Teka$hi 69 survived his trash talking trip out west.

"A lot of people feel some type of way when I say I'm the king of New York. I feel you. But if I wasn't the king of New York don't you think somebody would have stopped me by now? Don't you think somebody would have put an end to that?" 69 wonders. "If I wasn't the King of New York, y'all wouldn't pay me no mind. If I wasn't the King of New York, y'all would be like 'Just let that fucking clown talk, that niggas irrelevant.'" 

69's bold boasts come amid more discussion that he's a pawn for gangsters -- likely Bloods -- who keep him protected because he's making lots of money for them.

At least one Blood isn't happy with the arrangement. Here's J-Hood's opinion on things:

They mad but they admit they cannot touch the 🤴🏻 king #tekashi69 😭😭 #24hourhiphop
