Read 6ix9ine's Full Guilty Plea

Zoe Taylor · Feb 14, 2019

At the beginning of this month, it was revealed that controversial rapper 6ix9ine had pleaded guilty to nine counts in his federal racketeering case, and would be a cooperating witness. The plea, which was previously held from the public, has now been made available to read.

6ix9ine says that he "met and joined the Nine Trey Blood Gang" in the fall of 2017: "As a member of Nine Trey, the enterprise engaged in such activities including shooting at people, robbing people, and at times drug trafficking."

He admits to being involved in three different violent incidents in 2018: an attempted murder on March 20, a robbery on April 3, and a shooting on June 2. 6ix9ine also says that in 2017, "I and others agreed to sell one kilogram of heroin" in Bushwick.

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer asks 6ix9ine if he has "ever been treated or hospitalized for any mental illness." The rapper says that around 2011 or 2012, he was suffering depression and posttraumatic stress after his stepfather was murdered. "I started becoming just rebelling and not showering, like depression stuff," he explains. As a result, he was prescribed Zoloft and "other medication," but he never took it. "My mom used, like, Mexican remedies."

6ix9ine will be sentenced on Jan. 23, 2020, facing a minimum of 47 years. He will be released on this sentence at 69 years of age. Oh, the irony.
