Tekashi 6ix9ine's testimony worked out very well for the government.

Just ask  Nine Trey Anthony "Harv" Ellison, who is facing 30 to life.

6ix9ine will have to wear a scarlet rat on his chest for the rest of his life.

In his interview with The New York Times, Snitch9 said he had no choice.

"I really want this to hit home: When I was kidnapped, was I a victim?” he asked. “Did I cooperate? No. When they were stealing money from shows, did I cooperate? No. Did I have many chances to tell the police what I saw? Yes. I was following a street code that was upheld by me and that I thought was real. Before I broke the street code, how many times was it broken to me? ‘It’s all about honor, loyalty.’ Well, let’s talk about if sleeping with somebody’s girl is honor, kidnapping somebody is honor, stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from them is honor, trying to kill them is honor. ‘Snitching’s not street!’ But street is taking advantage of one of your homies?”
