New York rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine is being sued by two publicists for an armed robbery committed by the controversial artist and his crew in 2018, an incident that Tekashi filmed and posted on social media.
Tekashi 6ix9ine Is In More Legal Trouble
The lawsuit is being brought by Seketha Wonzer and Kevin Dozier, who said they had been invited to record a podcast with 50 Cent collaborator DJ Thoro in NYC and wound up being confronted by 6ix9ine’s crew. Tekashi was just released from jail earlier this year for his role in that and other crimes.
A publicist and her assistant sued Tekashi69 over a robbery in a Times Square building. Tekashi dispatched gangsters in the Nine Trey Bloods to settle a score with a rival crew.
6ix9ine Affiliate Sentenced To 4.5 Years For Chief Keef Shooting
Brooklyn rapper Kooda B has been sentenced to 54 months – 4 1/2 years – in prison for his role in Chicago rapper Chief Keef getting shot at in New York in 2018. Kooda B was one of the people ex-convict Tekashi 6ix9ine infamously snitched on when he was facing serious prison time.
Kintea “Kooda B” McKenzie added time to his sentence by claiming in the spring that he was at heightened risk of catching coronavirus at the Metropolitan Correctional Center because of his asthma. Judge Paul Engelmayer agreed and released McKenzie — who was then captured on a YouTube video partying in a cramped apartment, smoking, drinking and dancing. The 22-year-old McKenzie was “doing everything possible to contract coronavrius,” Engelmayer said during his Manhattan Federal Court sentencing conducted remotely due to the pandemic.

COVID-19 Claim Led To Longer Sentence
Earlier this year, 22-year-old Kooda B petitioned to be released from holding due to his asthma increasing his risk of contracting COVID-19. The judge granted the motion, but then Kooda B was caught partying right after getting out. The judge added more time to Kooda’s sentence due to his “pulling one over on the court.”
Tekashi69 pal Kooda B gets 4 1/2 years for Times Square shooting at Chief Keef. “I allowed myself to look up and listen to someone with more success and fame,” Kooda B wrote. “I thought he was a good friend. I was excited he named a song after me.”
Tekashi 6ix9ine Makes YouTube Top 10 List
Tekashi is winning even if he’s mostly staying out of the public’s eye. The hip-hop star is one of a lucky few rap stars to have one of the most popular YouTube music videos of 2020, making the list with “GOOBA.”
This year’s top music videos list is exclusively made up of rap songs that show the continuing prominence of Drake, as well as artists like YoungBoy Never Broke Again, whose rise has primarily taken place on YouTube. The YouTube trends team has pulled the top ten music videos of 2020. As people have been more creative than ever this year, I’d love to share this list in hopes you can share with your team and readers. As we can see Future’s “Life Is Good” featuring Drake is number one. (YouTube)
