‘Hot 97’ radio personality Ebro Darden denies a TMZ report which stated that the station will not play Tekashi 6ix9ine’s music once, and if, he’s released from prison.
Earlier today, the outlet published a report stating that a Hot 97 executive said the station has never really been fans of Tekashi 6ix9ine, and that they will not play his music upon his release. Shortly after the report was published, Ebro responded.
“All execs @HOT97 deny speaking to anyone @TMZ,” Ebro wrote in a tweet, “So this means that Tekashi marketing machine is revving up to rally his on-line #Bots and drive stories.”
