Tekashi 6ix9ine has been frequently posting videos featuring Cocodrilin, the reptilian resident of the lake in his backyard. However, this time the creature, which is actually an alligator rather than a crocodile, managed to give the rapper quite a fright. While Tekashi was filming, the alligator suddenly leapt with its mouth open, startling him.
It's likely that the alligator, accustomed to being fed, reacted instinctively upon seeing 6ix9ine up close. Tekashi humorously captioned the Instagram video with, “Scaring my dad hahaha,” and added in the comments, “Didn’t know you could fly.”
His Cuban girlfriend, Hallel Genesis, who he won over thanks to Cocodrilin, was quick to respond. “Oh, you’re punished for life for doing that to dad; instead of 69, you almost left him at 68,” she joked in the comments.
Many of Tekashi’s Instagram followers commented that the alligator “misses its mom,” referring to Hallel being on vacation in Cuba recently, adding a lighthearted touch to the situation.
