Mexico City, Mexico-.The Cuban reggaeton player Lenier Mesa and the American rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, they premiered their second song together. This is “Wapae”, a video that Tekashi recorded in Uganda Africa.
The New York singer wrote on his networks that he flew 22 hours to record the clip and what he experienced there had been inspiring. The artist filmed his audiovisual in a foster home for children without filial protection, who appear singing and dancing in the video.
As usual Tekashi gave away hundred dollar bills to the people he ran into and donated money to the orphanage.
The theme, where Ángel Dior and Bulin 47 also participate, barely an hour after its premiere already has 358,198 views and uses African rhythms mixed with Latin ones.
Living legend
The song “Living Legend” was the first collaboration of the Cuban with the controversial rapper. The theme was written by Tekashi and tells his life story and how difficult his childhood was and the poverty he suffered. How does Lenier arrive at this topic?
According to what they both told on the television program “El gordo y la Flanca” they were introduced by a mutual friend, who is very supportive of the island’s music.
“I told our mutual friend that I don’t sing like Lenier. He really sings, he sounds like that without the machine, and when I saw him sing live, in front of me I knew it. He is a very talented person,” Tekashi assured.
Previously, the New Yorker knew Lenier’s work, and had even dedicated the song “Tell me how I pay you” to his mother, written by the Cuban.
The video was filmed in the municipality of Viñales in Pinar del Río. In that town, the rapper gave money, as he usually does, to the residents. Everything indicates that both have cultivated a friendly relationship, which is why they collaborate again musically.
The other side of Tekashi
Daniel Hernández, known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, was released from prison in 2021 after being prosecuted for a series of violent crimes.
The rapper pleaded guilty to racketeering, firearms possession and drug trafficking charges related to several shootings and assaults in New York City. His sentence was five years (he served less than two inmates) thanks to his reporting on his former associates in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.
Previously, in 2015, the author of “Gooba” pleaded guilty to one count of felony sexual abuse of minors. Charges were filed against Hernandez for having sexual contact with a child under 13 when he was 18. In addition, he distributed videos of the crime online.
