While fans are divided on how many eggs are in Gates’ possession, they’ve been giving his music a massive boost on TikTok. Nearly 10 years after its release, the rapper’s 2013 track “Thinking With My Dick” featuring Juicy J hit No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week after its catchy hook was used multiple times on the platform. The Stranger Than Fiction cut was initially used in a video that featured a festive man vibing to the track at Mardi Gras, and from there it took off. The song’s chart placement is a momentous occasion for Gates as it’s only the second time he's made it into the top 40. His 2016 track “2 Phones” peaked at No. 17.

Explanation: The answer is six because of the use of past and present tense in the riddle.

The riddle states that you have 6 eggs, which is using a present clause.
It then goes on to state that you broke, cooked and ate a number of eggs. This is using a past clause.

2…🤔

You broke two eggs but that doesn’t mean you cooked them

Then you fried two eggs but that doesn’t mean you ate them.

Then you ate two eggs that could have been boiled, scrambled, ect, not necessarily fried

But he only at 2 so technically he still HAS 4 regardless of their condition…broken or cooked they’re still 4 eggs. But I shouldn’t be this invested in this at 7am … yet here I am 😂

There’s 2 eggs left . if you had 6 and broke 2 that leaves 4 & if you fried 2 eggs those are the 2 eggs you ate so there’s 2 eggs left .

None,

He broke the two eggs, fried the 2 eggs & then ate the two eggs. He no longer has them.
