6ix9ine claims that Nicki Minaj wanted to keep shooting a music video after her dressing room was hit with a bullet in 2018.
“The director of production called it off,” 6ix9ine said on the Fresh & Fit podcast. “If I’m lying, I’m flying. Clip this. After the shots went off, Nicki called and was like, ‘N***a still, let’s shoot that shit.”
6ix9ine circled back moments later, claiming that Nicki “was like, ‘I don’t give a fuck.’”
In November of 2018, 6ix9ine, Minaj, and Ye’s Beverly Hills location for a video shoot was reportedly shut down after a shooting. Witnesses claimed that they heard “at least 10 shots.”
In footage of the shooting captured on surveillance cameras by TMZ, two cars pulled up to a home in Beverly Hills around 10:30 p.m. before one hooded male got out of each vehicle. After checking the area for witnesses, one of them said, “We got 30 seconds,” to which the other responded with “OK.”
The two men began firing shots over the wall after attempting to get through a locked gate.
At least one bullet went into a window at the property and hit Minaj’s dressing room — but she wasn’t there on set at the time.
Minaj didn’t let the shooting — that 6ix9ine was most likely the target of — deter her from working with the then-rainbow colored hair rapper. In 2020, the two released the track “Trollz.” A portion of the song’s proceeds and merch sales went towards the Bail Fund Inc.
"The fund provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford to pay bail while awaiting their trial,” wrote Minaj on Instagram at the time.
