Those who may have imagined that Tekashi 6ix9ine's rap moniker makes reference to the reciprocal sex act bearing the same name of a different spelling were wrong, according to the Trey Way rapper. In an Instagram post that was shared with followers on Tuesday, March 26, 6ix9ine expounded on exactly what the name signifies and fans may be surprised to discover what a virtuous meaning it encompasses.

"I never lost sense of where I came from. That’s what makes me 69. The true meaning of 69 is just because you’re right doesn’t mean I’m wrong YOU JUST HAVENT SEEN LIFE FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. Turn the 6 upside down it’s 9 but remains the same in a different perspective. Open your mind and heart," Tekashi wrote in the caption of a photograph of him hugging an elderly woman in a shanty town that he and his crew stopped through during their trip to the Dominican Republic over the weekend.

Despite the imagery going against the conceptual nature of the content that many have come to know him by, there are those who've also seen Tekashi roll up his sleeves and personally venture out among the people. Days ago he did just that in D.R., and he wrote about it in an emotional post that was comprised of a video of him handing out money to the local townspeople, who he said appeared to be experiencing a level of poverty that made him reconsider his own upbringing in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
