Cardi B may have rapped she doesn’t “need more press,” but more press is exactly what she’s gotten thanks to testimonies from an ongoing trial that’s seeing imprisoned rapper 6ix9ine – in cooperation with federal investigators – fire off a list of names of fellow entertainers who are gang-affiliated.

Fans familiar with his case are aware the 23-year-old is facing 47 years in prison for gang-related activity including racketeering.  Reports have it his testimonies as an informant will help reduce, if not completely eliminate, that potential sentence.

Making headlines for pointing fingers to rappers Jim Jones and Trippie Redd for their alleged gang activity (which both parties later denied), 6ix9ine also listed Cardi B (as we reported here) as a member of the Bloods gang potentially connected to illegal activity.  Shortly thereafter, the rapstress’ label home – Atlantic Records – took to press to deny her relationship with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods (click here to read).

The most headline-grabbing endeavor in Hernandez’s favor came in the form of a petition that seeks to convince a judge to reconsider releasing him on bail.
