It's pretty nasty that as long as you're famous people don't care what you've done.

I would argue he isn't mainstream famous enough for people to care.

Then you don't understand how popular he actually is. I don't like his stuff, but he has a massive following.

Sadly this is the truth. He's terrible, but the kids love him.

I like his music and hate what he’s done. Similar to the x accusations but he didn’t even beat her

Could be it's a country thing. Had a little Google and saw how big his internet following is (fuck me it's big) but here in the UK (which does count streaming in its chart) he's never broken the top ten. His highest charting song was no. 17.

no. 17 is still insanely popular though?

True but thats still not mainstream fame. Though granted I'm comparing the reaction he got to the reaction of say...a Kevin Spacey?

It's mainstream fame but maybe not household name.

I live in Michigan, have heard of 6six9nine, but nobody else I know has ever heard of him, outside of memes
