Logan Paul & various TikTok stars under fire for 6ix9ine collabs YouTube: Thomas Petrou\/Instagram: loganpaul[jwplayer 1JNGBvQE]A number of influencers, including Logan Paul and TikTok stars such as Tayler Holder and Olivia Ponton, have come under mass scrutiny for their recent video collaborations with controversial rapper 6ix9ine. With the release of his first album since being released from prison, TattleTales, 6ix9ine \u2014 otherwise known as Tekashi69 or his real name, Daniel Hernandez \u2014 has been doing what some are dubbing an \u201cinfluencer press tour.\u201d He has taken part in a funny prank video with the NELK Boys, been in multiple TikToks with the likes of the Hype House members, and was called out over his snitching by Logan Paul and Mike Majlak on the Impaulsive podcast. Since taking part in these videos, though, pretty much every influencer involved has been called out by fans and critics alike. Though NELK managed to avoid a lot of the criticism \u2014 perhaps because their demographic and expectations for their content is different \u2014 the rest have been catching serious heat. Popular internet commentator Def Noodles posted a bunch of screenshots from TikTok comments, after Tayler Holder was quoted as calling 6ix9ine \u201ca really nice guy\u201d following the rapper\u2019s videos with him and his friends.

Whether more creators try to disassociate with the shamed rapper remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
