6ix9ine Pleads Guilty in Federal Racketeering Case
6ix9ine is copping a plea.
The rapper has struck a deal in his federal racketeering case and pled guilty to nine counts of racketeering, conspiracy, firearms offenses, and narcotics trafficking.
He was indicted back in November and had been facing the possibility of life in prison. He faces a minimum sentence of 47 years behind bars, but will likely receive significantly less due to his cooperation with the feds.
According to federal docs obtained by TMZ, 6ix9ine was involved in dealing heroin, fentanyl, ecstasy, amphetamines, and marijuana. The conspiracy reportedly consisted of multiple acts of murder, robbery, and extortion.
Earlier this week, three of his former associates—Kintea McKenzie, Anthony Ellison, and Denard Butler—were indicted in connection with the crimes. Tekashi spoke with investigators and allegedly ratted out McKenzie (aka Kooda B) as the gunman in the attempted shooting of Chief Keef in New York City in June 2018.
6ix9ine is scheduled to be sentenced on January 24, 2020.
