Tekashi 6ix9ine was arraigned in Manhattan Federal Court on Monday (November 19) after being arrested on racketeering and weapons charges over the weekend. Feds have determined the controversial rapper is a member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
6ix9ine appeared in court alongside his former manager Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, Jensel “Ish” Butler, Fuguan “Fu Banga” Lovick and Faheem “Crippy” Walter who were also taken into custody. The arrests followed a joint investigation by the NYPD, Homeland Security Investigations and ATF.
According to a United States Department of Justice press release, all five men are accused of being involved in “a criminal organization” who participated in drug deals, armed robberies and shootings.
The feds believe 6ix9ine was involved in an April 3 armed robbery with Jordan and two other members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. The press release states they robbed their gang rivals at gunpoint.
The indictment also names Lovick as the triggerman behind the Barclays Center shooting in April.
In total, 6ix9ine and his crew are facing 17 counts dating back to 2013. Two of the charges — using or carrying a firearm during and in relation to, or possessing a firearm in furtherance of, a crime of violence, which was discharged — carry a maximum sentence of life in prison if 6ix9ine is convicted.
“As alleged in the indictment, this gang, which included platinum-selling rap artist Tekashi 6ix9ine, wreaked havoc on New York City, engaging in brazen acts of violence,” U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said in the press release. “Showing reckless indifference to others’ safety, members of the gang were allegedly involved in robberies and shootings, including a shooting inside the crowded Barclay’s Center, and a shooting in which an innocent bystander was hit. Thanks to the extraordinary work of HSI, ATF, and the NYPD, the defendants will now face justice in federal court.”
Federal court reporter Kaja Whitehouse tweeted that one of 6ix9ine’s alleged co-conspirators suggested the feds aren’t planning to grant them bail.
Stick a fork in him…. he’s done. Feds don’t play. Should have just went straight when you had the chance.
GET THIS CLOWN OUT OF THE GAME YO…. I SO MISS THE TUNNEL DAYS
It’s 2018 and dudes still snitching on theyselves. Bye bye fruitcake
It’s not sounding good for this idiot
Finally some good news. We all know how pedos get treated in Jail.
This gayboy will probably like it… sure he will change his name to Teswallow Dix9inches
We can do this,The easy or the hard way…It’s your choice?
Please, please, let this happen. The pedo needs to be behind bars, not out prowling for more underage pussy. Throw R Kelly in there with him too. And of course all the gang shit catches up as well. At least my boo Drizzy will keep bringing out the hits after he destroyed the fake drug dealer Pusha T.
he sucks hip hop heads know that but this is bs we know 69 aint bout that life they just wanna lock him up and dudes just cause u dont like him shouldn’t be happy someone is going to jail on some made up charges
Blood Gang Stoopid!! Succ my fuccin dicc stupid!! THIS IS FUCCIN TREWAY STUPID SUCC MY FUCCIN DICC STUPID!!!!!!!! BLOOOD GANG!! KING OF NY STUPID!!!?
Made up charges? You’re an idiot.
The charges may put him away for a year at most. He is not doing life in prison.
He’ll snitch on everyone and do 10 years.
He didn’t even commit the crimes. Just held firearms and was part of the gang. Kendrick is part of a gang yet gets away scott free or at least did his time. Tekashi will do 1 year at most
Rico statute says if your part of the gang your responsible for all crimes committed by members in furtherance of the gang so him being in the gang and getting caught with guns us more than enough
Thats not how Rico and gang cases work. For example if a car full of gangmembers are driving and the driver shoots up some people. They get pulled over by cops all the gangmembers are getting charged with the shooting even if only the driver was the shooter. You must be from the suburbs you lame.
He will do Minimum 7 years with Snitching… You thinks hes only gotta get a year for Rico? LOL!
Sheesh! Sounds just as bad as GS9
Some dudes had just only a year of ballin. En A Es…NAS
LOL
Judge is going to tell Tekashi to “Suck My Dick Stoopid”
Tekashi bout to be in the middle of that prison Treyway. I’d almost feel bad for him but he probably will like getting porked from both sides. Stoooopid
Tekashi was supplying the 9 Trey bloods with money for protection and his fake blood gangsta image.
With that money h was funding the bloods gang activities. He can’t say he wasn’t a gangmember when he also saying “This blood gang Stoopid” and flashing gang signs. Hope that dumbass gets the book thrown at him.
Peadophiles belong in prison for life anyways, he will end up in PC cause he’s a lil bitch.
You can’t even spell. Dumbass
Hahahahaha they setting that boy up to tell on everybody!!
Thats what happens when you run around shouting “blood” on tv all damn day…
Cant wait for 69 to tell the judge to suck his dick hahahaha….
dude try so hard to be part of a gang and finally he achieved the goal, congratulations, you played yourself
Hold that L TreyWay.. Just being honest none of these cats will be missed.
