The rapper’s plea agreement detailed terms that, if followed, would grant Hernandez three years-probation instead of jail time. The way she was asking made me think she was older.’” (NYPD PSA 5), 6ix9ine said, ‘When she came in she asked me how old I was and I told her I was 18 and I assumed she was older. MY INSTAGRAM NAME IS TEKASHIIII69.”Īdditionally, Juzwiak reported, “In the Akademiks interview, 6ix9ine claimed she told him she was 19 in his statement taken Maat the address of 221 E. I WAS TAGGED ON INSTAGRAM AND THEN I REPOSTED THE VIDEOS USING THE REPOST WHIZ APP. THIS HAPPENED IN HARLEM ON THE NIGHT OF FEBRUGOING INTO THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 22, 2015. In the criminal complaint, Detective Maureen Sheehan wrote that Hernandez “stated in substance to me”: “THAT IS ME ON ALL THE VIDEOS. Later, he whined, “I was charged with a charge simply because I was there.” He continued, “When I saw Genius post the story, I thought they was gonna say all the details of the case, like, ‘He was just there, he was just talking into the camera, he didn’t touch the girl, no sexual performance with the camera…I didn’t rape nobody, bro, the girl wasn’t even raped…No one had sex with the girl.” The rapper defended himself by insisting, “I’m not touching the girl, I’m not having sexual intercourse with the girl, I’m not doing nothing, she just nude in some type of way,” directly contradicting the descriptions offered in the criminal complaint.

Hernandez told Akademiks that he was just 17 at the time, even going so far as to call himself “a baby.” But as Juzwiak pointed out, according to the complaint, Hernandez was actually 18 when the incident occurred. The separately charged defendant touches the child across her legs and vagina with his hand.” The child is nude in the video.” In another, “the child is completely nude and is sitting across the laps of the defendant and the separately charged defendant Taquan Anderson. In one video, “the child engages in oral sexual intercourse with the separately charged defendant Taquan Anderson, while the defendant, Daniel Hernandez, stands behind the child making a thrusting motion with his pelvis and smacking her on her buttocks. Hernandez began the interview by stating that the incident with the underage girl happened “three to four years ago,” when legal documents specify that it occurred in February 2015.Īccording to the criminal complaint, videos of the 13-year-old “victim” were shared on social media. Jezebel’s Rich Juzwiak compared and contrasted that 22 minute-long clip with the criminal complaint against Hernandez and found that the rapper’s testimony didn’t quite match up. The rapper addressed the incident in a 2017 interview with DJ Akademiks. 20, 2015, Daniel Hernandez (aka 6ix9ine) pleaded guilty to the felony count. Comments on a picture Nicki posted with Tekashi include, “Ur giving rap a bad name making music with him lol just stop,” “It is disgusting that you would make music with this monster,” and “are we just gunna act like he didn’t molest a child.” Having suffered through the single and its accompanying video, Minaj’s fans weren’t shocked when she announced on Instagram that 6ix9ine would be joining her and fellow rapper Future on their upcoming NICKIHNDRXX tour. When the queen of rap picks out a 22-year-old to collaborate with, she’s bringing that artist to a new level and in this case, legitimizing a man who’s legally copped to-while continuing to lie about-some pretty vile behavior. But Minaj, who could collaborate with anyone, has chosen to release a single with 6ix9ine. It would have been one thing if Minaj was simply enlisting 6ix9ine as an opener, and banking on his debatable talents to appeal to an audience who may not have traditionally turned up for a Nicki tour. But it is one of the more egregious examples of an artist sacrificing principles for profit. This isn’t the first time Nicki, who loves to champion women in theory, has had her feminist credentials questioned. Even diehard Barbies are taking to social media to say that they won’t financially support a rapper who was convicted of spanking a 13-year-old on camera-and that Nicki shouldn’t either. While teaming up with Tekashi 6ix9ine is a decent enough way to garner YouTube hits and headlines, Minaj is facing serious backlash. Nicki Minaj’s recent collaboration and upcoming tour with 6ix9ine, the controversial rapper who infamously pleaded guilty to “use of a child in a sexual performance,” has fans wondering just how low Minaj will go for some Soundcloud rapper clout.
