“I HATE THAT MF” Aries Spears Explains Why He Hates 6ix9ine “He Makes Me Mad When He Uses N-Word!”
Aries Spears Calls Out Tekashi 6ix9ine — “I Hate That MF”
Comedian Aries Spears recently went on record condemning Tekashi 6ix9ine — not just for his music or reputation, but for something Spears views as deeply disrespectful: the rapper’s frequent use of the “N-word.” In an interview with VladTV, Spears didn’t mince words.
“He makes me mad when he uses N-word!” Spears said bluntly.
He went on to label 6ix9ine a “talking snitch” whose music is “garbage,” criticizing the rapper’s arrogant persona and controversial history.
Why the Reaction — Not Just About Music
Spears’s anger isn’t rooted in stylistic disagreements — but in deeper cultural and social issues. As a Black comedian from Brooklyn, Spears is intimately aware of the historical weight and responsibility behind certain words. 6ix9ine’s repeated use of the slur — despite not being Black — strikes Spears as disrespectful, offensive, and tone-deaf.
In that cultural context, slurs are not mere “words” — they’re tied to history, identity, pain, and collective memory. Spears argues that misuse of those words by people outside the community — especially in a boastful, public way — isn’t just irresponsible: it’s damaging. By publicly calling out 6ix9ine, Spears is making a broader statement about respect and accountability in hip-hop.
Spears also touched on 6ix9ine’s contentious public image — from past legal issues, gang affiliation, to what many view as his “snitch” reputation — all of which amplify the offense in Spears’s eyes.
The Broader Impact: Conversations on Race, Identity, and Hip-Hop Culture
This moment between Spears and 6ix9ine taps into larger ongoing debates within music and pop culture:
-
Who has the right to say what? When someone outside a historically marginalized group uses slurs tied to that group, even if casually or for “artistic expression,” some argue it perpetuates harm rather than expression.
-
Responsibility vs. shock value. In an age where “being controversial” can boost clout or attention, Spears’s criticism challenges the idea that fame excuses disrespect.
-
Legacy vs. trends. Many older artists and figures in hip-hop culture — including Spears — view rap’s roots as built on authenticity, respect, and communal experience. They sometimes see younger trends (including those of 6ix9ine) as lacking that foundation.
By speaking up, Spears isn’t only calling out a single artist. He’s inviting a larger cultural reckoning: what does respect look like in modern hip-hop, and what lines are non-negotiable?
What This Means for 6ix9ine — and for Fans
For 6ix9ine, Spears’s remarks represent a high-profile, public rebuke from someone rooted in the same culture. While 6ix9ine has long been polarizing — for his style, his image, his controversies — this strikes at a core value for many: respect for community, language, and history.
For fans and fellow artists, this may spark more introspection. Is boundary-pushing worth the cost of cultural insensitivity? Can popularity coexist with respect? Spears seems to think the answer is no — especially when certain truths are involved.
