Tekashi flipped in a flash

Testifies he sang day after fed bust

Tattooed tattletale Tekashi 6ix9ine went from Blood-associated rapper to singing stool pigeon “the next day” after he was busted by the feds for gangrelated activity, he testified in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday.

It was previously understood that the Brooklyn-born rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, cut the cooperation deal against his crew the Nine Trey Bloods in February — but the rapper testified in court that he had actually started singing to the feds the day after he was arrested on Nov. 19, 2018.

Tekashi claimed he used the violent crew for “street credibility” while testifying for two hours against his alleged former associates Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack.

Though he was never initiated into the gang, the 23-year-old entertainer testified, he was still a member since he used his music to promote and raise money for them — a statement which supports prosecutors’ claims that the rapper helped bankroll the gang’s operations.

Tekashi told the court that he produced his songs in lieu of doing “work like cutting someone’s face.”

Tekashi, whose famed rainbow locks have since grown out, said that his role was to “just keep making hits and be the financial support for the gang.”

In return, the pig-tailed rapper claimed that the crew gave him “protection” — and an edge to his music.

“That’s what people like. It was a formula, a blueprint, I found that worked,” testified Tekashi, who wore dark blue jailhouse duds.

Jurors were played clips of the rapper’s music videos for “GUMMO” and “KOODA,” the songs’ obscene lyrics blaring through the federal courthouse.

Tekashi said the videos featured Nine Trey Gang trappings because he “wanted the aesthetic.”

It wasn’t until September 2017 that he saw his affiliation with the Bloods translate to music success, he told the court.

He filmed the diss track “GUMMO” outside of 370 Madison St., the gang’s headquarters in Bed-Stuy, and the song became an “Internet sensation.”

“After we shot ‘GUMMO’ I knew we had a formula,” said Tekashi, who grooved on the stand to one verse.

He said he then released “KOODA” later that year as a response to the “backlash” to him co-opting gang life.

“They didn’t understand how a kid with rainbow hair could be affiliated with the Bloods,” he told the court.

The rapper was later arrested alongside Ellison and Mack last year but quickly copped a plea deal to cooperate with feds.

Though he faces up to 47 years in prison, Tekashi could get a more lenient sentence due to his cooperation.
