Tekashi 6ix9ine Hospitalized for Overdose on Caffeine and Hydroxycut

Tekashi 6ix9ine was hospitalized for overdosing on caffeine and Hydroxycut, Gossip of the City reports.

The disgraced Brooklyn rapper told The Shade Room that he was “doing fine.” He was taking four Hydroxycut pills daily in an attempt to lose weight and combining it was caffeine, which landed him in the hospital.

TSR writes, “Tekashi also tells us that he was only taking Hydroxycut and not drugs—not just because he doesn’t do drugs—but because of his strict probation that would send him right back to the slammer if he was poppianna.”

In a 2019 interview with Complex, Tekashi 6ix9ine’s former tour DJ, DJ Blue Diamond, said that he was hellbent about getting snatched following his prison stint. “Former to that, he had gained a lot of weight. I don’t know. I guess he just … He’s a kid,” the DJ said. “He’s a young kid. He just got a lot of money overnight, so he’s probably going out and eating everything, dogging everything. So on tour I guess, I don’t know who told him he was fat. He was very concerned about losing weight, so literally he would eat salads all day and drink water and a lot of lime. A lot of lime … He wouldn’t really eat much. He would eat probably a salad for breakfast and then snack on fruits throughout the day and be in the gym.”

Blue continued: “He was really, really stressed about his weight. He was on a very, very strict diet and he was very … What’s the word I’m looking for? Determined to lose that weight and he was on it. I don’t know. I don’t know what else to say because what other way can I say other than determination because he was just not eating nothing. There was no way you could get that kid to eat a candy bar at the time. But he lost all the weight. He got really skinny.”

Tiffany Haddish’s African Grocery Store Visit Sparks Debate, Is She a Trailblazer or Out of Touch?

Tiffany Haddish is at the center of controversy after a video of her visit to a grocery store in Zimbabwe went viral. In the clip, Haddish marvels at the store’s size and the availability of items like sugar cane and organic strawberries, which she seemed to find surprising.

The reaction from viewers has been mixed. Some applauded her for challenging stereotypes about Africa, while others mocked her for acting as if the continent lacked modern amenities. One user on X quipped, “Tiffany Haddish, the first woman to discover a grocery store in Africa,” while another expressed confusion over her reaction, questioning why she seemed surprised by the store’s offerings.

In response to the backlash, Haddish took to X to clarify her intentions. She emphasized that her goal was to “demystify” Africa and encourage more Black Americans to visit.

This incident follows another controversial trip earlier this year, when Haddish visited Israel amid ongoing conflicts, a move that drew criticism for its insensitivity. Despite the recent backlash, Haddish remains active, with her latest project being the memoir I Curse You With Joy, which has garnered positive reviews for its candidness.

In an era where public figures must tread carefully, it seems Haddish’s words continue to spark debate, whether she’s on a global adventure or sharing her personal experiences.
