CONTROVERSIAL rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has risked revealing his location after sharing a picture on Instagram of his balcony.
The 24-year-old rapper posed with wads of cash on a property balcony and captioned the snap: “DESCRIBE ME IN ONE WORD.”
But his decision may put his location at risk after he struck a plea deal with prosecutors to testify against fellow gang members Anthony ‘Harv’ Ellison and Aljermiah ‘Nuke’ Mack in 2019.
Following the deal, he was sentenced to just two years in jail, 13 months of which he had already served.
The rapper has a complex criminal history, and is associated with the Nine Trey Gansta Blood gang of New York – labelled a “violent city gang” by the US Attorney Office.
He was originally arrested on racketeering charges and could have faced up to 47 years in prison.
On Friday he broke Instagram records after two million people tuned in to watch his livestream following his release from prison.
Tekashi – real name Daniel Fernandez – shared an incredible rant where he defended his cooperation with prosecutors, which saw his jail sentence reduced.
During the Instagram Live rant, he claimed he was “the biggest artist in the world” and denied that he was a “snitch” after testifying against members of the gang in court.
He said: “I appreciate every little thing and I did nothing wrong. Yes, I didn’t need all of that beef. I’m the biggest artist in the f***ing world.”
Tekashi added that he didn’t owe loyalty to anyone from his gang, as they didn’t show it to him in return.
He ranted: “Where was the loyalty when you were caught on the wire tap trying to kill me, where was the loyalty when you were trying to kidnap my mother, where was the loyalty when you stole a million dollars from me?
“Where was that? So who broke it first? I get it, don’t fight fire with fire.”
Since his release from jail, Tekashi has been releasing music, with the video featuring the rapper showing off his huge shark necklace as well as his ankle monitor.
