Tekashi 6ix9ine is involved in yet another lawsuit. The 27-year-old is now at the center of a legal battle between two vape companies. The rapper's vape brand Dummy Vapes is suing Fume, alleging that they've been trying to get him to endorse their vaping products despite an exclusive deal they have with him.

According to Dummy Vapes, 6ix9ine agreed to "exclusively endorse" their vaping products in February of this year. In the suit, they claim that Fume offered 6ix9ine $1 million to meet with them earlier this summer, but he turned their offer down. Fume then allegedly contacted 6ix9ine's partner, Yailin la Mas Viral, and offered her a $250K contract. In July, the rapper entered into a merchandising deal with Fume. The brand released various flavors, some of which were reportedly named "Dumy Vapes by Fume."

The brand claims that 6ix9ine clarified at one point that he only works with Fume under Yailin la Mas Viral's deal. Dummy Vapes, however, alleges that when they spent $60K for him to take a private jet to an event to promote their products, he backed out. According to them, he canceled his appearance "due to directives from Fume." The brand is seeking damages from Fume for allegedly meddling in their relationship with 6ix9ine.

Unfortunately, the vape drama is not the only legal battle 6ix9ine's gotten wrapped up in as of late. He was also sued by tattoo artist Takashi Matsuba earlier this summer for alleging that he used to use drugs. In documentaries on both Showtime and Hulu, the rapper claimed that the artist was the inspiration for his rap moniker. He added, however, that Matsuba was a former heroin addict. In his suit, Matsuba says that he lost various friends as well as his wife due to 6ix9ine's false statements.

Diddy Allegedly Blew Up Kalenna Harper's Phone With 58 Calls After Dawn Richard's Lawsuit

Diddy is currently behind bars at the infamous Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after he and his legal team unsuccessfully argued that he should get out on bail at his arraignment on Tuesday. One key part of the prosecution's case against letting him back onto the street was concerns that he might attempt to contact alleged victims and witnesses, according to Rolling Stone. They referenced the Bad Boy mogul allegedly blowing up his Dirty Money bandmate Kalenna Harper's cellphone after the group's other member, Dawn Richard, accused him of sexual abuse, sex trafficking, fraud, and more in a lawsuit. The state claims he contacted Harper 128 times through calls and texts over the course of just four days.

Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson argued in the courtroom: "Witnesses have universally expressed fear of the defendant." Diddy's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, had offered to pay $50 million for bail and said that his client would remain on house arrest in Miami with constant surveillance. Judge Robyn Tarnofsky wasn't impressed by the offer. "This is a crime that happens behind closed doors, even when pretrial services is monitoring," she ruled, as caught by CNN.

Agnifilo still intends to appeal the ruling, telling reporters outside of the courtroom: “He’s going to clear his name and we’re going to stand by his side as he does. We believe in him wholeheartedly. He came here to turn himself in. Why doesn’t the government want him to turn himself in? Because then they can’t ask for detention. All we can do is show good faith. He got on a plane and he came here. They arrested a guy who came here to turn himself in.”

Diddy's attorneys have also sent a letter to the judge labeling the conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn "horrific." Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy on HotNewHipHop.
