Tekashi 6ix9ine Releases His First Message To Fans Following Racketeering Arrest
Days before his arrest, 6ix9ine - real name Daniel Hernandez - cut ties from his former Tr3yway crew. Before this, the rapper frequently referenced Tr3yway in his music.
However, fans soon noticed that there were no mentions of the crew in 'DUMMY BOY', with the exception of the previously released 'FEFE'.

While it may seem like the rapper is throwing shade at his former crew by avoiding their name - and often in a mocking way - there's a more official reason as to why he's doing so.
In light of the current legal situation surrounding 6ix9ine and his former affiliates, the rapper is legally prohibited from mentioning Tr3yway after a judge banned him from associating with any gangs back in October.
The ban also covers the use of the word 'Tre3way' - another name for the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods street gang - in his songs. Meanwhile, Tekashi has pleaded “not guilty” to all of the federal charges against him and will face a trial in September 2019.
