6ix9ine apologized for 'misrepresenting myself'
But his career came to a screeching halt last November when he was charged alongside other alleged members of the gang known as Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods with serious federal offenses including racketeering. US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey S. Berman said the gang "wreaked havoc on New York City, engaging in brazen acts of violence." Prosecutors said in court filings that he and other gang members carried out a March 2018 shooting in Times Square, an April 2018 shooting at the Barclays Center, a June 2018 shooting at the W Hotel in Times Square, and more. Hernandez pleaded guilty to nine charges in February, including racketeering, and informed on his associates, according to court documents. He testified as a witness during the trials of Anthony Ellison and Aljermiah Mack, who were both convicted of felonies, Lazzaro wrote. In a letter to the judge filed last week, he apologized for his crimes, for joining the gang and for "misrepresenting myself" to his fans. "I now know that I am remorseful for what happened because I was blessed with the gift of an opportunity that most people dream of but I squandered it by getting involved with the wrong people and misrepresenting myself when I should have been true to myself and my fans," Hernandez wrote. "I'm sorry to the victims who were affected by my actions, to my fans who look up to me and were misled, to my family who depends on me and to this courtroom for this mess that I contributed to." Lazzaro portrayed Hernandez as a young man who joined the Nine Trey gang to promote his rap career and support his family. "Mr. Hernandez is a rap artist who foolishly joined the Nine Trey Gansta Bloods (hereinafter "Nine Trey") in an attempt to promote a gangster persona which would help him sell his music and advance his career," Lazzaro wrote in the filing. Two victims of an April 2018 armed robbery filed victim impact statements to the court saying that the attack, orchestrated by Hernandez, had caused severe stress and left them in constant fear for their lives.DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
