Tekashi 6ix9ine was confronted by Crips gang members at Brooklyn facility forcing authorities to transfer rapper to safer prison
'Dummy Boy' rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine had a confrontation with a group of Crips gang members in what was described as an intense showdown at a facility in Brooklyn last month. Sources with local authorities revealed that the 22-year-old rapper was denied bail at a hearing that took place on November 19 and was in the intake section of the Metropolitan Detention Center in his hometown of Brooklyn.
The artiste, who has been linked to the 9 Trey Gangsta Bloods gang, was attacked by a Crips member who tested him in a process that is known as 'G Checking' in which an alleged gang member's morale is challenged by a rival member. The gang member told 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, that he was not going to be in charge while in custody, reported TMZ.
