Tekashi 6ix9ine causes a stir in Uganda with Wapae music video shoot
Tekashi 6ix9ine Brings Afrobeat-Inspired Track to Uganda, Handing Out $100 Bills to Local Dancers During Music Video Shoot, as Fans and Critics Debate Whether the Move is a Bold Artistic Choice or a Calculated Publicity Stunt
Controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has flown to Uganda to shoot the music video for his latest track, Wapae.
This follows a recent incident where the rapper was attacked by a group of men at a fitness center in Los Angeles. Despite the setback, Tekashi has bounced back and is focusing on his music once again.
In a video posted on his Instagram page, the rapper can be seen handing out new $100 bills to some Ugandan dancers. While some fans are excited about his first visit to Africa and choice of Uganda, others are critical of his controversial past and legal issues, and term this a clout-chasing move.
Uganda has become a go-to destination for international artists looking to create global music videos. “Unforgettable” by Swaelee and French Montana is just one example of a mega-hit that was filmed in Uganda, featuring local dancers and showcasing the country’s stunning scenery.
Regardless of the controversy, Tekashi’s music video shoot in Uganda is expected to garner attention from his fans and music enthusiasts worldwide.
It remains to be seen whether the rapper’s latest project will be successful, but one thing is for sure – the spotlight will be on him and Uganda as the music video is released
