In a way, it's a good thing that Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested when he was because it turns out members of his team were conspiring to "violate" him. 6ix9ine is currently in prison as he awaits trial for his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods and their racketeering case. The artist has been all over the news as he officially released his new album yesterday. His legal team has been trying to argue that 6ix9ine was never really part of the gang, he was simply portraying the role of a gangster in his music career. He's facing life in prison but if he ever makes it out, he'll need to be protected at all times. Especially considering the severity of the threats made in newly-surfaced wiretap transcripts.

TMZ reported that conversations between Tekashi's former manager Shotti and Mel Murda were presented as part of the case, revealing that the rapper's life was seriously in danger after firing his crew. The phone conversation is pretty extreme, involving mentions of "feeding" the rapper, which prosecutors believe means unloading bullets. Mel Murda spoke on the phone with Shotti, telling him, "[Tekashi] is trying to dry snitch at the same time, homie. But he keep saying, f*** Treyway, f*** that n****, Treyway. Ain't no n****, Treyway. F*** Treyway." Shotti responded by laughing and sending a threat: "Imma feed him though."
The conversation included talk of Tekashi getting "violated" after trying to separate himself from the gang. An unknown affiliate said, "That's cool. Now he gotta get violated." Mel Murda responded, "Yeah, super violated. Super duper. Ain't no much he could really do unless he run around with 100 armed securities all day."
The full conversation can be read over here, which is pretty incriminating.
