A new misleading image is doing the rounds on social media but, for a change, this one has nothing to do with AI. Instead, this (very real) photo has sparked a swirl of rumours concerning rapper 6ix9ine’s sexuality. The picture shows 6ix9ine (who also goes by Tekashi69), planting a kiss on the cheek of Mexican singer Eduin Caz, from the band GroupoFirme. It went viral after website Pop Tingz shared it to its Twitter account with the caption: “6ix9ine reveals boyfriend.” Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter The tweet racked up more than 7.9 million views and 3,570 likes in less than a day as streams of commentators remarked that they “weren’t surprised” by the revelation. Except that it wasn’t a revelation at all, just proof of the power of a sensationalist headline. In fact, Caz posted the original picture to his Instagram account to mark the release of a new collaboration between Groupo Firme and 6ix9ine. Their track, ‘Y ahora’, is a love song about… a woman. And if you watch the music video, you’ll see the two men getting up-close and personal with a couple of scantily clad ladies. And yet, social media users love to consider themselves masters of hints and easter eggs, so apparently the fact 6ix9ine sports rainbow-coloured braids is enough to suggest he’s a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Others took the opportunity to fuel the rumour that the rapper has indulged in gay porn – under an alias – and that his sex tape was leaked to the internet. However, according to AllHipHop, the actor in said X-rated movie bears merely a passing resemblance to the rapper. Furthermore, the 27-year-old admitted to having a girlfriend on Instagram just three days ago when he posted a gushing birthday tribute to model Ariiela Lalangosta. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BESTFRIEND [sic] IN THE WORLD,” he wrote in the caption to a video showing him kissing Lalangosta and showering her with cash. “My girlfriend won’t get mad but we just friends she knows that,” he added.

Kendall Jenner's boyfriend, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny has set pulses racing when he shared a very uncensored selfie of himself on Instagram. The 29-year-old 'Tití Me Preguntó' star shared numerous images on his Instagram Stories on Sunday including one of himself in the shower wearing nothing at all. The uncaptioned and dimly lit photo left little to the imagination and much like his partner, seems to have avoided any consequences from Instagram's strict nudity rules. Quite how he managed to take a photo of himself in the shower or why he had his phone with him perhaps seems beyond the point at this stage but the eye-opening pictures have certainly caused a stir online amongst his fanbase. One person wrote: "just saw bad bunny's ig story and SIRR I WAS NOT READY." Another added: "Doing God’s work." A third said: "It’s Bunny Kardashian not Bad Bunny." This internet-breaking post comes off the back of Bunny appearing to officially confirm that he and Jenner are an item. While filming a squirrel, Bunny can be heard telling Jenner, who he has been dating for five months "“Mami be careful, the mosquitos.” Both Bad Bunny and Jenner have been spotted in public together several times which has prompted memes and accusations that the supermodel was editing out her boyfriend from her posts.
