Rapper Daniel Hernandez aka 6ix9ine or Tekashi 6ix9ine, just may be in some (more) hot water. New video released by TMZ shows the New York rapper on a FaceTime call with Chief Keef's cousin, Tadoe where he's asked if he will be at Keefs New York hotel. After the phone call ends, 6ix9ine seemingly brags that he has a $30,000 bounty out on Tadoe. The video is time-stamped back in May, days before Chief Keef was shot at near his NYC hotel. TMZ reports that the two rappers had a bad past and frequently beefed with each other over social media. Tekashi denied claims of having anything to do with the shooting, however authorities did question him, reports say.
Just days ago, Tekashi was arrested by ATF agents in NYC on a federal charge. 6ix9ine along with his recently fired crew, are all facing racketeering and firearms charges. Authorities report that the rapper conspired to commit armed robberies, shootings and drug deals.
This is a tough situation for Tekashi to be in considering early this year, the judge in his sexual abuse case gave him probation with a stipulation to stay out of trouble or its jail time.
Back in August, Tekashi used his social platform to get some things off of his chest. He ranted about the American justice system and why he feels he's a victim of it.
Tekashi says that when he went to court, he did not have $10,000 to pay for a lawyer and instead had to settle for a public defender.
"Three and a half years ago, I'm not this famous rapper that has $10,000 to pay for a private lawyer. I had to settle for a public defendant - a court-ordered lawyer, know what I'm saying? At this time, I'm scared, know what I'm saying? They are saying, 'You, you're going to get 15 years.' I'm like, 'No, I got a daughter on the way.' This is 2015, I'm like 18-years-old, I'm like, 'No, give me anything but jail time.' Know what I'm saying?
In the video, he states that he is another minority who is a victim of the court system.
"If you look into the case, right, this is just another story of a minority, of a youth being under the court system built for me to fail. For the people saying, 'Yo Tekashi, yo 69 you not taking it serious,' I am. Trust me, I am. I'm just not going to let that affect me."
