'Locked Up' was the song that put Akon on the map and thrust him into the mainstream Hip Hop spotlight and now it seems he's giving 6ix9ine permission to make a part 2.

Alongside the video on his Instagram, Teakshi 6ix9ine wrote, 'OCKED UP PART 2 IM ON ALBUM MODE 💿💿💿 THIS ALBUM GOING CRAZYYYYYYY 🔥🔥🔥 @akon 💛💚💙💜❤️🧡🖤'

Lyrics from Tekashi 6ix9ine's new version of 'Locked Up' hear him sing, "Fighting with these demon, barely even eating, barely even sleeping, this s**t got me tweaking, fighting with my lawyers for a better offer, just wanna see my daughter"

Akon originally released 'Locked Up' back in 2004 and it appeared on his debut solo album 'Trouble', which was a huge hit around the world.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has been teasing new music whilst he serves out his sentence in home confinement, having already released the song 'GOOBA' which became a massive hit upon release.

Rumours have also been circulating in recent weeks that Nicki Minaj has secretly recorded a new song with Tekashi 6ix9ine, but we're yet to see whether there's any truth to that rumour.
