Defense attorney Devereaux Cannick, who is currently representing one of Tekashi 6ix9ine’s alleged kidnappers Anthony Ellison, has reportedly accused the polarizing rapper of faking his own kidnapping.
According to Page Six, Cannick spoke about the incident during a hearing at a Manhattan courthouse on Friday (August 16).
“No robbery or kidnapping or assault happened,” Cannick said. “He was about to drop another album … gotta get that buzz up. That’s how he makes money.”
Cannick claimed the car used to allegedly kidnap 6ix9ine in July 2018 had been wired by the government prior to the incident.
The attorney made his comments after federal court judge Paul Engelmeyer moved Ellison and fellow Nine Trey Gangsta Blood Aljermiah Mack’s trial back to September 16.
6ix9ine is expected to testify against Ellison and Mack as part of his federal racketeering case. Prosecutors intend to present some of his music videos as evidence at trial. If convicted, Ellison and Mack reportedly face up to life in prison.
The Brooklyn native was arrested last November and pleaded not guilty to multiple felony charges. He agreed to cooperate with authorities in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence, earning the nickname “Snitch9ine.”
This dude is a lame.
Dude…u mean Dame…she has feminine ways
This man making history for the biggest L in the streets
The streets took an L for being behind Tekashi. He just played his part.
cancelled
Most rappers today (2000-2019) are phonies.
Tupac was a phony too lol what you smoking on old head. He got his fake gangster ass blasted by some REAL crips
STFU, BITCH
You are delusional and dumb….a deadly combination
hey I tell you one thing about 2pac. he was no jay-z.
Your so bogus. Pac was “shooting cops” lmao. He shot a person, who happened to be a cop, off duty, and Pac had no way of knowing this. Quit BSing like Pac was out there as a thug. Pac was an ACTOR. FYI, imma big Pac fan, I just don’t lie to myself about him being a hypocritical poser.
What’s sad too, is you know for a fact if he gets out of jail soon, he will still likely be a very successful music maker. If nobody signs him, he’ll still get millions of views, and make a great living off of music. Lots of listeners are scummy losers themselves, so don’t care about the personal character of the people they listen to.
scummy losers and who the fuck are you.
I’m someone who doesn’t give views and money to child rapists, snitches, and dbags. Sounds like you got real butthurt but that comment lol.
you on record homey.
I’m on record lol? For what? Your a big internet tough guy, huh? If your gonna threaten me, at least give me your actual name and number, then I’ll contact you.
No one is killing him, this ain’t a movie, there are guys eho snitched on the actual mafia that are still out there talking, he didn’t bring down some huge global criminal cooperation, just some regular dudes associated with the bloods trying to start their own shit, their numbers are limited and they’ve been already taken down by the government, nobody is killing this fool that little gang he was with ain’t shit
If he gets out someone is going to kill his ass! He broke street code! He’s done!
Remember in 2018 when this dude was in every other headline for something crazy? Now I damn near forgot about him.
Did tekashi really think he was going to see the light of day again. Lol , new case after new case keep popping up for him . That’s what he gets for working with the FEDS. He Is a fed , federal inmate
Sadly he will see the light of day again, he’s a co-operating witness now.
Poor journalism. They got video and audio of the kidnapping and the chains were never recovered. Of course the defense attorney will say that as their client is taking it to trial.
Dumbass! He talked all that gang shit just to turn around and be a snitch! Oh well! His music was garbage anyway! ??? Stoopid!
This little clown came up on some gimmick shit, actually made a few million but now facing life in prison. His crew was wack from the jump, fake ass bloods first of all none of these fools are certified from So Cali ..2nd: those members ain’t shit or worth shit, so YES hes gunna tell whT the feds want to know so he can get out and make more money. New york bloods LMAO!!!!
UBN has nothing to do with Cali. They don’t need some loser from Cali saying “ok, you guys are real now! Be safe!”
If any of you ever thought he was hood then y’all need to reevaluate your life.
But Pusha T snitches on himself and his brother on every song he does?
Free 6ix9ine. Let some real gangstas kill him on the first corner.
