It appears Kanye West and 6ix9ine have developed somewhat of a friendship—a friendship Chuck D finds confusing.
While at LAX this weekend, the legendary rapper spoke to TMZ about the recent drive-by shooting that involved 'Ye, 6ix9ine, and Nicki Minaj. The incident reportedly went down Thursday night outside a Beverly Hills mansion, where the rappers were filming a music video. Though there were no reported injuries, surveillance footage obtained by TMZ underscored the gravity of the situation.
Chuck D vaguely referenced 6ix9ine's past legal troubles, and advised the "FEFE" rapper to make better choices; and he could start by surrounding himself with people who set good examples. Chuck D suggested Kanye was not one of these people.
"What is an older person hanging with a younger person anyway? Either you help the younger person, or you just gotta stay outta that," Chuck D told TMZ. "[...] It ain't the kid's fault. When you're the older person and you can't even guide a younger person or you don't even have the wisdom to have them pick up on it, then you've just got to stay out of that."
