Tekashi 6ix9ine is a Brooklyn native, but his mother is a Mexican immigrant who came to the country when he was a child. The rainbow colored hair rapper visited his family in Mexico for the first time.
He posted an emotional video to Instagram on Thursday, August 30th that shows him embracing a family member during the reunion.
“I never met my family before…. This was so crazyyyyyy …. My first time in Mexico this shit broke my heart connecting with family I never seen before I’ve only spoken to,” 6ix9ine says in the video. “[Me] being younger not understanding why my Mom left her country to make a better future for us. THIS right here hits home. ARIBA MI PINCHE RAZA TE AMO,” he continues.
At the end of the first video 69 is seen giving stacks to one of his relatives and it just got everyone wishing we were his cousin.
In another IG video, the “GUMMO” rapper heads to a school to giveaway more cash. This time, he passes out money to kids. He says the school is one his mother went to years ago.
“I went to my mom school where she attended 45 years ago AND IT FELT AMAZING GIVING HOPE TO THESE KIDS,” Tekashi writes in the caption for the post. “Even if they didn’t really care for what I said it felt so gooooooood seeing them happy and knowing that there’s always a way out and a way through! TE AMOOOOOO MEXICOOOOO.”
