Tekashi 6ix9ine Identifies Cardi B And Jim Jones As Nine Trey Members And More Takeaways (Day 3) (2024)

Eventful is the best way to describe the details of Tekashi's witness testimony.

Daniel “Tekashi 6ix9ine” Hernandez’s witness testimony continues to shock the masses. On Thursday (Sept. 19), the rapper took the stand again to elaborate on his kidnapping as well as interviews he gave about his broken relationship with members of the Nine Trey gang.

Interviews by Angie Martinez and Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Clubwere analyzed due to the rapper’s subtle jabs towards his former manager Shotti and defendant Anthony “Harv” Ellison. 6ix9ine’s social media personality was also broken down as he explained the definitions of trolling and dry snitching.

But perhaps the most questionable part of his testimony arrived when he name-dropped Cardi B and Jim Jones as members of the Nine Trey Gangster Bloods.

Below are some of the biggest takeaways from today.
