NEW YORK, NY – By now, anyone paying attention to the rap news cycle knows one of Tekashi 6ix9ine’s favorite hobbies is trolling. From bait- ing his haters to clowning in- dustry figures such as Snoop Dogg and Meek Mill, his so- cial media antics appear to know no bounds.
For 6ix9ine’s latest trick, he decided to act like he was assaulted in the streets of New York where he continues to roam free after being released from house arrest. On Tuesday (August 11), the polarizing Brooklynite shared an Insta-

But Then Reveals Truth
Will Smith and Morgan Cooper are teaming to adapt the latter's dramatic reimagin- ing of the former's beloved NBC comedy The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Bel-Air is described as a dramatic take on the beloved '90s comedy that catapulted Smith to stardom over six seasons starring as the street- smart kid who moved from West Philly to the tony Los An- geles neighborhood. With a reimagined vision, Bel-Air will dive deeper into the inherent conflicts, emotions and biases of what it means to be a Black man in America today, while still delivering the swagger and fun nods to the original show.

But ac- cording to The Shade Room, he plans to take legal action and sue the company for $1.5 billion, the estimated worth of the long-running show.

worth.
“From the platforms he
provides for other entertain- ers, the jobs he creates for Black youth, the time he gives to mentoring incarcerated men
and women, to the money he gives back and puts into com- munities, homelessness, and people less fortunate. He is constantly evolving both spiri- tually and mentally, as well as, taking action in learning, edu- cation and bridging the gap within the Jewish and African American communities, so that it will allow us to build re- lationships, work together and learn from each other in order to move forward in equality.”
