«Breaking News» Tekashi 6ix9ine and gang indicted on racketeering and firearms charges

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine and five other gang members were indicted Monday on racketeering and firearm charges in Manhattan federal court.

The Brooklyn-based rapper, whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez, was arraigned alongside the five other men affiliated in the New York City-based gang Nine Trey before US Magistrate Judge Henry B. Pitman.

Aside from the rapper, his ex-manager, Kifano Jordan, aka Shotti has been charged. Faheem Walter, aka Crippy, Jamel Jones, aka, Mel Murda, Jensel Butler, aka Ish and Fuguan Lovick, aka Fu Banga, have also been charged.

One other individual is currently in state custody, according to a press release by the US Department of Justice. He will be transferred to federal custody. 

Federal authorities say the rapper known as Tekashi 6ix9ine and five other gang members have been indicted on racketeering and firearm charges

US Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: 'As alleged in the indictment, this gang, which included platinum-selling rap artist Tekashi 6ix 9ine, wreaked havoc on New York City, engaging in brazen acts of violence.

'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.' 

The rapper was arrested by ATF agents in New York on Sunday night after a joint investigation was done by the ATF, NYPD, and Homeland Security, adds the site. He was denied bail on Monday.

6ix9ine has been among the most ascendant and controversial names in hip-hop in recent months. 

His debut album, Day69, is among the most downloaded records on iTunes.

But he's had several run-ins with law enforcement. 

He recently pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in Brooklyn Criminal Court in connection with a May traffic stop.

The rapper arrived for an arraignment in an assault case in Houston, Texas, over the summer

Last week the rapper revealed in an Instagram clip that he had dismissed his entire staff, including his manager and his booker.

'I fired everybody on my team,' the Gummo artist said in the clip, imploring his fans that he was not going to be performing live in the near future, even in cases where he might be advertised.

He said, 'I don't got no manager, I got no booking agent, no PR, no publicist, I don't got nobody on my team - it's just me.'  

The arrests also come a month after Faheem was shot during an altercation with the rapper's record label. 

According to the press release, Nine Trey is a 'criminal enterprise involved in committing numerous acts of violence, including shootings, robberies, and assaults in and around Manhattan and Brooklyn. 

'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. 

They 'enriched themselves by committing robberies and selling drugs, such as heroin, fentanyl, furanly fentanyl, MDMA, dibutylone, and marijuana.'

6ix9ine is now facing 25 years to life in prison on six counts of the crimes.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
