Identity Protection A Good Theory

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] There has been chatter about this musician disappearing from public life and entering the witness protection program.

Will that actually happen?

He is def talking about it. He says he’ll get all his tatts removed and change his hair and even get plastic surgery if he has to.

He sounds serious.

Except…

WITSEC is good in theory but the reality is that he makes a living being famous and he can’t figure out a way to make a living being unfamous. WITSEC will give him some money for six months but then he has to earn his own money. If he can’t make a living, he might just hire a sh*t ton of bodyguards to protect him from the gang bangers.

BG Note: WITSEC is the Federal Witness Protection Program.

[Optional] What would you advise him to do?

SOLVED!

Musician: Tekashi 6ix9ine

Daniel Hernandez, aka Tekashi 6ix9ine, was facing up to fifty years in prison. So he turned state’s witness and ratted out a bunch of gang members.

Uh oh.

Snitching like that may have helped with his prison time, but it certainly isn’t going to protect him from stitches.

That’s when Tekashi 6ix9ine started talking about changing his appearance and going into the Witness Protection Program.

It turns out that was all talk.

Just as your friends at Blind Gossip told you, Tekashi 6ix9ine can’t be “unfamous.” His desire for fame and money are more important to him than saving his own life. So he is just going to hire some bodyguards and move on with his music career.

From TMZ:

Tekashi 6ix9ine No Thanks on Witness Protection 24/7 Security’s Fine by Me!!!

Tekashi 6ix9ine plans to do something very un-snitch-like — after all the snitching he just did — and that’s to reject the witness protection program as soon as he’s a free man again.

The federal trial that saw the rapper sing like a canary for 3 days wraps up Thursday as prosecutors and defense attorneys give closing arguments. Tekashi pointed fingers and named names of his old gang members (and other celebs too), but sources close to him tell us he will forgo any participation in witness protection — and will instead opt for a life of fame.

That might sound like a death wish, considering how many people he rolled over on during his testimony — but we’re told Tekashi’s still itching to make new music, and believes he can pick up where he left off.

Tekashi realizes the Nine Trey Bloods could be gunning for him, and possibly others who are pissed he turned rat for the feds — but we’re told his safety plan is simply round-the-clock security. It’s, essentially, the hide-in-plain-sight approach.

As for how he’ll foot the bill for 24/7 bodyguards — we’re told Tekashi still has some cash left from before his arrest … plus, he’s planning on his music career taking off again, once he’s out.

It won’t be cheap. As we reported, Tekashi also has family members who fear for their lives — so expenses could add up fast if he’s protecting them too.

Tekashi testified he believes he’ll be out as early as next year, which would mean the feds cut him one helluva deal. He was facing a minimum sentence of 47 years before agreeing to fully cooperate with prosecutors.

Hernandez even testified that Cardi B is a gang member, so he really didn’t hold anything back!

His bodyguards might be able to protect him from The Bloods… but to incur the wrath of Cardi B is a whole different kind of scary:

He’s going to need a bodyguard just to protect him from that side eye!

Congratulations to GerseyChick for being first with the correct answer!

    6ix 9ine.
    I would’ve advised him to keep his mouth shut, but it’s too late. Things aren’t gonna go well for him when he’s released

  23. GooglyMoogly says

    Tekashi Sixtynine dude…whatever, I’m too lazy to look up how to spell his weird name…sorry…

    He’s a dead man walking. He can try to hide, but he’s gonna get whacked no matter what he does.

  27. GretaGuesses says

    That 6ix9ine rapper who is ratting out Bloods and gang members.

    He should remove his tatts and have gender reassignment surgery, then start touring as a female rapper…Maybe with Cardi B.

    Tekashi 6ix9ine. He’ll be dead within 6 months of this trial. I would advise him to move as far off the radar as he could. If he has any money left…….. Siberia, some remote island, try to remain alive.

  39. TeaDrinker says

    Tekashi 69, of course!

    Optional: If he can afford to remove those tatts and get surgery before going in hiding, I would recommend that. He’ll at least have a chance to live. Staying who he is and hiring a “ton of bodyguards” won’t work. Even heads of state with the best body guards in the world have been shot and killed!! What makes him think he’s any better?

  45. pharmchick says

    Obviously tekashi. He should def get the tats removed/ dunno why he got face tats to start with- change his hair color, use the time in witsec to get a good bodyguard posse and move to another country and live off what he already made in the past.

    Tekashi 69

    I’d tell him: “Better call Saul!”
    No, seriously, I’d ask him if he can’t develop a new musical style or sound or voice, so he could be another person/another musician.

    Tekashi 69

    I’d advise him to fake his own death with the govt’s assistance and backing. He wanted to live the thug and gang lifestyle. He swam with sharks and turned snitch. They smell blood in the water.. HIS !!

    what a dummy getting tattoos all over his face. SMH. He’s a goner if those dont come off with treatment.
