Drake Pays Tribute To 50 Cent After Catching Heat Over Their Miami Link Up  

By: London JennnCategory: News

While Drake may have come under fire for canceling a recent show after being spotted out partying with 50 Cent, that didn’t stop Drizzy from paying tribute to Fiddy a day later. 

The OVO honcho was slammed by fans online after he canceled his headlining performance at Lollapalooza Brazil in São Paulo on Sunday night (Mar. 27), citing production issues.  

However, fans were angry after Drake was seen on video the night prior, celebrating with 50 Cent. The pair were captured deep in conversation at his birthday party at B#### Trap on the River in Miami. Fans took to social media complaining that Drizzy showed up to the club with 50 but not to his concert.

Nonetheless, the two rappers were shown deep in conversation and presumably had a good meeting. Although some fans were less than pleased Drizzy canceled his show, others began calling for a collab. The two rappers have yet to work on music together and could break records with their respective hit-making abilities. In addition, 50 Cent now reigns over a vast media empire and could pull Drake back into acting.  

Drake Shows Love To 50 Cent

On Monday evening, Drake showed love to 50 Cent on his Instagram story, wearing a G-Unit tee with Fiddy’s face on the front.

This isn’t the first time he’s used his fit to pay tribute to 50 Cent. Drake donned a short with Fif’s name on the front while playing Hip-Hop loving basketball star Jimmy Brooks on the Canadian TV show Degrassi: The Next Generation.  

Last May, 50 Cent shared a post of Drake wearing the shirt and gave him flowers in the caption. “That boy @champagnepapi came wit it,” Fiddy penned in the caption. “He got off that show and made some real fvcking hits man.”

Trae Tha Truth Transforms Home Of Elderly Woman Previously Arrested Over $77 Trash Bill 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Last year, Trae Tha Truth raised money for 82-year-old Martha Menefield after she was arrested for not paying a $77 trash bill. 

A video of her arrest went viral with social media outraged cops took her into custody over an unpaid bill. Martha Menefield assumed police were joking as she thought she had paid her bill and never received any notice to appear in court.  

The Hometown Hero caught wind of the elderly woman’s plight and stepped in to help. He created a GoFundMe page for Martha Menefield and encouraged his 1 million followers to donate funds. She was in need of home improvements and had no central heating or AC and her house flooded when it rained. 

The campaign raised thousands, but the philanthropic rapper never forgot about Martha Menefield. Last week, Trae Tha Truth reached out to contractors in Alabama to continue his efforts to help the senior citizen.  

He took to Instagram with a PSA video telling his followers he wants to “make sure we do some crazy stuff” to help bless her life.  

“PSA Contractors or Rebuilders!!! Im Working to do another Big Blessing For Mrs. Martha Menefield the 82 year old grandmother that they arrested over a trash bill,” he penned in the caption. “Im Lookin For Any Contractors or people who Help Repair or rebuild homes In Atlanta or close to Valley Alabama”

Trae Tha Truth Blesses Martha Menefield

Trae Tha Truth came through for Martha Menefield in a big way. She was in need of new furniture, and although she told him she only wanted “a recliner with a cup holder,” the Houston native pulled out all the stops and gave her “a whole new house-full” of furniture. 

“I’m about to pull up and surprise her,” he said in the touching video showing the transformation. “All I know is the lord sent him,” the 82-year-old said of Trae. He shared a note in the caption and promised more to come. Check out the makeover in the video below.

Nipsey Hussle’s Killer Gets A Hit-Like Judgement In Court

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Nipsey Hussle’s killer Eric Holder is going to have a rough ride going forward.

There are a number of reasons why, but when a judge gets involved in the condemnation, you already know it is going to be horrific. And that’s exactly what happened. In a recent court case, where they were admonishing holder, a judge made a commentary on the situation that essentially put the hit on Holder.

He said once he gets to prison “it’s a greenlight from all the gangs,” and that is a direct quote!  I think it’s pretty crazy that a judge would even speak like that, but we are in a new age and this is not the old days with Judge Judy or something. This is a new era where people have grown up in hip-hop, gang culture is normalized, and most people know what time it is. And the time is retribution time! Eric Holder took away one of our most revered superstars in Hip-Hop. Nipsey Hussle was on the rise and he was a KING! I am mad just thinking about it right now!

