6ix9ine’s Ex-Manager Shotti Already Has New Legal Muscle

New York rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s former manager Kifano “Shotti” Jordan didn’t waste much time in-between legal representation. New reports claim the jailed hip-hop executive has officially replaced his ex-attorney.

According to reports, Shotti has found new legal muscle to take over where Scott E. Leemon left off.

New York officials announced Leemon will be replaced by James Roth, who represented Shotti at his initial court appearance back in November. “Government counsel is directed to notify Mr. Roth forthwith of this appointment and to advise him of the next scheduled conference in this case (January 22, 2019). Accordingly, Mr. Leemon is relieved as counsel.” (Complex)

A few days ago, reports emerged about Leemon no longer handling Shotti’s publicized federal case.

Leemon, in a letter to Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, said that he only made his initial Nov. 26 court appearance with his now-former client after Shotti and his family “assured” him that a retainer fee would be paid that week. “That never happened,” Leemon said. “It has now been several weeks since that appearance and I still have not received payment.” Leemon added that he was later informed by someone in Shotti’s family that funds were presently being raised ahead of plans to pursue new representation.

Recently, reports emerged about 6ix9ine not planning to snitch in their federal racketeering case.

Lance Lazzaro tells us, “A plea deal is simply off the table, even if the feds offer one.” He says they’re prepared to go trial and prove Tekashi’s innocence. As we reported, prosecutors have pics and videos linking Tekashi and his crew, including Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, to at least 3 armed robberies and/or shootings in Brooklyn earlier this year. (TMZ)

A few weeks ago, West Coast rapper Game shared his feelings about 6ix9ine’s situation.

“What’s happening to that young dude, they’re using him as an example. I wouldn’t wish jail on my worst enemy. I been to jail. I don’t f*ck with jail – jail is to break a real man from who you are. You ain’t got to be no gangster to be a real man. I’m real sympathetic for number one, that man’s daughter and I’m sympathetic to the situation. I don’t like jail. I don’t f*ck with pigs and that’s what it is.” (TMZ)
