Obasi Jackson, the brother of the late Brooklyn drill star Pop Smoke, sparked discussion on December 1 after posting a candid social media clip addressing Pop Smoke’s former rival, Tekashi 6ix9ine.
In the video, Jackson expressed a surprising willingness to collaborate with the controversial rapper on an upcoming livestream, emphasizing respect for 6ix9ine’s influence and strategic approach to the music industry despite their shared history of tension.
“Listen, I don’t know about the beef that my brother and 6ix9ine had,” Obasi began, acknowledging the long-rumored friction between the two New York artists. “But, yo 6ix9ine, fuck with a n***a. Come on my stream, bro. I want to talk with you bro.”
From the outset, Jackson framed the conversation as one of engagement rather than conflict, signaling a desire to explore dialogue over drama.
He praised 6ix9ine’s command over digital culture, noting the rapper’s ability to dominate online spaces and capture public attention. “You got so much— I know you got mad knowledge, bro,” Jackson said. “You carry the internet, my guy, I’m sorry. I’ve been saying this since day one. 6ix9ine got the internet on lock.”

Jackson emphasized that 6ix9ine’s success is calculated, not coincidental. “He’s smart, bro. He knows what he’s doing. Everything is not just a coincidence. This shit is… strategic. It’s thought out.”
Obasi also criticized the ways critics have attempted to minimize 6ix9ine’s impact.
“They really trying to diminish your character. They really tryna minimize who you are, for real,” he said, highlighting the rapper’s resilience amid legal battles and industry backlash. “You really wasn’t dealt the greatest hand, and you still alive, gang. 6ix9ine’s come-up and comeback gotta be studied, gang.”
Jackson concluded with a clear call to action, underscoring his intent to bridge past conflicts and amplify conversation: “Gotta get him on the stream.”
The clip stands out as a rare moment of recognition from Pop Smoke’s family. It blends respect with reflection on 6ix9ine’s polarizing presence.
By focusing on the rapper’s strategic mind and cultural influence, Obasi reframed a narrative that has often been contentious. This signals a potential collaboration that could bring a fresh perspective to their shared Brooklyn legacy.