Now, some have speculated that this is not the judge, but it does not matter to me. Superior Court Judge H. Clay Jacke is the one that sentenced Holder to 60 years to life last week. Whoever said it, said what they MFn said. And, that sounds great to me. I am not suggesting I want him to die a horrible death, but if he does, I assure y’all I’ll sleep like a baby.

RIP Ermias Asghedom!

Amber Rose Explains How She Told Her 10-Year-old Son About Her OnlyFans Account

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

In a riveting and candid episode of the “Forbidden Fruits with Julia Fox and Niki Takesh” podcast, Amber Rose and Julia Fox, two of Kanye West’s exes, came together to share their experiences and discuss life in the limelight.

Among the topics explored, Amber Rose revealed how she broached the subject of her OnlyFans account with her 10-year-old son, Sebastian, while both women opened up about their time dating the iconic rapper.

Amber Rose began by sharing her unique approach to explaining her OnlyFans account to her son, Bash (Sebastian).

With a blend of honesty and humor, she told him, “Pumpkin, if somebody is stupid enough to pay for pictures of somebody’s feet or something like that, then they pay for it, and you get to go to a really good school and Six-Flags and Universal Studios, and get to have nice clothes and stuff.”

This lighthearted take on the subject showcases Amber’s ability to maintain a sense of humor while educating her child about her career choices.

The conversation then turned to their experiences dating Kanye West.

Amber, who was with Kanye from 2008 to 2010, opened up about her sudden rise to fame

“I don’t shy away from that because it is a really big part of my story and how I became famous. I think the funny part is I didn’t have anyone to look to and say, okay this happened to her so it’s going to happen to me,” Amber reasoned.

“I was the first, I was the girlfriend and then all of the sudden I was by myself walking around and paparazzi would follow me around, alone, and I would say ‘I’m not famous, he’s not with me,’”she said.

Julia Fox, who briefly dated Kanye in early 2022, chimed in with her theory on Kanye’s personality and ambition.

“I have a theory that he has always been the same, kind of, and it’s getting more extreme. I feel like he has always just had really lofting dreams and always kind of pushing the envelope as much as he can, pushing the boundaries – like if you tell the man no, he is going to find a way to get yes,” Julia Fox said.

Their openness and camaraderie showcased the power of women supporting one another, even in the face of shared, high-profile relationships.

New Disturbing Details Emerge In The Jonathan Majors Case And It Involves Court!

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Let’s get it started like a Black Eyed Peas song!

Jonathan Majors was the one who called 911, not his girlfriend! The actor, who has been WHITE HOT recently, was worried about his girlfriend. This report contradicts common, public knowledge. He reportedly did this out of concern for his girlfriend. This counter narrative says that, once the cops got there on the scene, her story changed and he was arrested.

As I started writing this, the news hit: Jonathan Majors has been charged! People magazine dropped a bomb. Here are the charges: “three counts of assault in the third degree, aggravated harassment in the second degree, three counts of attempted assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree.”

There must be some police sources that are saying some other stuff, at least to ABC 7. They said, “The
victim informed police she was assaulted,” a police spokesperson said in a statement. According to police sources, the actor called 911 himself to report his concern about his girlfriend, whom
he lives with. However, when police arrived, the girlfriend allegedly told a different story, saying that she and Majors were in a cab on the way home from a bar in Brooklyn when he physically attacked her, the police sources told ABC News on Sunday.”

It looks crazy for him now.

The other part of my rumors, is I was told that he was ready to sue various new corporations that had “mis-reported” that case against him. Now that he has been formally charged, I do not think that will hold a lot of weight. He’s going to show up in court, but not for suing the media. I think he’s going to have to push the line all the way to trial.

His lawyer also issued a statement to the media, re-asserting that he is innocent.

“We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently. This evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations.”

If he and his lawyers are about that life in the way they said and have irrefutable evidence, they are going to have to show and prove now. I hope he did not do what he is accused of. This would be the dumbest fumble in a long time and it would confirm what they are saying: he’s a POS abuser.

Hopefully he is not, for the sake of men and women worldwide!

Questlove Links With Disney To Reimagine “The Artistocats”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Questlove, a multi-faceted creative force, is preparing to direct a fresh take on Disney’s beloved classic, “The Aristocats,” as revealed by Deadline.

