Tekashi 6ix9ine Cuts Deal with Feds? Rapper's Name Missing From Updated Indictment

UPDATE: Tekashi has pleaded guilty to 9 counts which also involves quite a bit of snitching, according to TMZ. In court, he claimed that he joined the Nine Trey Bloods in the fall of 2017. In March 20, 2018 the rapper has reportedly admitted to have helped members of the gang attempt to kill a rival to “increase my own standing in Nine Trey.” Then on April 3, he says he and others robbed a rival at gunpoint.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

“I paid a person to shoot at a rival member of Nine Trey to scare him. The shooting took place in Manhattan. I did this to maintain or increase my own standing in Nine Trey” he said, referring to the Chief Keef shooting. He’s technically facing 47 years in prison but his cooperation with the authorities will likely lead to lesser time.

There were reports going around last week that Tekashi 6ix9ine had cut a deal with the feds in order to bring down his sentence or totally get removed from the case. It looks like it may be true after all.

Some new charges were filed on Thursday in the case involving Tekashi 6ix9ine where he was accused of federal racketeering and firearms charges. The viral 22-year-old rapper was arrested in November for allegedly being a member of the violent crew Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. Three new defendants have been added to the case according to court documents obtained by HHNM — Anthony Ellison, Denard Butler and Kintea McKenzie but 6ix 9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, is missing from the papers.

According to the documents, Butler was arrested yesterday, Ellison was already in custody on federal charges and McKenzie is still at large. The case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: “As alleged in the superseding indictment, the new defendants in this case, like those previously charged, engaged in brazen acts of gun violence. Thanks to our remarkable partners at HSI, ATF, and the NYPD, these defendants now face federal charges for their serious crimes.”

“Nine Trey was a criminal enterprise involved in committing numerous acts of violence, including shootings, robberies, and assaults in and around Manhattan and Brooklyn,” according to the papers. “Members and associates of Nine Trey engaged in violence to retaliate against rival gangs, to promote the standing and reputation of Nine Trey, and to protect the gang’s narcotics business. Members and associates of Nine Trey enriched themselves by committing robberies and selling drugs, such as heroin, fentanyl, furanyl fentanyl, MDMA, dibutylone, and marijuana.”

Tekashi 6ix9ine’s name not being in the indictment anymore is an interesting development which could mean he has entered into a cooperation agreement with the authorities but there has not been any announcement from either party yet. We have reached out to his lawyer for a comment. Tekashi had pled not guilty in the original charges with the trial date for September, 2019.
