The 6 is named after the six constituent municipalities that were amalgamated in 1998 to form what we now call 'Toronto': East York, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, York, and the City of Toronto. It has nothing to do with the telephone area codes (416 being the oldest).

The city of Toronto. Named of the city's two area codes, 416 and 647. The term was popularized by Drake and is only used by Drake and people who don't live in Toronto.

A number the rapper Drake is suspiciously fond of. Claims to refer it to his hometown Toronto area codes: 416, 647, or 437. 6 is also the number of Sin (excessiving drinking, usage of drugs, fornication, sleeping around, porn, lust, lying, cursing, etc) and The Devil, a.k.a Satan. Ex: 666- mark of the beast.
Person: Why doesnt Drake refer to numbers 4 or 1 in his songs, why he put so much empasis on the 6?
Other Person: Cuz 6 is the number of the devil, and it promotes Satan and sin in his music.
Person: Satan, we rebuke you and your works. Jesus Christ is Lord over all!