Besides directing, he will also serve as executive producer and music supervisor for this live-action/animated hybrid. Joining him as executive producers are Roots band member Black Thought, Quest’s manager Shawn Gee, and Zarah Zohlman, representing Two One Five Entertainment.

The 1970 animated gem, The Aristocats, follows the journey of an elegant Parisian cat family poised to inherit a substantial fortune from their affectionate owner.

When their envious butler kidnaps the highborn felines and leaves them in the countryside, they must join forces with a charming tomcat to return home before it’s too late.

Questlove, a celebrated founding member of the renowned Philadelphia hip-hop group The Roots, made his directorial debut with “Summer of Soul,” an engaging documentary on the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival.

The film received critical acclaim at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, capturing the esteemed Grand Jury Prize and ultimately claiming a 2022 Oscar.

The Roots started with “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” in 2008 and have been the house band on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” since 2014, further cementing their status as a versatile and influential musical act.

Questlove has ventured into various creative domains recently, including founding his book imprint, AUWA.

With his foray into feature film directing, Questlove continues to solidify his reputation as a dynamic artist and pioneering entrepreneur.

6ix9ine May Have A Bounty On His Head, Jermaine Dupri Says, As New Aftermath Footage Emerges

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was brutally beaten at a South Florida gym last week, leaving him with severe injuries that led to his hospitalization.

Amid speculation about the rapper’s controversial past and “snitch” reputation, Atlanta producer Jermaine Dupri shared his thoughts on the situation in a recent interview with Page Six, suggesting that a bounty might have been placed on 6ix9ine’s head.

During the interview, Dupri discussed the motivation behind the violent incident.

“It’s almost like if you see him out, it’s that ‘let’s get him’… type of mentality,” he told Page Six. The producer also shared his theory on the potential reward for the attackers.

https://youtu.be/74r9FGcKDsI

“It feels like you get rewarded. I feel like it was like a bounty out for that. Like first person that records Tekashi 6ix9ine getting beat up, they are going to get money or something like that,” Jermaine Dupri speculated to Page Six.

J.D. expressed his concerns about the harmful influence of social media and the desire for attention, which may have played a role in the assault.

“People will reach and want to be the first person to do it and attack, to record to be the first to post, and I’m gonna win. But you’re not gonna get nothing. I just feel like the internet has the black and brown people really confused at this point in time,” Dupri said.

The connection between the attack on Tekashi 6ix9ine and the 2018 RICO charges against him is still unclear. The rapper was arrested on multiple RICO charges in 2018, which were related to his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.

He was released from prison in 2020 after testifying against several gang members, leading to his “snitch” label within the rap community.

Whether the assault is connected to these previous legal issues remains to be seen and the police are still looking for the perpetrators of the assault.

The thing that I like best about this EP is just how genuine it really is. Da Kid Emm draws inspiration from his own family, using them to motivate him to pursue a full-time career in music. As well as, let’s all be truthful, which of us hasn’t dreamed of quitting our current job and embracing our hobbies, and giving it everything we’ve got?

Did That T.I. Situation Lead To Boosie Leaving Atlanta?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

I am probably starting rumors here. BUT…lets get into it. Lil Boosie made the revelation that he is leaving the city of Atlanta. I do not know how long he has been there, but he’s been there long enough to befriend T.I., one of the kings of the city. He made this revelation on Instagram and it was picked up by those that care. And those that care are talking.

Check out what he had to say.

So, he says he is leaving The A (the center of the Black Universe) for Las Vegas? Vegas is what I would regard as the center of the world of debauchery. That may not be the outskirts, but it certainly is the middle of a lot of base stuff like gambling and prostitution. Anyway, what does Lil Boosie see there? Or is it about what he sees in Atlanta?

I definitely do not have the answer. But I do have some thoughts. It could have been a bit uncomfortable for Boosie in Atlanta. He called T.I. out in an interview with DJ Vlad and subsequently blew up their joint album project. For the record, I am mad at Boosie for that. I was looking forward to it. Now we get nothing at all. I hope Tip keeps is bars and drops an ep or something for us. Anyway, could Boosie be feeling some discomfort? By the way, this does not have to be overt threats or harassment. It could easily be a preemptive move to avoid something disastrous.

Best of luck to them all.

