Tekashi 6ix9ine and XXXTentacion got off to a rocky start, but they became friends through their mutual pal DJ Akademiks.

AK's been hanging out with 6ix9ine during his house arrest and the toxic twosome revealed the last DM XXX set to 6ix9ine before he was gunned down in 2018.

One message read, "Yo, be safe, OK? Never let your guard down."  The other, "When you get out, move smarter, more patient and more relaxed."

6ix9ine then explained how he incorporated that advice into his lifestyle.

"So, X was looking out for me," Tekashi screamed. "Telling me, 'Yo, move smarter.' Matter fact, X said this, 'Don't let your guard down.' Same thing with Pop Smoke, Nipsey Hussle. You don't move with security, you're pussy. You need to change the f*ckin’ game. If you with security doesn't make you pussy. It makes you smart. Because if X, who's my friend, woulda had security, we would've had a legend in the making still living."
