The rapper shared an old video of himself with an interviewer whom he claimed later wrote an article on why he should not be paid one million for a verse. Yung6ix claimed he considered the interviewer a friend at the time.
Explaining further, Yung6ix used the opportunity to brag about his achievements. He said that he now collects $15,000 (N5.7m) for a verse.
He wrote: “This hit differently, can’t remember doing this interview but few years ago this same interviewer wrote a full article of why I shouldn’t be paid 1 million for a verse, so disappointed I may have considered him a friend at that time. Anyways it’s $15,000 dollars for a 16 now.”
