Tekashi69 Spills on Stand About Times Square Armed Robbery
The rapper Tekashi69 took the stand against his former associates for a second day on Wednesday, testifying about a gang-related armed robbery in Times Square and his inability to hail a getaway cab as police closed in.
The hip-hop artist turned government witness told jurors in Manhattan federal court how after he was snubbed at a record label party in Austin, he and his allies decided to get back at their music-world rivals.
“They tried to embarrass us, so we were going to rob them,” Tekashi said.
