According to the New York Daily News Tekashi69′s former manager Shotti was sentenced to 15 years in prison Friday after copping to a gang-fueled shooting spree last year.
Much of Kifano “Shotti” Jordan’s crime spree was done with Tekashi, who is set to testify this month against accused members of the Nine Trey Bloods gang.
The mayhem last year included an April 3 armed robbery at a Times Square hotel, during which Tekashi allegedly sat in an SUV filming the robbery.
On April 21, Jordan fired two rounds at a rival who was following Tekashi’s vehicle. Later that day, Jordan was with Tekashi and other Nine Trey members inside the Barclays Center when they ran into rival rapper Casanova and his entourage.
A shot was fired but no one was hurt. Jordan later claimed to have ordered the blast.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Longyear credited Jordan, 37, for taking responsibility for his crimes quickly after he was arrested in November with Tekashi and ten other alleged gang members.
Jordan’s decision to plead guilty prompted other suspects to choose the same path, Jordan’s attorney Jeffrey Lichtman said. The trial of two accused Nine Trey members begins Sept. 16 and Tekashi will be the star witness.
“There’s a real disconnect between the ‘Shotti’ persona that committed all the violence and Kifano Jordan who is a sensitive, caring individual,” Licthman said.
As a young man, Jordan found a sense of belonging in gangs after being abandoned by his dad and ostracized at school, Lichtman argued.
