Twenty-four hours after news surfaced that Tekashi 6ix9ine was facing a $2.25 million lawsuit from Fashion Nova, more legal troubles are said to await the disgraced rapper. As Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s alleged August release date approaches, it looks like people are coming for their coins. The rapper is currently in federal custody serving out his two-year sentence after turning State’s agent against his former accomplices. The future of his career hangs in the balance, but as his unwavering fans anticipate his freedom, 6ix9ine’s ex-friend has filed a lawsuit against him.

TMZ reports that a man named Shane Hardy has made accusations that Tekashi 6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, once ordered a hit on his life. Shane reportedly says that he and Hernandez had a disagreement way years ago about the “GUMMO” rapper’s connection with the Nine Trey Bloods. During his trial, Hardy claims his former friend admitted that “he directed Aaron ‘Bat’ Young and Jamel ‘Mel Murda’ Jones to shoot Hardy.”

In January 2018, Hardy was in Brooklyn when Young and Jones allegedly found him and shot at him multiple times. Amazingly, Hardy survived being shot in both the neck and back of the head. He’s suing Hernandez, Young, and Jones for unspecified damages. While Hernandez received a two-year sentence, Young and Jones’s sentences weren’t as short. Young received 20 years behind bars while Jones got 11. Both ended up pleading guilty.

In 2018, Hardy, whose nickname is “Snow Billy,” reportedly conducted an interview with the BBN Network and detailed being shot. You can check that out below.

An exclusive report from OnSmash seems to point to an interesting development in the search for Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s security detail. Several weeks ago, it was revealed that his rainbow-haired rapper’s former security guards refused to work with him in the future, leaving things muddy for when he gets out. Given his well-known status as a government informant, 6ix9ine will need world-class protection around the clock, likely paying in the millions to ensure his safety. It turns out that, after his old security dropped out of the gig, an unexpected figure stepped up and may have accepted the job.

In an unconfirmed report by OnSmash, it is being said that Snow Billy, 6ix9ine’s original manager and a man that the rapper admitted to taking part in a hit on his life, will be working as the artist’s full-time security manager. Billy was shot in the neck and head by members of the Nine Trey Bloods in 2017 and, since then, he’s spoken in the media about his ties to Tekashi. 6ix9ine reportedly admitted that he pulled the trigger on Billy so for him to head back to the rapper is quite remarkable.

Until this report has been confirmed by 6ix9ine’s representatives, it should be taken with a grain of salt. However, this is pretty big news if true.
