'My family is calling my phone wondering if I’m okay. I’m okay.'
Tech N9ne took to Twitter Monday to express his condolences for the death of battle rapper Tech 9, real name Akeem Mickens, whose death caused confusion about which rap guru had passed. Tech 9’s death was announced the same day by his friend and fellow battle rapper, Buttah From-Da Block, in two emotional statements on Facebook.
The rapper then made a statement regarding the pair’s similar names. Though spelled differently, both rappers pronounce their name “Tech Nine.” “This Tech N9ne is going through customs back in the U.S., coming from Canada, coming from Europe” the rapper shared in the video, which panned to a security line in an airport.
Tech N9ne’s clarification may be much needed, as there are still social media questions about the rappers. “Tech 9" or"Tech N9ne" someone give me details,” wrote Twitter user @FluffyiG. Others mourned the rapper, who is still very much alive. “NO F****** WAY. DID TECH N9NE REALLY PASS AWAY?” said user KAlonso_LNG.
