6ix9ine has struck a plea deal.
Tekashi 6ix9ine has been in federal prison since November after getting indicted on firearms and racketeering charges.
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 TMZ, Tekashi 6ix9ine pleaded guilty to 9 counts in his federal case. The rapper reportedly struck a deal with prosecutors on Jan. 23rd. The rapper pleaded guilty to counts of conspiracy, racketeering, firearms offenses, drug offenses, and drug trafficking.
Newly unsealed federal documents revealed that he was involved with trafficking heroin, fentanyl, ecstasy, amphetamines, and weed. As for the conspiracy counts, officials said those consisted of 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.
