Tekashi 6ix9ine dropped more dimes in court Thursday, this time alleging Bronx rappers Cardi B and Jim Jones are members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods street gang.
Tekashi, real name Daniel Hernandez, has been testifying as a government witness in a racketeering case against two Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods associates.
During day three of testimony in a Manhattan federal courtroom, the 23-year-old rapper first discussed Jones, the New York Daily News reported.

In a wiretapped phone call from Nov. 17, 2018, Jones reportedly said he was fed up with Tekashi.
“They going to have to violate shorty because shorty is on some bull–it,” Jones allegedly said on the call.
Tekashi described the Love & Hip Hop: New York alum as “a retired rapper,” and said Jones has deep gang ties.
During cross examination, Tekashi testified that he personally joined the Bloods to advance his music career. Then he alleged Cardi B is a member of the gang as well.
“You knew Cardi B was a Blood?” asked defense attorney Alex Huot. “Correct,” Tekashi replied.
“You knew Cardi B made music videos with Bloods in the background?” the attorney asked. “Correct,” Tekashi said.
Cardi B confirmed her affiliation with the Bloods in an interview with GQ magazine in 2018.
“I used to pop off with my homies. And they’d say, ‘Yo, you really get it poppin’. You should come home. You should turn Blood.’ And I did. Yes, I did,” the magazine quoted her as saying.
But on Thursday a rep for the “Bodak Yellow” rapper denied she was ever in the gang.
“She’s not and has never been affiliated with this gang,” her rep told the New York Post.
As previously reported, Tekashi faces a minimum of 47 years in prison after pleading guilty to racketeering, gun and drug charges. After testifying in this current case, he could walk free or see his sentence reduced.
