*Former NBA player Matt Barnes has issued a harsh warning to rapper and social media troll 6ix9ine, aka Tekashi69: Gang banging and social media don’t mix.
In a video published by TMZ, Barnes warned 69 to watch his back after rapper XXXTentacion was gunned down in South Florida on Monday.
Barnes implied that X “got in too deep” with the gang culture and reminded the youth that social media disputes are often settled offline with gun violence.
“Bro must have a death wish, man, cause these motherf**kers are not playing. They eat motherf**kers like this for a living,” said Barnes, referring to Tekashi who is known more for trolling on social media than for his music.
Barnes warned Tekashi to curb his thrill for stirring up drama online — or he could be next.
“You gonna end up running into somebody REAL that’s gonna turn your lights out, man. All for what? All for popularity or for some likes?”

Fans of slain rapper XXXTentacion believe they know who his killer is — and that his death was not random.
According to reports, X was shot by two gunmen as he sat in his car outside a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach, FL. One of the gunmen wore a red mask.
Following news of his death, Internet rapper Kidd Soldier posted an image of himself and a homie posing on a car and in the front seat was a red mask.
But on Tuesday, he uploaded a video denying his involvement in X’s death.
Others noted that Kidd Soldier posted the image of the red mask after details of the shooting were revealed to the public because he wanted to capitalize off of the tragedy by drawing attention to himself.