I fux with his music. Hes stoopid but releases dope and different shit ..beats are sick with it. He got more fans than all of u hater combined tho
Yep. You support gay pedos. Be proud. Fucking weirdo. His rhymes and beats were all ass…
Somebody about 2 start SAAAAAAAAAAANGINNNNNNNNN’!!!!
He could have lived a happy successful life. But he wanted to prove his “gangsta” by trolling and talking shieet Well he got what he wished for. That’s what happens to gangsters. They go to prison.
If convicted…. Nothing is 100% now. I know you hate the guy but ppl needs to stop rumors if its not 100
You must be a Kid. If the Feds arrest yo, you can guarantee you are getting locked up for years! The feds have a conviction rate of like 97% when it comes to Rico. He has only like a 3% chance of avoiding serious time. He was already put on 4 years probation like a month ago and he has f-d that up with this serious charge. The only person I know of to Beat Rico was John Gotti!
93% but you’re still right, anyone who thinks he has prayer now is just a spoiled ignorant child. 69 is getting time
Gotti beat what homie? dude got life in prison without parole and died in there of throat cancer.
Obviously only haters are commenting lmao. Yall waiting for this to happen… Its not 100% yet …wait til he is really locked up and then yall can running yall mouth. Not only about tekashi….about any artist you hate in general.
He is locked up though and will probably be denied bail. LOL
Right. The FBI has a 93% conviction rate. He isn’t done yet. Sarcasm. You will eventually get that GED. Just keep cheating, young Dindu.
aww man.
HAHA. Now watch him snitch on everybody. What a looser.
He is being charged for being a member of a gang who’s members have done shady stuff? There has to be more to it, there’s no way the charges would stick if he were being charged just for his affiliation. Jim Jones and Juelz were in Nine Trey too, where’s their charges at?
Have you not been reading the news the past year about juelz? Their charges are present for whatever they got caught for not just like these dudes were under investigation still robbing people
Thanks how Rico cases work. I’m from LA. Bloods, Crips, and Sureños always getting hit with the Rico, especially the Surenos due to them running the drug trade and affiliation to the Mexican Mafia. If you are not from the streets I doubt you’ll understand how badly Tekashi is fucced. He can try to prove he’s not a 9 Trey blood but that’s impossible. Jim Jones and Juelz? Lol they not indicted cus they not active anymore running around doing dumbshieet
One of the charges is they armed robbed some rival gangmembers. Even if Tekashi was just sitting in the car when it happened he is still guilty by association. Thats how gang crimes work.
When keeping it real goes wrong..
Hes gonna be about 6ix9ine years old by the time he gets out. Poor Bastard.
This is what happens when you try to be a super gangsta and also want to me a social media whore. Running the streets and trying to be all over social media doesnt work out. Real street guys be low profile. Dumbass
Lol what makes him a cosplay blood if he’s getting charged with all this??? (Not that it’s a good thing) Ya hate got you talking stupid…never cared for 69 but i do find it amusing how many grown men he still got in their feelings
He is a cosplay blood. He been paying the 93 bloods money the past year for protection and to co-sign his blood image. He got caught up in some shit. Now he going to snitch on all those bloods.
Pedophiles with rainbow hair tend to have grown men in their feelings, weirdo. Bloods were created in L.A., where I’m from. REAL bloods would have killed one of there own for far less than that pedo shit he pulled, and would never have accepted his money for protection. They also would not of fired off rounds in a crowded stadium or had some weirdo flashing guns all on Instagram and shit. Because that shit ATTRACTS THE FEDS!! Bad for business. You end up in a hole in the desert bringing heat down on the O.G.s. Dumbass.
dont take 100 mill.. he has several mill left and im sure hed put up 3 mill to be free
Buddy, John Gotti spent over 20 million on his last cáse 20+ years ago. How did he go out?
” several mill” LMAO first off youre right it dont take 100 mill but it damn sure take more than several and thats if they dont have stacks of evidence and statements in which they have. I guarantee you he doesnt have several mill of disposable income to fight this in any way, shape, or form.
No one is above the law, not even celebrities
You really believe that? There are many people above the law. Politicians, evangelists, corporate CEOs, cops, and filthy rich people do whatever they want with no repercussions, as long as they don’t cross someone of even more power than them. If that Shkreli dude wouldn’t have put his other rich counterparts on blast by acting stupid, he’d still be out here hustling sick people. Dont be naive. The law is selective.
Them guys up in them cell blocks already foamin at the mouth. They are going to knock the lining out his lil light bright twinkle sparkle crayola skittle a$$!.
