New details have emerged from the trial of notorious gangsta NYC rapper turned police informant Tekashi 6ix9ine’s trial, which has seen him testify against numerous acquaintances in his effort to avoid five decades in prison.
The ‘Fefe’ rapper was originally looking at a minimum of 47 years behind bars in his racketeering case but he took a plea deal, which meant if he began snitching on the activities of criminal associates he would get a shorter sentence.
6ix9ine – born Daniel Hernandez – gave his testimony after being jailed almost a year ago (November 2018). He became a gang member in November 2017 and took part in violent crimes, including shootings, assaults and drug trafficking. In exchange, the gang would give him protection and he would bankroll their criminal activities through his booming music career.
However, as the trial continues, Hernandez appears to be taking his police cooperation far further than anyone could have imagined.
He has testified that a number of other rappers and celebrities were involved in his criminal network, including NBA Stars and hip hop superstar Cardi B.
6ix9ine has even gone as far as giving up people for things that aren’t even illegal and are just controversial. Such as providing the FBI with detailed information into former Australian spin bowler Shane Warne’s most recent fivesome in London.
Australian actor Chris Hemsworth is also now implicated in the trial, after 6ix9ine told detectives that he had solid evidence that proves the Thor star had begun renovations on his Byron Bay residence without necessary council approval.
However, the most shocking intelligence shared with police by the rapper involves the most recent signing for the Tongan Rugby League team.
Tekashi 6ix9ine told detectives that controversial Australian tri-code footballer Israel Folau and his brother John would be selected to feature against the Kangaroos and Great Britain later this year – according to sources he has in NRL circles.
Folau — who had his Rugby Australia contract ripped up after making controversial social media posts about homosexuals and others who he said would go to hell — has since clarified his intention to play rugby league for Tonga, but appeared disappointed that Tekashi 6ix9ine had snitched on his home country.
“You can add another one to that list I put on Instagram” said Izzy.
“Drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, idolaters AND motherfucking snitches”
