6ix9ine is on a roll, much to the detriment of many of his former affiliates.
Born Daniel Hernandez, the ‘Dummy Boy’ rapper is currently facing up to 47 years in prison but could see that time reduced to little as nothing if he cooperates with federal investigators. Having already named rappers Jim Jones and Trippie Redd as gang affiliates, now Hernandez has his sights set on Cardi B.
Rapper-turned-snitch Tekashi 6ix9ine threw rhymesters Cardi B and Jim Jones under the bus as members of the Bloods as he testified about how he used his former crew for fame, on Thursday (September 19).
The 23-year-old rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, ticked off the names of Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods members as he took the stand in Manhattan federal court against reputed associates Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack.

“Here’s the thing. I never really wanted to talk about that, because I always wanted a music deal. I always want to keep my endorsements,” she told GQ just last year.
“When I was 16 years old, I used to hang out with a lot of Bloods. I used to pop off with my homies. And they’d say, ‘Yo, you really get it poppin’. You should come home. You should turn Blood.’ And I did. Yes, I did. And something that–it’s not like, oh, you leave. You don’t leave.”
The issue? Hernandez’s mentioning of the Grammy winner could see her getting some of that unwanted press she’s rapped about as investigators could turn their attention to her to see what she knows. As of time reported Cardi’s not responded to the hoop-la.
