For obvious rat-related reasons, Tekashi 6ix9ine is probably the most hated rapper in the game, so whenever we hear that he’s been dealt an “L” in a court of law, we low-key feel good whenever hearing about that kind of news.
According to documents obtained by AllHipHop, a court in D.C. has just ordered the pariah of a rapper to pay $250,000 to Hits Before Fame LLC and After Hours LLC due to his failure to appear for a sold-out show in 2018. Interestingly enough, the complaint filed by the aforementioned LLCs claims that not only did Tekashi not show up for his scheduled appearance and not inform them that he wasn’t going, but the man even went so far as to perform at a competing event the same night.
Talk about doing what you can to make people hate you.
Hits Before Fame LLC and After Hours LLC say they planned Tekashi’s performance at the Echostage, which was planned around Howard University’s homecoming.
Keep in mind, this is when Tekashi was crowned the “King of New York” and was dominating Billboard charts on a weekly basis. Then he ended up getting kidnapped and beaten up by his crew and ultimately decided to turn state’s evidence and snitch on half of Brooklyn.
Now, all these years later, Tekashi is being held accountable for his other douche-ish move and will have to come out of pocket for his transgression.
AllHipHop reports:
According to the complaint, 6ix9ine accepted nearly $60,000 in performance fees but ghosted promo ters and vanished—only to pop up hours later performing at Powerhouse NJ at the Prudential Center in Newark.
The court ruled that 6ix9ine violated the terms of his contract after months of rescheduling, renegotiating, and receiving wire transfers and cash—most of it funneled through his former manager, Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, who was later imprisoned for unrelated charges.
Documents show 6ix9ine’s team stopped communicating with the promoters just as ticket sales surged past $165,000, VIP tables sold out, and more than 3,000 fans waited outside in cold rain.
One of his own agents even threatened to cancel the event weeks before, but days later, 6ix9ine recorded a video hyping the rescheduled gig as a “make-up date for the Howard homecoming”—a clip that was never shared publicly.
When it became evident that Tekashi wasn’t going to show, the promoters canceled the event 30 minutes before show time to avoid a possible riot. Though the judges rejected the promoters’ claims of defamation and unjust enrichment, they did rule in favor of breach of contract and slapped Tekashi with a $250,000 bill.
We don’t feel bad for him at all. Just sayin’.
