In a move that has sparked widespread debate, the controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has been immortalized in bronze in Cuba. The statue, which depicts the musician shirtless and holding wads of cash, has been placed on display on a street corner in Havana, causing quite a stir among locals and tourists alike.
The statue’s commissioning by an anonymous client has only added to the intrigue surrounding the artwork. Some have praised the statue as a bold statement of support for 6ix9ine, while others have condemned it as an inappropriate glorification of a musician known for his controversial behavior.
The choice of Cuba as the location for this tribute is particularly intriguing, considering 6ix9ine’s connections to the island. It’s a physical manifestation of his impact, standing defiantly in a place that has witnessed his acts of generosity.
