Last Friday Tekashi released his first single since being home, Gooba.
Today, he took to Instagram to blast Billboard magazine, Ariana and Justin Bieber.
Having the #1 song on the Billboard charts is a big deal to most artists and in this case it is a big deal to Tekashi.
Labels receive daily forecasts about their standing on the chart. On Thursday the standings was as follows: #1 Doja Cat, #2 Tekashi, #3 The Weekend, #4 Megan Thee Stallion and #5 Ariana Grande/Justin Bieber with Stuck On You.
Thursday night Stuck on You did a last minute promotion that allowed the song to jump from 5th place to 1st--Tekashi remained in 2nd place.
He is mad because in short, he feels like it's cheating; it looks to him like Billboard chart position can be bought.
Does Tekashi have a right to be mad or is it just business? He barely received radio airplay on the song and he is not signed to a major record label so he doesn't have a team to "push" his song.