By the way, RIP to Mr. Clay Evans, who was Tip’s manager. Nobody in the city even cares about this right now. From what I have read, people really loved him as a positive dude for the city.

TMMYX and Nyck Caution: Putting Down the Vices to Take Over the Hip-Hop Scene

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

It takes more than talent and dedication to succeed in pursuing one’s goals. What you decide to do and how you change your routine also factor in. TMMYX and Nyck Caution, two rising stars gaining traction in the music industry thanks to their high-profile collaborations and worldwide notoriety, have had to overcome negative habits to succeed. 

Many creative people are stressed by living up to the “rockstar” stereotype. It’s easy to get into a destructive pattern of behavior when temptations like drugs, alcohol, and other vices are so readily available. Yet, TMMYX and Nyck Caution knew that prioritizing their health would help them influence the music industry. 

To quote a recent interview, TMMYX said, “If I wanted to make an actual difference with my music, I needed to make sure I was in good shape first. That meant giving up drugs and alcohol and devoting myself fully to my work.” A similar view was expressed by Nyck Caution, who further stated, “What makes this event so special isn’t limited to the tunes. Being an inspiration to those around you and improving the world are important goals.” 

Their hard work and dedication to bettering themselves have paid off. As an original PRO ERA member, Nyck Caution’s work has been heard by millions of people through services like Spotify and YouTube. Joey Bada$$, Denzel Curry, and Gashi are among the musicians he has worked with. On the other hand, TMMYX won 2019’s Power105.1 live performance competition and has previously opened for Uncle Murda. He worked with PHOR of Vh1’s Black Ink Chicago on a track in 2021, and he’s now writing a tune with Pro Era’s Nyck Caution for release in 2023. 

It’s about more than just the money for these creators, though. They’re also dedicated to giving their songs more meaning. TMMYX and Nyck Caution have teamed up for a new project, and the lyrics showcase the musicians’ maturation as lyricists. They are shown in the video reading up in preparation for recording songs with a deeper meaning: they want to stop drinking and using drugs. They precede the flashy style of typical New York icons in favour of something more profound and significant. 

Respecting one’s artistic vision is paramount for TMMYX and Nyck Caution. “What really matters is keeping true to oneself,” explains Nyck Caution. The music will help you find yourself before the streams do. 

Forward-thinking TMMYX plans to expand his fan base and reach more music fans, and Nyck Caution is motivated by a desire to maintain his legacy as an inspirational figure. 

TMMYX and Nyck Caution show what it means to break harmful habits and stay true to yourself in a world where the urge to conform and fit in can be overpowering. Their dedication to their art and message is admirable, and it’s easy to see that they’ll significantly impact the music industry as a result

AKA Update: Authorities Say No Arrests Have Been Made In Rapper’s Murder

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Lawyers for deceased South African rapper AKA wants the world to know there has been no arrest for his murder. These comments dispute rumors circulating on Sunday, March 26 that asserts an arrest was made in Cape Town.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, AKA, whose real name is Kiernan Forbes, was murdered on the evening of February 10, down outside the Wish restaurant on Florida Road in Durban.

The night of his death, he was scheduled to perform at YUGO, a popular nightclub in the city. Before the show, he decided to eat dinner with friends before being attacked outside the restaurant.

Also killed in the attack was celebrity chef Tebello “Tibz” Motsoane, Times Live reports.

According to Sunday World, attorney Rudolph Baloyi, the legal representative for the late rapper and his estate, says over the weekend various media outlets have reported that three suspects have been detained by authorities and that is untrue.

He said, “No, it is not true. No suspects have been arrested in connection with my client’s murder case.”

Captain FC van Wyk, the media liaison officer for the police in Western, confirmed Baloyi’s statement and shared that the police in KwaZulu-Natal are investigating the crime. Van Wyk directed further questions to the agency in an effort to clear up confusion and streamline information distribution.

Colonel Robert Netshiunda, the KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson, also denied anyone has been arrested, asking, “Where are you guys getting this [information]? There has been no update as yet regarding the case.”

According to sources, like Anwar “Dogg” Khan, the rapper’s former bodyguard, AKA’s security protocol was breached.

“In my absence, protocol was breached. Kiernan was called and invited to go to Florida Road’s Wish restaurant, which he accepted,” said Khan in an interview on Tuesday, March 21. “Had I been there, protocol would not have been breached, simply because that call would’ve come through the road manager.”

