Not too long before Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested last November, fellow New York rapper Casanova made peace with the polarizing figure — despite their very public disdain for each other.
Cas explained in a November 2018 Instagram post he realized 6ix9ine was “a mislead good kid” who “didn’t know what he was signing up for.”
Last month, 6ix9ine took the stand as the government’s star witness in the case of alleged Nine Trey Gangsta Blood members Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack. During his testimony, he admitted he and other Nine Trey members attempted to shoot Cas outside of Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
In a recent interview with Ebro In The Morning, Cas opened up about his relationship with the incarcerated 6ix9ine and spoke about the hypocrisy he’s currently witnessing.

“Before he went to jail, we was cool,” he began. “I ain’t have no problem with him. I feel like every single person in the United States turned their back on me, especially in New York. My music went from playing every second to ‘Set Trippin”not even playing on the radio.”
He continued, “Even the people calling him, whatever they callin’ him… Shut the fuck up, ’cause y’all was suckin’ his dick — pardon my language — y’all was suckin’ his dick. When I was outside, acting a fool and sneakin’ in clubs and trying to look for him and stuff like that, it’s, ‘Cas, you a bully. You ain’t got no hits.’
“I ain’t got nothing bad to say about him. Y’all deal with that. All them niggas that’s with him, I don’t feel sorry for them at all. They went down the wrong route to begin with.”
