6ix9ine’s Former Driver Gets No Prison Time In Nine Trey Case

Tekashi 6ix9ine might be the most famous snitch in the Nine Tr3y takedown but he wasn’t the only one cooperating with authorities. According to VladTV, Jorge Rivera won’t be receiving any prison time or face deportation after prosecutors vouched for him, saying that he was instrumental in taking down the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

Rivera was charged alongside the rest of the gang members on racketeering charges but it was later revealed that he was actually working with authorities a year prior to the arrest. After catching an immigration case, authorities pressured him into cooperating, or else he would face deportation. Rivera was the first to call the police when 6ix9ine’s kidnapping went down.

Rivera explained that he had worked as a taxi driver, and a private citizen, before meeting 6ix9ine and Shotti in Feb. 2018. “Prior to that fateful day, Rivera had never met (or even heard of) Hernandez or Jordan,” prosecutors wrote. “Hernandez instantly liked Rivera, and days later Hernandez hired Rivera to drive Hernandez to and from an event. Over the next several weeks, Rivera became Hernandez’s regular driver.”

Two months after picking up the gig as 6ix9ine’s driver, he was arrested by ICE and agreed to work with authorities. From April 2018 to July 2018, he had told the police bout several incidents such as robberies and shootings, even informing them of a gun being carried in the vehicle.

“Rivera’s testimony was crucial at trial because it corroborated the testimony of Hernandez and convincingly belied Ellison’s defense that the robbery and kidnapping were staged,” the prosecutor added.

Rivera penned a letter to the judge, explaining that the opportunity to drive 6ix9ien appeared to be a “once in a lifetime” career opportunity that became the biggest mistake of his life.

“As my sentencing day approaches I cannot help but reflect even more-so on the consequences of having met Daniel Hernandez and the people he introduced me to,” Rivera wrote. “To say that I regret my decisions during my employment with ‘Tekashi69’ would be a major understatement. Frankly after this whole ordeal I was left with much less than what I started with.”

Drake Laughs Off Wack 100’s ‘Career Ending’ Allegations And Fans Weigh In

Drake isn’t losing any sleep over rumors, especially those coming from Wack 100. Despite Wack’s bold claims that he has information that could damage the Toronto superstar’s reputation, Drake remains unfazed. In a recent episode of No Jumper, host Adam22 revealed that he spoke to Drake about the alleged information Wack 100 claims to have. The shocking accusation? That Drake supposedly ordered a hit on someone. However, Adam22 quickly pointed out that Drake was more amused than concerned.

Drake appeared curious about what Wack would do with this supposed evidence if it even exists. As news of this conversation spread on social media, some fans speculated that Drake reaching out to Adam22 about the situation might suggest there’s something he’s hiding. One user suggested, “The fact that the man got in touch with Adam worried about a flash drive lets you know he’s hiding something.” On the flip side, others completely dismissed the whole story, arguing that Drake’s name often gets dragged into discussions just for attention. One fan commented, “I can guarantee Adam22 never spoke to Drake. Damn, Drake’s name is straight up feeding GENERATIONS… I wish I was exaggerating.”

This isn’t the first time someone has tried to take him down, and given his history, it likely won’t be the last. At this point, Wack 100’s credibility is being questioned just as much as his claims. With no proof showing up and Drake appearing completely unconcerned, this could be another example of noisy chatter online. Whether this storyline fizzles out or takes an unexpected turn, it’s clear that Drake isn’t sweating it.

Bad Boy Records Co-Founder Sues Diddy, Alleges Heavy Involvement in Tupac’s Murder

The hip-hop community is buzzing as Kirk Burrowes, the former president and co-founder of Bad Boy Records, has filed a lawsuit making bold accusations against Sean “Diddy” Combs. This legal action takes things to a new level by linking Diddy to the murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur. For years, people have speculated about the infamous feud between East Coast and West Coast rappers, which many believe had tragic outcomes.

Burrowes claims to have detailed evidence suggesting that Diddy was involved in planning Tupac’s murder. He alleges that Diddy’s jealousy pushed him to go to great lengths to undermine Tupac’s success, using tactics like negative publicity and trying to sabotage his career. Burrowes, who played an essential role in the rise of Bad Boy Records until he was let go in 1997, paints a very gloomy picture of Diddy’s actions. Beyond the claims of bullying and financial manipulation that have surfaced in the past, Burrowes insists that Diddy had a significant role in the violent demise of one of hip-hop’s most legendary figures.

This explosive lawsuit raises important questions about how deep the rivalry between East Coast and West Coast artists went. Burrowes’s statements suggest that Diddy was involved in a way that many had long suspected. For fans, this lawsuit is yet another chapter in the ongoing saga of scandals surrounding Diddy. Legal professionals are considering whether this new evidence might finally lead to justice for Tupac. And for those who cherished Tupac’s legacy, it opens old wounds that have never healed. Will Burrowes’s claims finally bring some accountability, or is this just another twist in the complicated stories surrounding the deaths of Tupac and Biggie? This story is far from over.
