Tekashi 6ix9ine identified both Jim Jones and Cardi B as Nine Trey Bloods during the trial of Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack on Thursday (September 19).
While Cardi has spoken about her affiliation before, a rep told TMZ it wasn’t true. The platinum-selling rapper, however, swiftly corrected the rep and confirmed she’s a member of the Brims set — not Nine Trey.
“You said it yourself,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “Brim not 9 Trey. I never been 9 trey or associated with them.”
In 2018, Cardi confirmed she was a Blood during an interview with GQ.

“When I was 16 years old, I used to hang out with a lot of Bloods,” she said. “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.
6ix9ine has been the government’s star witness in the case against Ellison and Mack over the past three days.
Jones echoed Snoop Dogg’s recent sentiments in a June interview with Real 92.3, calling 6ix9ine a “rat.” He added there’s no coming back from snitching.
The trial is expected to go on for roughly two weeks.
