Jim Jones, Dipset that was openly dancing on Verzuz…was running with Shotty, Casanova Jordan, Mel Matrix, Jamel Jones, Rolling Martin….he was running with all the cats I was running with…you know what Jim Jones did? That n****a did not take care of none of them…shotty was sleeping on a rug…Jim Jones was caught on wiretap telling Jamel…telling the big homie Matrix Jamel Jones to go and get rid of my security, how you shoot him, how they aint got no licensed weapon to carry in New York,” Hernandez explained. “Jim Jones right, he ran with the same n***gas I ran with a decade before I met him. However, on Thursday night, Tekashi again took the time to rat off a list of names of gang members before claiming that Jim Jones wanted him dead and allegedly gave the order to do so. Hernandez referred to Jim Jones as a “retired rapper” who was a member of the Nine Trey gang. When prosecutors asked him to identify the voices on a phone recording that caught some gang members on it, Hernandez quickly pointed out that one of the men on the recording was Jim Jones. During his testimony, 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, told jurors and the court that he was not the only well-known rapper associated with Nine Trey.
The rapper, however, in order to escape jail time, instead listed a number of people who are said to be part of the gang, including Cardi B and Jim Jones. The gang members were accused of murder, robbery, and narcotics trafficking, and Tekashi 6ix9ine was a member who benefitted from the street cred he received from the gang while supposedly funding their activities. The two rappers have been beefing since 2019 when 6ix9ine, who was described as an “eager and cooperative witness,” provided in his testimony information on the Nine Trey gang. The controversial rapper was on a live conversation set up by DJ Akademiks on Club House with 21 Savage and Wack 100 when he made the wild allegation.
