Fox News is reporting that 6ix9ine has pleaded not guilty to charges that he’s a violent, drug-dealing gang member.According to the media house, the rapper returned to the Manhattan federal court a week after they were indicted on racketeering and firearms charges. He’s due to appear back in court on 4 September, 2019, according to TMZ, meaning the rapper will likely spend close to a year in prison awaiting his moment in front of the judge for charges, in which he faces life in prison if found guilty. A pre-trial conference is set for January 22, 2019 and the trial is scheduled for September 4, 2019, according to a spokesperson for the United States Department of Justice. ‘Showing reckless indifference to others’ safety, members of the gang were allegedly involved in robberies and shootings, including a shooting inside the crowded Barclay’s Center, and a shooting in which an innocent bystander was hit.’

Lance Lazzaro said in regards to his client: ‘Daniel Hernandez is completely innocent of all charges being brought against him.’

Tekashi, whose music video with Kanye West and Nicki Minaj was hit by bullets earlier this month (no one was hurt), claimed he only ‘pretends’ to be a gangster to sell his music. “Of course you have to keep in mind that he is not here to promote it, and also he’s not here to make sure it’s released in the capacity that he wants it to be released, not to mention there’s a case hanging over his head,” Akademiks said.
