming album. A recent video shows how 6ix9ine managed to shoot videos for his latest hits while under house arrest; these include records such as ‘GOOBA’, ‘Trollz’ and his Spanish single ‘Bori’.
Although this video doesn’t directly address what happened at a Florida gym where “Gooba” rapper was attacked, it does show visuals of his injuries and shows clips of him giving away American money in Cuban communities and enjoying himself while swimming and relaxing on vacation in Florida.
Sixix9ine was not able to stay away from the camera for long; only hours after his release from house arrest, 6ix9ine released another video entitled ‘PUNANI.’ As expected of an artist who just recently served two years in prison, this one features T69 with several of his on-set buddies driving luxury vehicles around Brooklyn (such as two colorful Lambos, an orange McLaren and yellow Dodge Charger), flashing cash and showing off hot women while engaging in typical gangbanger antics.

Daniel Hernandez, commonly referred to by his stage name 6ix9ine on social media platforms such as Instagram and Vine, has gained immense online fame through collaborating with top artists like Nicki Minaj. Additionally, 6ix9ine was recently involved in an intense feud with fellow Brooklyn rapper Casanova.
He has combined gangsta rap and pop culture in his music. However, some have accused him of using his public persona to promote violence, leading to numerous legal disputes with various entities and people. At present, he faces criminal charges of racketeering, illegal firearm possession and aiding a gangster.
Tekashi 6ix9ine’s music video for “Gummo” went viral, garnering over 367 million views on YouTube. He is famous for his tattoos and controversial public persona; often finding himself embroiled in controversy and feuds with other popular artists.
In 2017, he released several singles, such as “Exodia,” “Go Crazy,” and “Oweee,” before breaking out onto mainstream radar with his collaboration with Nicki Minaj on their song. 2019 marked his return with his album release of FEFE. Today he boasts over 15 million followers on Instagram alone!
As his music became increasingly popular, Danny embraced his public persona by donning extravagant outfits and inking more tattoos – especially his “69” tattoos which covered both arms like leopard spots. These tattoos served as symbols for Nine Trey Gangsters prison subset of Bloods street gang that Danny closely affiliated himself with.
Popular opinion believed he was an offensive individual, yet his songwriting abilities and following created an impressive phenomenon that continues today. He became one of many new generation of gangsta rappers that has arisen since.
By 2017, he had evolved into a full-fledged gangster in Brooklyn. Allegations against him include drug dealing and money laundering activities as well as extortion and murder conspiracy; cooperating with federal investigators but has yet to be arrested; his lawyers deny all gangster allegations and filed a motion with a court for dismissal of lawsuits against him; however, no decision has yet been rendered on their motion by a judge.
