According to TMZ , Kintea McKenzie , Anthony Ellison and Denard Butler have indicted in crimes that all share a connection to Tekashi69. Reportedly, McKenzie, who also goes by Kooda B, was indicted soon after Tekashi spoke to investigators, and he was tagged as the shooter in the incident that occurred in Times Square last June. No one was injured, but afterwards footage was revealed of Tekashi essentially putting a $30K bounty on Chief Keef’s cousin, Tadoe . However, according to the authorities, McKenzie was paid $10K to shoot Sosa, but fortunately for the Chicago rapper he missed. McKenzie is still on the lam. Currently, Ellison is in custody for allegedly kidnapping Tekashi (seriously, back in July 2018 ) while Butler got picked up by ATF just today (Jan. 30). Tekashi has been in the clink since November and is facing federal racketeering charges. Considering the Brownsville rapper was an admitted troll and truly not ’bout that life, expect him to keep singing. Otherwise, he’s looking at 32 years to life in prison . — Photo: Getty

Source: MICHAEL CAMPANELLA / Getty The evidence against Tekashi 6ix9ine is mounting but his team is remaining confident. His lawyer has made it clear they are not considering backing down. According to a new report by TMZ the rapper’s attorney will not consider a plea deal. “A plea deal is simply off the table, even if the feds offer one” Lance Lazzaro told the gossip site. This announcement comes as a surprise to many as prosecutors have submitted several photos as evidence to the judge. Included are shots of the Brooklyn rapper, his former associate Kifano “Shotti” Jordan and automatic weapons that places them at armed robberies and shootings that took place earlier this year. According to the court documents police confiscated smartphones from Tekashi’s crew. Once inspected the devices synced up exactly with the GPS locations of the armed robbery on April 3 in Brooklyn. The backpack that is alleged to be stolen was found in Tekashi’s home during a raid in September. An AR-15 rifle was also retrieved from the search of the house. Lazzaro is standing firm about his client’s innocence as none of the footage or visuals show him pulling a trigger or receiving any pilfered goods. He added that 6ix9nine “was never part of a conspiracy, plain and simple. Nor did he ever participate in any incidents that the government has alleged.” You can view the photo evidence here .

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Tekashi 6ix9ine Possibly Facing Life In Prison As you already know by now, Tekashi 69 was taken in by the ATF on charges of racketeering and firearm possession. We now know a little more about the charges — and potential time — that he’s facing. Both are pretty serious, to say the absolute least. According to TMZ , Tekashi is facing 6 counts, including one for firing a gun while committing a crime, which carries a possible life sentence with a mandatory minimum of 25 years served. As for the gun charge in question, the court claims that Tekashi personally committed armed robbery alongside his manager Shottie and two other Blood Gang members on April 3, robbing rival gang members at gunpoint. In addition, according to a 17-page indictment, Tekashi and his associates have been moving heavy drugs, including heroin, fentanyl, MDMA and marijuana throughout the city and committing violent gun crimes to protect the business, retaliate against rival gangmembers, and project a strong image of the Nine Trey Bloods on the streets of Brooklyn. Though Tekashi is only answering to 6 counts under his current indictment, the documents detail crimes dating as far back as 2013. The court claims that among other incidents, he ordered a hit on a rival, which resulted in one person being shot in the foot. SMH. Do you think Tekashi will manage to wiggle his way out of this one, or will he be dying his hair with kool-aid packets in the state pen? Johnnny Nunez/Getty

Source: MARCO BERTORELLO / Getty Despite all of his success, Tekashi 6ix9ine , or Tekashi69 if you’re nasty, has been aligned with the struggle in epic ways. After firing his whole team and canceling a tour, agents for the “Fefe” rapper say they didn’t finesse him out of owed coins and say he lacks an understanding of how money works. The Blast reports : The “Gummo” rapper canceled his tour earlier this week and said he fired his whole team. He also went on “The Breakfast Club” and claimed that he was only getting a few hundred thousand dollars out of a pot of $3.5 million. 6ix9ine said when he refused to take the stage, he was threatened with possible harm being brought on his mother. We’re told the booking agents made it clear that nobody threatened Tekashi or his mother, and claim that all business done was above-board. As for the money, sources involved in the negotiations tell us Tekashi does not understand how fees and expenses work when organizing a nationwide tour. Our sources say the normal percentages were divided up for all the people working tirelessly to organize the tour, including managers, crew, equipment and LOTS of security. We’re told the cut Tekashi was to receive was “very standard.” Our source insisted one of the big issues with money was that Tekashi apparently has a hard time understanding numbers, even when it comes to counting his own stacks of cash. Well it looks like Tekashi either needs to get to studying economics or make sure he vets whoever gets hired next as to not run into a potential struggle in the future. — Photo: Getty
