Ex-NFL player Brandon Marshall exposes racist messages sent by rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine
Brandon Marshall took to social media to expose messages sent by rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine. The former NFL wide receiver posted this message he received from the rapper, including his thoughts about his career.
The profanity ridden message reads:
"Yo to you the and the dude in the red shirt that interviewed Steve not the guy with the dreads. Suck my f*cking dick. Steve didn't know ya was belitting him and laughing at him not with him but I peeped. Suck my d*ck that's what u are where u at right now holding on to something u will never have again a career."
The rapper also said Marshall lied about Fox Sports 1 wanting him on after he retired and commented on his dreads:
"Lying about FS1 wanting u on TV after you retired ur a f*cking bum. Nobody even knows u or bring u up when they talk football u just another n*gga who made it to the league," "U should of f*cking cut ya nast a$$ dreads u would been on TV. No u just on YouTube."
The disgusting comments from Tekashi 6ix9ine are in response to an interview Marshall and former NFL running back LeSean McCoy conducted with internet personality SteveWillDoIt. SteveWillDoIt stated that he will never again work with the rapper due to the harassment he received afterwards.
He was interviewed about his involvement with helping 6ix9ine approach fellow rapper Lil Durk's doppelganger. After admitting that what he did was a major error, McCoy instructed the celebrity to hold up his fist.

Although the YouTuber was perplexed, he did it nonetheless but wanted to know the meaning of the raised fist. Following a few laughs, he was told that he was symbolizing black power.
