Controversial Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Accepts Jesus Christ At Peace Conference
Tekashi 6ix9ine Accepts Jesus Christ At Peace Conference
Known for his vulgar lyrics and violent tendencies, New York rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine is now a brand new person in Christ! At least the seed has been sown!
The 22-year-old rapper, attended a peace conference in a Brooklyn church last week and gave his heart to Jesus Christ
Born Daniel Hernandez, Tekashi 6ix9ine has made a name for himself in the mainstream music industry. From the hood in Bushwick, Brooklyn, Tekashi was forced to grow up quickly after his father was brutally murdered. He initially began drug slinging with his older brother and then ventured into music.
Idolized as an icon by Gen Zers, Tekashi is seemingly trying to change his unruly ways. Bishop Lamor M. Whitehead invited the young rapper as a guest of honor at “The Peace Conference: ‘Stop The Violence” on Tuesday that was held at the Leaders of Tomorrow Brooklyn Ministry. There, he was presented with awards from the New York state Senate and state Assembly for his “outstanding” community service.

During the conference, sergeants and police officers from different Brooklyn districts were invited on stage and one by one they all encouraged Tekashi to pursue peace and speak out against gun violence.
“The New Chapter!! The Bishop And @6ix9ine !! He Came To The Church For Prayer And Gave Is [sic] Life To Jesus!” Whitehead shared on Facebook after the event. “Yes @6ix9ine Accepted Jesus Christ As His Lord And Savior! Let’s Celebrate @6ix9ine As We Honor Him !! PEACE CONFERENCE!!! STOP THE VIOLENCE!!”
When asked to talk at the conference, Tekashi said:
“I’ve performed around 100,000 people and I’ve never felt this type of nervous.”
He couldn’t say much but noticeably took every word in and applauded most of what the bishop said to and about him.
