Tekashi69 Testifies Against Gang: We Did ‘a Lot of Crimes’
It took gangbanging rapper Tekashi69 just one day after his arrest to decide he was going to cooperate with the feds—and lay out for a jury how the Nine Trey Bloods jump-started his career, which he then used to bankroll the crew.
“I got the street credibility. I would say I got my career,” the hip-hop star testified Tuesday in a Manhattan federal courtroom where two of his ex-associates are on trial.
“I knew I had a winning formula for my music videos: repeat the gang image. That’s what people liked.”
