Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s ex-manager was sentenced to 15 years behind bars Friday in connection with his role as a high-ranking member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods street gang.
Kifano “Shotti” Jordan was arrested last year alongside his onetime client, following a series of shootings and violent confrontations with rival gang members.
The 37-year-old openly wept in the courtroom while attempting to address Manhattan federal court judge Paul Engelmeyer.
“There’s been a lot of violence I committed,” he choked, after taking some time to compose himself. “I take full responsibility.”
Jordan pleaded guilty earlier this year to two counts related to firearms possession. In one incident he pumped nine gunshots into the side of a van, according to court records.
“Regrettably, I have to say I find you’re a danger to the community,” the judge said. “During the period of a little under a year, you were involved in an alarming spree of shootings and acts of revenge.
“Through some combination of sheer luck and bad aim, no one was hurt,” he added. “There is a public interest in you being in a place where you can’t fire guns and shoot at cars in public places.”
Following the proceeding, defense attorney Jeffrey Lichtman called it a “sad day” for his client.
“There’s a real disconnect between the ‘Shotti’ persona that committed all the violence, and the Kifano Jordan who is a sensitive, caring, and hardworking individual.”
Tekashi — real name Daniel Hernandez — also copped a plea and is now cooperating with the government.
He’s expected to testify later this month against two former associates, Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack.
