The recent unveiling of Maccasio’s new fashion line, 69 Clothing, has stirred conversation across social media, with industry watcher Nash Iddi throwing a sharp jab at the rapper. In a post that has since gone viral, Nash remarked, “Over half a decade, no hit song, now down to selling T-shirts and boxers… Hope they are original wears but not Lome. Anyway, congrats, my guy.”
The comment, though ending with a “congratulations,” came laced with sarcasm that many fans interpreted as a shade at Maccasio’s musical relevance. According to Nash, the rapper has struggled to produce a nationwide hit in recent years and may now be relying on fashion as a survival plan. While some view Maccasio’s new venture as a smart business move and a way of creating jobs, others see it as a clear sign of the tough realities musicians face when their music no longer dominates the charts.
