New York rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine’s former manager is in need of a fresh pair of legal eyes. New reports claim Kifano “Shotti” Jordan‘s attorney has been relieved of his duties.
According to lawyer Scott E. Leemon, he is no longer handling Shotti’s case.
Leemon, in a letter to Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, said that he only made his initial Nov. 26 court appearance with his now-former client after Shotti and his family “assured” him that a retainer fee would be paid that week. “That never happened,” Leemon said. “It has now been several weeks since that appearance and I still have not received payment.” Leemon added that he was later informed by someone in Shotti’s family that funds were presently being raised ahead of plans to pursue new representation.

Recently, reports emerged about 6ix9ine not planning to snitch in their federal racketeering case.
Lance Lazzaro tells us, “A plea deal is simply off the table, even if the feds offer one.” He says they’re prepared to go trial and prove Tekashi’s innocence. As we reported, prosecutors have pics and videos linking Tekashi and his crew, including Kifano “Shotti” Jordan, to at least 3 armed robberies and/or shootings in Brooklyn earlier this year. (TMZ)
A few weeks ago, West Coast rapper Game shared his feelings about 6ix9ine’s situation.
“What’s happening to that young dude, they’re using him as an example. I wouldn’t wish jail on my worst enemy. I been to jail. I don’t f*ck with jail – jail is to break a real man from who you are. You ain’t got to be no gangster to be a real man. I’m real sympathetic for number one, that man’s daughter and I’m sympathetic to the situation. I don’t like jail. I don’t f*ck with pigs and that’s what it is.” (TMZ)

This month, New York rapper French Montana weighed-in on 6ix9ine’s legal troubles.
“First of all, you can’t say you’re the King of New York while JAY-Z’s still alive. I’m not saying you said it, I’m saying you can never say you’re the King of New York while JAY-Z’s still alive. Let’s get to Nas. Look at Nas. But I feel like where he’s at, he reminds me of me and Max B. That Coke Wave days. Max got 75 years in jail. You know anybody in life that got 75 years in jail? Exactly – one thing about Max and me too when we were doing the Coke Wave DVDs, when Max was doing it while people loved him. Max was fighting with Jim because whatever situation they had, a contract – but me, just being, what would you do for your guy? You stand by him, right? So Max B was fighting for his freedom, whatever him and Jim Jones had going on. So people understood, that’s what he was telling people what was going on – in this one [with 6ix9ine], you don’t even know what he’s fighting for. And I love 6ix9ine, shout-out to his family – Fat Joe was telling him. He was giving me the same messages. Fat Joe was the one who walked me into Funkmaster Flex. … I had to learn.” (Bootleg Kev)