Damson Idris And Lori Harvey Let People Know They Are Still In Love

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

The Internet is a beast!! They will tear you apart when they want to. Sometimes they will pay for your funeral, but mostly they want to rip your heart out. That said…Damson and Lori Harvey have endured! Last week, “The Net” had the lovebirds all broken up after a mere three months. More importantly, they had broke up after sharing a slice of oxtail pizza in Brooklyn! I don’t know why she was the one to usher this for the Brit, but she did. Salute.

I hate “sources” sometimes, but not mine, of course. The so-called sources claimed Lori and Damson broke up after that short period. And the internet ran with it like a 100-yard dash with all the jokes to go along with it. The jokes were pretty funny. On the flip side, the other gossip has proven to be less interested to these digital rages. That is: they are still together.

I almost feel like they are running game on the tabloids.

Damson Idris and Lori Harvey were spotted together at a recent SZA concert, walking hand-in-hand. They are lovers still and the internet hates it. They want him to be a sucker and her to be an industry hoe. But no – they are great together and I am happy for them.

The couple attended SZA’s concert where they were walking hand-in-hand. Bro, recently explained his stance on all of this. “You don’t always have to show the world your personal life and that what you do for a living is an extension of yourself, and that’s your baby. And you need to protect that. You also need to protect your personal self too,” he told Rolling Stone.

This is Damson to the press.

Top Dawg: Black Hippy Owes Fans An Album Or EP

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

West Coast rappers Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q, and Ab-Soul make up the supergroup known as Black Hippy.

Fans of the collective have been waiting for the four emcees to officially present a body of work for years. Top Dawg Entertainment CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith has now offered some credence that a BH project could see the light of day.

This morning, Top Dawg began answering questions on Twitter. One social media user asked the record executive if the public will ever get a new Black Hippy remix. Tiffith responded, “I think they will… They owe y’all an album or EP.”

Another person posted, “Don’t give us hope, man.” Top Dawg quoted that tweet and added, “I hope for s### [every day].” Additionally, Top Dawd named “Vice City” his personal favorite track by Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, and Kendrick Lamar.

“Vice City” lives on Jay Rock’s second studio album, 90059, which came out in September 2015. The Joe Weil-directed music video for the Top Dawg Entertainment posse cut features all four Black Hippy members.

Black Hippy also joined forces for other tracks like “Black Lip Bastard (Remix)” by Ab-Soul, “The Recipe (Remix)” by Kendrick Lamar, and “That Part (Remix)” by ScHoolboy Q. Plus, they all spit bars in the well-received TDE cypher at the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards.

Back in 2017, ScHoolboy Q downplayed the idea of Black Hippy ever releasing a full-length project. The South Central Los Angeles native even suggested Top Dawg’s desire for the four stars to unite on an album would not ensure the idea would come to fruition.

“I can’t say that we’ll be in the studio getting a Black Hippy album ready. No matter how much Top [Dawg] wants it to happen, no matter how much [then-TDE Co-President Dave Free] and the fans want it to happen – the chances of us getting into the studio together working on Black Hippy is slim because it’s just too much going on,” expressed ScHoolboy Q.

Six months later, The L.A. Leakers questioned Jay Rock about Black Hippy. The Power 106 radio hosts even called Top Dawg to ask him when the potential BH album would drop. The TDE boss said at the time, “If I tell you, I gotta kill you.”

“From food stamps and welfare to a m############ mansion, baby. Welcome to the Bobby Boy mansion. This is my crib, and I’m gonna give you m############ a tour,” said Logic in the opening moments of a new video posted on his YouTube channel.

Maryland-bred rapper Logic recreated the MTV Cribs documentary television show for the latest promotional content for his College Park album. The 33-year-old rapper walks around the residence as the camera follows him to document the home.

Viewers get to see several rooms in the house, including the kitchen, dining room, bathroom, studio, theater, and Logic’s office. His pregnant wife, Brittney Noell, also appears on the screen during the tour.

“I’m gonna be honest. I always wanted to do an MTV Cribs. Half of y’all m############ don’t even know what I’m talking about because you’re too young to know,” stated Logic, addressing his younger fans.

