Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has pleaded guilty to federal weapons and racketeering charges, and is reportedly cooperating with federal authorities against fellow members of the violent gang Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. He admitted to a variety of crimes as part of his plea deal, including selling a kilogram of heroin in Brooklyn and helping in the attempt to kill a rival gang member, according to the New York Daily News. It’s not clear what his cooperation might mean for his sentence, which as of now includes a mandatory minimum of 47 years in prison. “In the fall of 2017, I met and joined the Nine Trey Blood Gang. As a member of Nine Trey, the enterprise engaged in such activities including shooting at people, robbing people, and at times drug trafficking,” he said, according to the Daily News.
