HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Tekashi69’s former manager, Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, had something to say about his ex-client before pleading guilty to weapons charges in federal court yesterday (March 28). In an interview, Shotti called the Brooklyn rapper an “ungrateful rat bastard,” among other colorful language. DJ Pvnch, who used to be Tekashi’s DJ, shared a snippet of a phone call he had with Shotti. Not the best of lucks when the person on the other line is under federal indictment, but that’s another convo for another time. “This n*gga…he broke every code and every rule out this motherf*cka,” said Shotti. “He’s an ungrateful rat bastard, man. It’s just that simple, but I forgive the lil n*gga after all that, ya feel me. It’s all good.” Pvnch quickly deleted the clip, but this is the Internets, and you can hear it below. As part of his plea agreement, Shotti will reportedly be sentenced to 15 years in jail. He better hope the judge doesn’t get word of his comments, just saying. — Photo: Splash<doc-sep>The former manager of 6ix9ine, Kifano "Shotti" Jordan, pleaded guilty to two federal weapons counts on Thursday (March 28). The weapons charges are related to an armed robbery in Manhattan (April 3, 2018), as well as a non-lethal shooting in Brooklyn (April 21, 2018). According to reports, the 36-year-old is facing a minimum prison sentence of 15 years for the two counts. As previously reported, both Jordan and 6ix9ine (born Daniel Hernandez) were among those charged in a high-profile racketeering case that has made countless national headlines since November 2018. Per the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office, during Jordan's plea proceedings, the rapper's former manager admitted to "using and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence" and "discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence." "Today, Kifano Jordan admitted in open court to committing multiple acts of violence in furtherance of the Nine Trey enterprise," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman shared in a statement. "This conduct is simply intolerable." One of Jordan's lawyers, Jeffrey Lichtman, expressed to Vulture how his client was facing a "tough case," especially given the amount and type of evidence, most of which was on video tape. "Had he gone to trial, he would have probably received a mandatory 50-year sentence," Lichtman said. "To be able to get out of it with the 15-year sentence — what the plea agreement calls for — we made the best of a bad situation." As confirmed by Vulture, Jordan also is facing a pending assault case in Manhattan state court. Related 6ix9ine proves that viral culture is too strong As previously reported, 6ix9ine agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, including providing information on "multiple violent" Nine Trey associates. Under his plea agreement, he agreed to "truthfully and completely disclose all information of the activities of himself and others to the U.S. Attorney's Office and that he cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies." While his decision to cooperate with authorities cost him his reputation from artists such as Meek Mill, Snoop Dogg, Offset and more, Jordan's decision to plead guilty could impact the outcome of 6ix9ine's upcoming sentencing. "Mr. Hernandez is going to be happy that the case is going to be wrapping up soon," Dawn Florio, one of his attorneys, shared in a statement. "We're hoping that a lot of the co-defendants plead guilty so everything can be finished." As previously reported, 6ix9ine is facing a minimum sentence of 47 years to life in federal prison.<doc-sep>A third defendant in the 6ix9ine case has pleaded guilty. On Tuesday (April 2), Jensel "Ish" Butler followed in the footsteps of Kifano "Shotti" Jordan and 6ix9ine himself in admitting guilt in the racketeering case. According to court documents obtained by Complex, Butler pleaded guilty to one firearms offense linked to an April 3, 2018 robbery in Midtown Manhattan. 6ix9ine and Jordan had also previously confessed to involvement in the incident. The robbery, as specified in the case's original indictment, took place around West 40th Street and 8th Avenue in Manhattan. 6ix9ine's former friend Scum Lord D!zzy, the founder of Scum Gang, was robbed of his backpack. In addition to Butler, 6ix9ine, and Shotti, the case's latest indictment alleges that Roland "Ro Murda" Martin, Denard "Drama" Butler, and Faheem "Crippy" Walter were also involved. Proceeds from the robbery, including D!zzy's "Scum" backpack, were found during a raid by authorities at an apartment 6ix9ine was renting back in September 2018. The crime Butler pleaded to, according to the latest indictment, is that he "knowingly did use and carry firearms, and in furtherance of such crime did possess firearms, and did aid and abet the use, carrying, and possession of firearms, some of which were brandished." The count carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison, though the actual sentence will be set by the judge. The plea agreement stipulates, however, that "neither a downward nor an upward departure" from the five year term "is warranted." Butler's sentencing is scheduled for July 18.<doc-sep>There's been another guilty plea in the case involving 6ix9ine. Jamel "Mel Murda" Jones, the former associate of 6ix9ine who used to rap under the name Mel Matrix, has taken a plea deal, New York Daily News reported Wednesday. Jones is now the fourth person to plead guilty in the racketeering case involving Brooklyn rapper 6ix9ine. Jensel "Ish" Butler, Kifano "Shotti" Jordan, and 6ix9ine have all previously pleaded guilty. Jones made the plea in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday and admitted to twice helping to move "heroin and fentanyl." Jones is specifically charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy and one count of participating in a narcotics distribution conspiracy. His sentencing is scheduled for July 17. Jones will also be required to make restitution, with the amount to be court-determined at a later date. Furthermore, the agreement stipulates that he is giving up his right to withdrawal and his right to appeal either directly or collaterally. "Today, Jamel Jones admitted in open court to his involvement in Nine Trey and distributing drugs for the gang," U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said. "We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to keep our communities safe and vigorously investigate and prosecute those who bring violence and drugs into our communities." Jones previously made headlines after he was reportedly caught saying that 6ix9ine should be "super violated" while being wiretapped. "Yeah, super violated. Super duper. Ain't no much he could really do unless he run around with 100 armed securities all day," Mel Murda said. The comments came after 6ix9ine fired his entire team and began to distance himself from the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. "[6ix9ine] is trying to dry snitch at the same time, homie," Murda said, per a transcript from TMZ. "But he keep saying, f*ck Tr3way, f*ck that n***a, Tr3yway. Ain't no n***a, Tr3way. F*ck Treway."<doc-sep>
Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine's former manager has lashed out at the musician and sex offender in a now-deleted phone recording. On Thursday, Kifano 'Shotti' Jordan pleaded guilty in court to weapon charges after Tekashi69 reportedly gave many of his associates up to prosecutors as part of a plea deal to reduce his own sentence for firearm and drug crimes. "Today, Kifano Jordan admitted in open court to committing multiple acts of violence," said United States Attorney Geoffey S. Berman. But before appearing in court, Shotti spoke to DJ Pvnch, Tekashi69's former DJ, and expressed some seemingly harsh feelings towards the rapper, including slamming him as an "ungrateful rat". "This n***** he broke every code and every rule," said Shotti. "He's an ungrateful rat bastard man. It's just that simple." But Shotti seems to understand the situation Tekashi69 was in, also saying he forgave the rapper. "I forgive the lil n***** after all that, ya feel me. It's all good." While the phone conversation was uploaded online by DJ Pvnch, it has since been deleted. In February, Tekashi69, an admitted sex offender, detailed his involvement with the Nine Trey gang as part of a plea deal. "As a member of Nine Trey, the enterprise engaged in such activities including shooting at people, robbing people, and at times drug trafficking," Complex reports him as saying. As previously revealed, the guilty plea confirms Tekashi69 paid an associate to shoot at rival rapper Chief Keef. It also reveals his involvement in two other 2018 incidents - an attempted murder on March 20 and a robbery on April 3. Shotti's conviction related to the April 3 robbery. Newshub.
