6ix9ine has reportedly identified Jim Jones as a member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
On Thursday (Sept. 19), the embattled rapper took the stand for day three of his testimony against former associates Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack.
According to a series of tweets from Inner City Press reporter Matthew Russell Lee, 6ix9ine was asked who Jim Jones is, and he called Jim a “retired rapper” and said he is a part of Nine Trey.
“He’s a retired rapper,” 6ix9ine reportedly told prosecutors when asked him who Jim Jones is. Tekashi then replied by saying “yes” when asked the question, “Is [Jim Jones] a member of Nine Trey?”
Jim and 6ix9ine seemingly had a relationship prior to 6ix9ine being jailed, as they’d been photographed together at various events. However, back in June, Jim spoke on the incarcerated rapper during an interview with The Cruz Show on Real 92.3 in L.A. The Harlem rapper called him a rat and “unmentionable.”
“Screw him,” Jim said. “He did some actions that he can’t come back from, so his name non-mentionable. If you a rat, then you’re a rat forever. That’s a subject we don’t even have to touch on.”

#6ix9ine: I punched a guy in Times Square, with Shotti.
And in Houston I grabbed a fan by his jacket. The case is still pending, I think.

Q: Mr. Hernandez, have you been sentenced?
A: No.
Q: What is the maximum you face?
A: Life.
Q: What is your understanding of a 5K letter?
A: it has the good bad and the ugly about me. The Judge gets it, and can go under the mandatory minimum. Like, time served.— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 19, 2019
#6ix9ine: without a 5K1 letter, the minimum I could served would be 47 years.
Government: No further questions.
First question on cross-examination: you are testifying to get the 5K letter or to help the government?#6ix9ine: Little bit of both.— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 19, 2019
Now Nuke Mack's lawyer Alex Huot is emphasizing that #6ix9ine's attempted murder was with Shotti, not with his client. "You wanted to take part, right?"
"Right."— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) September 19, 2019
