6ix9ine is accusing Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber of cheating the Billboard charts, but one source says the rapper was 'juicing' his own GOOBA video with millions of views.
Grande’s duet with Justin Bieber,
which the 23-year-old turned on gang members and pleaded guilty to nine federal felonies including racketeering conspiracy, firearms charges and narcotics trafficking — meant anticipation was high for his return. So when the New York native took to Instagram Live on May 8 and instantly drew 2 million viewers for what ended up being a 15-minute stream, all metrics seemed to point to a big debut once he had new music ready to drop.
To decode the rapper’s assertions requires a deep dive into one of the most walled-off processes in the entertainment business: Billboard’s Hot 100 rules. Rules exist, but good luck finding a copy of the Nielsen chart bylaws anywhere, although labels are informed of the formula.
