One day after 6ix9ine began testifying against his former Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, audio of the rapper’s testimony has surfaced online.
In the leaked clip, Tekashi can be heard telling the court that he’s 23 years old. He also mentions his aliases, including Tekashi and Tekashi69. He says that he agreed to plead guilty to “violent crimes, shootings, and drug distribution” as part of his cooperation with the feds which occurred on Nov. 19, “the day after we was taken down.”
On Tuesday, the rainbow-haired rapper took the stand in Manhattan federal court to testify against Nine Trey Bloods members Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and Anthony “Harv” Ellison. 69 also ID’d Trippie Redd as a gang member from a rival Bloods sect.
During his second day of testimony, he claims the Nine Trey Bloods delivered a beatdown on Trippie. Tekashi testified he and Trippie were on the same label and collaborated, but there was a lot of jealousy between the two that led to online disputes and even physical violence.
6ix9ine says he told his former manager, Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, that he wanted to target Trippie. Shotti then helped orchestrate an attack on the “Topanga” rapper at his hotel, while Tekashi waited inside the vehicle. Tekashi said defendant Anthony “Harv” Ellison punched Trippie in the mouth. Harv became 6ix9ine’s bodyguard from that point on.
As part of his testimony, Tekashi also revealed the monetary structure of his relationship with the Nine Trey Bloods. He says he would book shows and appearances and the gang would give him at least half. For example, if he made $250,000, they would give him $185,000 and keep the rest.
Tekashi was facing a minimum of 47 years in prison, but he will likely receive a reduced sentence in return for his cooperation.
After testifying that Trippie Redd was a member of a rival gang, Tekashi has called out Jim Jones for his affiliation with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. He made the revelation while taking the stand during the third day of his trial in Manhattan federal court on Thursday.
“Who is Jim Jones?” the prosecutor asked, to which 69 responded, “He’s a retired rapper.”
The prosecutor then asked if the Dipset rapper was a member of the Nine Trey Bloods. “Yes,” replied 6ix9ine.

During Thursday’s trial, where 6ix9ine is testifying against two members of his former gang, Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and Anthony “Harv” Ellison, prosecutors played the dash cam footage from the July 2018 kidnapping.
The video starts with a car crashing into the back of an SUV carrying Tekashi, who is seated in the front passenger seat. Two men try to force him him out of the vehicle, while 6ix9ine’s ex-bodyguard, Ellison, can be heard telling the rapper: “Give me your money” and “Get in the car. We gonna shoot you!”
Ellison put Tekashi into his car and drove off. Tekashi’s driver attempted to follow Ellison’s car for a few blocks, but eventually decided to seek help from the police. Ellison went to Tekashi’s home, where Tekashi’s girlfriend was seen handing him a bag of money and jewelry. Tekashi was eventually released after being pistol-whipped, which landed him in the hospital.
6ix9ine was facing a minimum of 47 years in prison, but it appears that he will be released at the beginning of next year in return for cooperating with the feds.
