Cardi B was mentioned during the ongoing Tekashi 6ix9ine trial. Tekashi is testifying against his former Nine Trey Gangsters associate and it was mentioned that Cardi was a part of the Bloods. While Tekashi never mentioned that Cardi B was a member of Nine Trey, he did confirm that she was a member of the Bloods.
Cardi B also confirmed that with a brief comment on social media.
She had also mentioned in a since-deleted tweet that she has “never been 9 trey or associated with them.”
It’s not the first time that Cardi B has announced she was a member of the Bloods. She has also confirmed that she was a member of the 59 Brims set of the gang. 59 Brims is also the set of Bloods that 6ix9ine previously indicated fellow rapper Trippie Redd was a member of.
“When I was 16 years old, I used to hang out with a lot of Bloods. I used to pop off with my homies. And they’d say, ‘Yo, you really get it poppin’. You should come home. You should turn Blood.’ And I did. Yes, I did,” she said in an interview with GQ. “You could talk to somebody that is considered Big Homie and they will tell you: ‘Don’t join a gang.’ The person that I’m under, she would tell you, ‘Don’t join a gang.’ It’s not about violence. It’s just like—it doesn’t make your money. It doesn’t make your money. I rep it, because I been repping it for such a long time.
“People always be like, ‘Oh, Cardi never used to rep it when she wasn’t making music.’ Yeah, because I already got signed. I can do that now. I’m smarter than what people think. There’s so many things that I limited myself because I wanted a million-dollar contract. When I do interviews, I don’t talk about it, because I will lose my endorsements. But since the cat is out of the bag”—she throws up her small, barbecue-sauce-covered hands—”that’s how I feel. Why? For what? Why would you join a gang?”
6ix9ine has been pleading against alleged Nine Trey members Anthony Ellison and Aljermiah Mack, who were reportedly involved in his kidnapping. The rapper is hoping that the testimony will help lighten his sentencing in 2020 after pleading guilty in his federal racketeering case.
