A man convicted in the kidnapping of Tekashi 6ix 9ine was sentenced to 24 years in prison.
More details below:
U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, announced the sentence for Anthony Ellison, and cited his leadership role in gang activity nationwide as a cause for the sentence in addition to the kidnapping of 6ix9nine and slashing another man’s face.
Prosecutors said that Ellison was a leader of the of a violent faction of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
Ellison told the judge (quote via Billboard):
“I’m not an angel but I’m not a monster. I do have faults. I am human.”
After being arrested himself, 6ix9ine pleaded guilty and become a cooperator.
During Ellison’s trial last year, the rapper testified about his involvement with the gang. He described the kidnapping, as Ellison and another man forced him into a stolen car at gunpoint.
The men ultimately drive 6ix9ine home, stole a bag of jewelry, and released the ‘Trollz’ rapper a few blocks away from his house.

“Don’t call me angel, now You paid the price, yea you heard me right” this song is for you, rainbow freak
24 years seems like a lot for stealing jewelry and then dropping off the victim unharmed. I know people who kill people who didn’t get 24 years.
Involuntary manslaughter charges can not be compared to KIDNAPPING at Gunpoint , stealing jewlry, his leadership role in gang activity nationwide, & slashing another man’s face. Who knows about his other convictions. He should get atleast 15 years at minimum, 24 sounds just. 69 almost lost his life, according to him, this man wanted him dead, he only made it out alive cuz he managed to get lucky and escape
grammar check
Lmfaoooo@ “I have faults. I’m human”
You’re responsible for people being killed. Goodbye
