The 6ix9ine case is just a celebrity throwing a tantrum because his song didn't perform as well as he had hoped. Billboard explained its calculations and his song "Gooba", a typical "fuck the haters" number, simply didn't measure up to the competition. https://pitchfork.com/news/billboard-responds-to-tekashi-6ix9ines-corruption-claim-after-new-song-debuts-at-no-3/ https://pitchfork.com/news/billboard-responds-to-tekashi-6ix... 6ix9ine's songs are not very radio-friendly, and from a quality standpoint, have been universally panned by critics. The fact that he was convicted of a felony (use of a child in a sexual performance) does not help his commercial appeal. On the other hand, Kazik Staszewski's "Your Pain Is Better Than Mine" is a song that criticizes Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of the largest Polish political party. It was censored by a state-run radio station. The two incidents are not comparable.

Are said critics in his target demographic, or is this just another case of old people not understanding the youth? Edit: > I think [his criminal convictions are] enough to not play his music on the radio. I agree with that.

Sex crime wasn't the half of it. He went to jail for racketeering using his music to fund violent crime, and he's only free to whine publicly about music now because he weaseled out of prison on medical release due to the pandemic. Society owes him nothing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_the_Nine_Trey_Gangsters https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_the_Nine_Trey_Gangs...

  We're talking about the commercial appeal of a rapper though, the violent crime is a plus. It's the snitching and the sex crime that actually ruin his appeal.
