Controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine told streamers he would opt for an abortion if his unborn child turned out to be a girl during a combined birthday and gender reveal celebration. The statement came on May 8, 2026, his 30th birthday, while the event was streaming live on Kick with streamers Adin Ross, N3on, and others in attendance in Miami. 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, made the comment in response to a question about the baby’s gender. His partner, Aliday Alter, was present and appeared visibly displeased. The gender reveals later confirmed the couple is expecting a boy, prompting celebrations from the rapper and guests.
The remark occurred amid casual conversation on the live stream before the formal reveal. 6ix9ine stated words to the effect of preferring a boy and saying if it was not a boy then it would be a straight abortion. Streamers present reacted with visible shock. Clips from the party quickly spread across X, Instagram, and TikTok, drawing widespread attention. The full event featured colorful decorations, family, friends, and a festive atmosphere typical of such milestones.
Hernandez has a long history of provocative public statements that generate significant online engagement. Born on May 8, 1996, in New York City, he rose to fame with hits like “Gummo” but became equally known for legal troubles, including a 2018 racketeering case where he cooperated with authorities, multiple prison terms, and a pattern of attention-grabbing behavior. His estimated net worth stands around $1.5 to $2 million in 2026, reflecting the impact of those legal issues on his finances. Aliday Alter, a 29-year-old Cuban influencer based in Miami, announced the pregnancy in early April shortly after his release from a recent short jail stint for a probation violation.
This latest incident fits into the rapper’s established approach to personal milestones. He has spoken previously about wanting a son and framed parts of his life in dramatic, headline-seeking terms. While some observers viewed the comment as consistent with his trolling style, others criticized it as crossing into poor taste regarding family and reproductive choices. The couple proceeded with the celebration after the boy reveal, with Hernandez expressing clear joy in the outcome.
Public reactions split along familiar lines for content involving 6ix9ine. Clips accumulated hundreds of thousands of views within hours, sparking debates about fatherhood, shock value in entertainment, and the boundaries of livestreamed personal events. Hernandez has not issued a follow-up statement clarifying the remark as the story continues to circulate. The episode underscores how his personal life remains tightly intertwined with his public persona, where controversy often drives visibility.
