Having already been sentenced to four years probation for the use of a child in a sexual performance (after managing to avoid the sex offender registry) and, last week, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct for a separate assault charge on a New York police officer, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine continues to find himself in trouble with the law. Tekashi has now been arrested by Federal agents on racketeering and firearms charges in conjunction with a joint investigation between the NYPD, Homeland Security, and the Justice Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. According to Vulture, Tekashi’s recently fired manager, Kifano “Shottie” Jordan, bodyguard Faheem “Crippy” Walter, and a third unidentified associate were also arrested.
Racketeering is defined as “the act of getting involved in a dishonest and fraudulent business dealing or offering a service to solve a problem that wouldn’t otherwise exist.” The details of the arrest were not disclosed and are expected to be revealed during the defendants’ arraignment later today.
Sources tell TMZ that 6ix9ine was arrested Sunday night by ATF agents in New York City.
Tekashi just announced his debut album Dummy Boy yesterday, featuring tracks with Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, and Bobby Shmurda.