MTV Cribs debuted on the MTV cable channel in September 2000. One version of the program also ran on CMT as CMT Cribs. MTV revived Cribs in 2021 with home tours by Big Sean, Rick Ross, Nick Young, Tia Mowry, Evan Ross, and more.

The initial MTV Cribs run from 2000 to 2009 featured some classic TV moments. Hip Hop stars such as Lil Wayne & Birdman, 50 Cent, and Bow Wow made appearances. Redman’s Cribs tour of his Staten Island house is perhaps the most memorable episode of the entire series.

Logic’s “MTV Cribs” video has amassed around 62,000 views on YouTube since its premiere on March 25. The rhymer, also known as Bobby Tarantino, dropped the College Park studio LP on February 24. College Park features RZA, Redman, Statik Selektah, Joey Bada$$, Bun B, Lil Keke, and other acts.

Tyrese’s Girlfriend Says ‘Fast & Furious’ Star Paul Walker Was More Her Type

Tyrese Gibson and Zelie Timothy took to social media to explain how the couple initially met. A clip from the Instagram Live session went viral after Timothy mentioned her boyfriend’s deceased Fast & Furious co-star Paul Walker.

“[Tyrese] wasn’t my type at all. My type was actually Paul Walker. Rest in peace,” said Zelie Timothy while laughing. “He wasn’t my type at all. And my type is not ‘white.’ I’m just saying I was more interested in Paul in every Fast & Furious [movie].”

“Don’t touch me,” responded Tyrese. Timothy then continued, “Even when I met [Tyrese], I was like, ‘He’s kind of old.’ I just like his smile. It’s pretty cool. His personality was okay, but he didn’t understand the Instagram model thing, so he would always talk down on Instagram models.”

At one point, Tyrese seemingly expressed frustration over the Instagram Live conversation with Zelie Timothy. The 44-year-old entertainer added, “This went really bad. This just went really bad, really fast. I’m getting off Live… So you wanted the homie. You didn’t want me.”

Paul Walker and Tyrese starred in several Fast & Furious films together. Both actors appeared in 2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, and Furious 7. Walker passed away in 2013 before Furious 7 hit theaters two years later.

Tyrese Gibson married Norma Mitchell in 2007 before separating in 2009. They had one child together. Tyrese also married Samantha Lee on Valentine’s Day in 2017. He had one child with Lee before they announced their divorce in 2020.

While testifying against his co-defendants in a New York federal trial, Tekashi 6ix9ine also mentioned other rappers not directly associated with the 2019 case. Harlem’s Jim Jones was one of those people 6ix9ine labeled a Bloods gang member in open court.

Last week, footage of men attacking 6ix9ine inside a LA Fitness gym in South Florida spread across the internet. TMZ recently caught up with Jim Jones to get his thoughts on the incident that led to Tekashi being hospitalized.

“I gotta be sturdy out here, ya heard? I gotta move tactical out here, ya heard? Sturdy!” said Jim Jones as he danced in front of the camera. The Dipset Capo also stated, “Maybe it was the wrong type of gym… I be working out every day.”

In addition, Jim Jones responded to the 6ix9ine beatdown by adding, “I’m a grown man. I don’t spend my time doing none of that. I don’t really care about none of that. That holds no merit in my life. This whole thing played out for people on TV. Everybody got their ideas… I don’t give a…”

6ix9ine Turned On The Nine Trey Gangsters

Federal prosecutors charged Tekashi 6ix9ine (born Daniel Hernandez) with racketeering and firearm possession. The Brooklyn-raised entertainer initially pleaded not guilty in the case. The government also indicted other alleged members of the Nine Trey Gangster Bloods gang.

“As alleged in the indictment, this gang, which included platinum-selling rap artist Tekashi 6ix9ine, wreaked havoc on New York City, engaging in brazen acts of violence,” stated then-U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman at the time of the defendants’ arrest in 2018.

6ix9ine eventually changed his plea to guilty on all nine charges and admitted to being a member of the Nine Trey Gangsters. The TattleTales album creator decided to cooperate with the prosecution as part of a plea deal to secure a reduced sentence.

Throughout his music career, Tekashi feuded with numerous other rap stars including Chief Keef, Casanova, G Herbo, The Game, Trippie Redd, and YG. However, 6ix9ine did receive backing from Nicki Minaj. Their “Trollz” collaboration debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2020.
