50 Cent’s brutal response to Tekashi 6ix9ine’s arrest is… well it’s brutal. No other word fits.
Apparently the two are tight, lest the police and justice system get involved. They’re not exactly enemies, but not in the slightest tight anymore.
The rapper was arrested in New York City yesterday (November 19), by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), as part of a joint investigation with Homeland Security Investigations and the New York City Police Department.
Racketeering is the involvement in fraudulent and dishonest business dealing.
Since the arrest, a 17-page indictment has been released by the Department of Justice explaining the rapper’s situation.
The report explains Tekashi was one of six people arrested for being associated with, or a member of a violent New York City gang.
By the looks of things, that is a step too far for his veteran rapper idol, who wrote on Instagram:
My son got picked up, I told him don’t call me. Sh*t. The Fed’s on you fool. Call ya momma. Don’t put the FBI on my phone. [sic]
Damning stuff. You know where you are, Tekashi? You’re in the jungle, baby.
Actually that’s probably been apparent in Tekashi 6ix9ine’s life for a while now. In October, he was sentenced to four years probation in a child sex case, with the requirements he perform 1,000 hours of community service and avoid all gang activity.
Having breached the conditions of his probation, the rapper now faces time in prison.
The indictment explains he’s facing six counts, including conspiring to commit crimes which include armed robbery, drug dealing, and shootings.
The most serious of the charges is the discharging of a firearm while committing a crime, which is punishable with a mandatory minimum of 25 years in prison, and could potentially carry a life sentence for the BEBE singer.
News of the rapper’s situation was shared by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on Twitter.
The gang which Tekashi is said to have been a part of, engaged in the acts of violence to protect their drug business, retaliate against gang rivals, and promote their violent reputation.
HSI Special Agent in Charge, Angel M. Melendez said:
Members of Nine Trey, who wielded firearms and pushed highly addictive drugs onto New York City streets, allegedly showed an unprecedented level of violence this year, and for that they are now facing multiple charges, including an incident in which an innocent bystander was shot.
This criminal enterprise has no business in our city, and we will continue to work with our partners to ensure that Nine Trey crew members, including the more well-known ‘Tekashi 6ix 9ine,’ are in a place where they cannot inflict further violence on our communities.
We’ll have to see how this one pans out.
