SOHH Squad
New York rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine didn’t lie when he claimed his former team jacked him for a grip. New reports claim 6ix9ine’s ex-management really stole millions of dollars from him.
According to reports, Tek’s now-distanced affiliates kept over $2 million from him with behind the scenes touring deals.
Tekashi 6ix9ine is spending Thanksgiving behind bars as both an accused criminal and a crime victim said by police to have been fleeced of $2.2 million by his own manager. The rapper’s manager, Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, is also behind bars, having been indicted along with Tekashi and four associates as members of the 9 Trey Gangsta Bloods. The five of them are charged with racketeering and violent crimes involving firearms. Each faces a minimum of 32 years in prison, a maximum of life. (The Daily Beast)
Prior to landing behind bars, 6ix9ine revealed his ex-squad hid concert money from him.
“There’s so much money out here to be stealing. So these dirty promoters, right- they’re dirty, I go out and they’re like, ‘Yo, these venues are scared of you.’ Most of the money is going to security and the local police because they don’t want you there – so I’m like, ‘I want to clean my name. Let’s get it started.’ So I’m in LA, let’s just say with some people and they’re like, ‘Come to our show here.’ I say I’m not coming to the show. They say, ‘How come you’re not coming to the show. It’s 60,000 [dollars].’ My rate, everybody knows my rate is 100k and over. They call me and say, ‘Are you crazy? We just put the 80,000 [dollars deposit] in.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ They’re like, ‘Yeah.’ These dirty a** f*cking promoters called me and said ‘Yo, his mom lives at this address.’ Give them my address and said, ‘If he doesn’t do the show, go do something to his mother.’ I talked to the guy and said, ‘How many shows you got?’ He said, ‘Yo, I got most of the shows on this thing.’ I said, ‘Aight, how much?’ He said we got you for a couple dates. You just signed to 3.6 million [dollars]. I said, ‘What?’ You just did these couple of dates but we didn’t low-ball you. It’s 3.6 million for the 15 dates. So it’s not 300,000?” (“The Breakfast Club”)
Last week, 6ix9ine announced his decision to cut ties with his entire team and nixed a nationwide tour.
“What’s up everybody? I’m letting everybody know that I cancelled my whole tour. The American dates is not happening. It’s not going down. Austin, Texas, I think I was supposed to be there today. I’m not going to there. I spoke to the promoters – we are going to be in business. I am going to be in Austin, Texas. I fired everybody in my team. I’ve got no manager, no booking agent, no PR, no publicist, I don’t got nobody on my team. It’s just me. I want everybody to know if you’re booking shows, do not book shows unless I say ‘this’ show is going to be booked with this person. They will steal your money, they’re not me, I’m not signing no f*cking contracts that don’t got nothing to do with me. Whoever is doing shows for Tekashi 6ix9ine is stealing your f*cking money. So if you need shows, I will let people know I’m doing shows or if you not on the phone with me, do not book that show because it is not me. I fired everybody. I don’t give a f*ck who you used to see me with. They’re no longer around. It’s a f**king dub. November 23 the album drops.”
