Tekashi 6ix9ine is facing intense criticism online after telling guests at a gender-reveal party, reportedly in front of livestream cameras, that he would have urged his girlfriend, Aliday Alter, to have an abortion if their unborn baby had been a girl. The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, made the remarks during the event, which was filmed and shared by TMZ, where the couple ultimately discovered they were expecting a boy.
The backlash centres not only on what Tekashi 6ix9ine said in that moment, but on who he is and what his public record already contains. Alter announced her pregnancy last month on Instagram, posting a bump photo with the caption, 'My world is about to change.'
