Tekashi 6ix9ine was first arrested on racketeering charges in November 2018, but his legal woes started long before that.
The 23-year-old, who was arrested on a federal indictment back in November 2018, was issued a two-year prison sentence on racketeering charges related to his role in the New York gang, Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
6ix9ine expressed remorse for his part in the several violent crimes listed against him, ranging from his role in a shoot out in Times Square in March 2018 followed by another at Barclay's Center in April 2018, which injured two people, and a third near the W Hotel in June 2018. In a letter to U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, 6ix9ine apologized for"misrepresenting myself" by joining a gang and participating in crimes, according to CNN.
Nine Trey often received shout outs in 6ix9ine's music, and the rapper acknowledged in court his attachment to the gang was only means to boost his street cred in his music. However, he seemed to distance himself from the organization during the trial by agreeing to testify against members of the gang in hopes of a sentence more lenient than the 47 years he was initially facing.
