The Truth About Teejayx6
Rapper Teejayx6 says he began scamming at age 7. He told No Jumper that he would sell bags of parsley as marijuana. He decided selling drugs wasn't his thing though. "Everybody scams in Detroit to be honest, it's a trend," he told Flaunt. "I never really sold any weed, my whole thing was scamming." As he got older however he became more interested in fraud. The "Generation Hustle" star explained (via Wired): "I saw it as just little money at first. But once I started seeing people making money with it, I started investing time into it."
In the beginning he used Twitter and Instagram to scam by pretending to sell items as a warehouse. "I'd put a fake location in the bio area thing, then I'd post Xboxes, TVs, everything on there – sell them for like $500," he revealed.
He eventually moved on to credit card and identity theft but his real passion was always rapping. So he figured to be successful he should rap about what he knows. "My early music was trash because I was lying about drug-dealing and stuff I wasn't really living," he told Pitchfork. It appears that rap also helped Teejayx6 finally move on from scamming. "I was able to stop when music took off," he told Flaunt. "It's old, been did that."
The new father recently chose to take a break because he was "unmotivated" during the pandemic, but that he can't wait to be performing again.