Well. Bad news for him, but to be honest good news for music
this clown is gonna do some time just like bob shrmurda did.
he aint no way above the law as u can see how many other rap artists have had to sit
(styles, prodigy, b shrmuda, remy, weezy, gucci, boosi, etc…
I hope he tells the judge “Test my gangsta, blood”
People think they are 80s movies gangstas lol. You can’t get away with crime in 2018. Feds have all the technology to track your every move. Tekashi had panicked cause of the charges that’s why he fired his whole team
Actually I think You can get away with crime, but not when You flexin about this shit in songs and videoclips like stoopid moron
No. You can’t. Not REAL crime. Check out El Chapo. Ain’t no one out Gangstaing that dude. Where is he now?
Yeah, but You know above some amount of money there is no crime anymore only politics. El Chapo is very radical example, I said more about let say medium crimes and such not a big ass narco trafficante shit
If anyone thinks he’s not going to prison this time then you are a fool and you are ignorant. Trippie Redd won the war. Congrats, 69 you played yourself.
I think this dude work for them boys is what I think,he works as a snitch for the feds,he got off with having sex with a 15 year old and only got probation for it,now he got his crew caught up in some organized crime type shit,that’s why he fired everyone this dude is definite snitch I bet you anything he will get off on this case as well.
They let him off on that other shot with a slap on the wrist because they wanted to keep building their case. It worked. He’s going to plea to at least 15. Watch. If the feds snatch you up all the snitching that could be done, has already. He’s fucked. He can’t snitch on cats who already have evidence against them. It doesn’t make sense.
He will be alright, wack100 will bail him out and give him proper legal advice.
I know when the Feds come and get chu, they got chu…there is no need to play dumb or play innocent. Your (his) best bet is to take the deal (whatever deal they give him) take that lick and move on buddy…LOL…
Yeah.. they don’t move in on you with your first infraction.
Welllp… Bout to print some FREE TEKASHI t shirts and hit the block wittem.
Throw away the key. I hate cops, but I hate that fruit even more. “Platinum selling artist”? Yo, you mean to tell me a MILLION people actually bought his music? Wow, this country is lost and dumb. The sad thing is, after he got so popular by being as outrageously ridiculous as possible, there are a million other kids ready to follow the same blueprint. And websites like this will be ready to promote them.
There’s a lot of high school and college kids that just don’t know any better. We were all young and dumb once. Apparently the bar for dumb is way lower than it was in the past though.
When keep it “Real” goes wrong! This Young mann WHO had the World by the balls and could live good with his family for good. So sad he probaly gonna spend almost all his life in jail:( and believe me!!! Prison aint a pretty place!!!
starting to sound like they had a mole in their crew. however, the feds are making it out like 69 was a don of the whole crew. he may not get life, but they are going to drag this case out as long as possible. he may not get life but he will be doing a few years because they, the same system, will say he violated probation which would be a setup. if the feds were investigating for many years, and they put 69 on probation for other crimes, eventually knowing he would get arrested by the feds, then that is a systematic set up. if his defense lawyers could prove that. everything would be wiped out.
When you snake a snake you have to expect the snake to get you back….. He fired his whole crew and hes paying for that. 69 surrounded himself with the wrong crew and wilding out. You have to remember once you start making money and claiming gangs… the FEDs are watching. Even Fat Joe tried to warn 69….. check out fat joe and 69 interview.
Thank you for your PhD level observation Matlock. Gtfoh.
U don’t know..who’s who and what they do or where they are..could be somebody right next to you and u don’t know…ur just a regular joe..play ur position
They making it seem like it’s all him cuz he’s gonna sing the fastest. He’s got everything to lose.
And, if he ‘sing’, he can no longer walk the streets.
If you’re going to rob someone at gun point, you want to make sure you don’t have anything on / about you that’s easily identifiable. Like rainbow fucking hair.
So tru
I like his music but I cant forgive the child molestation, rainbow hair and that music video where he has tits dressed like a woman. I cant give his bitch ass a pass. Vocally hes pretty good.
Listen up kids, gangs are bad. They bring nothing of value, looking only to bring destruction to themselves, and whomever they come across. Eat your veggies, listen to Moms and Pops, and make something of yourself.
SMDH!!!! He should have listen to FAT JOE when JOE warned him that the FED are watching you can’t keep wilding out. Kids these days don’t listen… every time a OG tried to school them what we get sit your old ass down.
“FREE 6IX 9INE!!!!!!!”
Said no one ever!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes art mimics reality. It’s ironic that his album is called Dummy Boytm
Stupid!! Didn’t learn from Bobby Shmurda!!!!
This is worse than Shmurda
Please let the judge make the right decision to lock this fucking clown up, a parasite on society and a horrible human being in general, do the world a favour
It’s a very good chance his career is over. Sad thing is he made it. He had songs with the most elite in the industry, the industry forgave him for the crime he committed, which is not heard of for kind of crime that was committed, the courts are being super nice to him by showing leniency, and he’s still fucking up?
Platinum selling rapper? Is that really true? Does platinum mean something different now?
