(AllHipHop News) Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine blasted his critics who have labeled him a pedophile, over a raunchy video he created in 2015.
In November of 2017, 6ix9ine plead guilty to three felony counts of use of a child in a sexual performance.
6ix9ine says he had no idea the naked girl featured in the video was 13-years-old since she allegedly lied about her age.
“When people comment under my s##t ‘pedophile’ and all that s##t, I’m so numb to it because I know what I am and who I am,” 6ix9ine said during an interview with The Breakfast Club. “Say, I would understand if I was his age [pointing to Charlamagne] and got this charge and it looked disturbing but the media don’t see it as, ‘this kid got caught up in some s##.t'”
As part of his plea, 6ix9ine was required to obtain a GED, perform 300 hours of community service, and seek two years of mental health treatment amongst other conditions, which also comes with an obligation to write an open letter to the victim’s relatives.
But 6ix9ine condemned the media for intensifying his problems, simply for reporting on his case.
“This is how nasty the media is. This is how nasty they are and try to paint a picture and violate,” 6ix9ine asserted. “This is what the system does to youth. I’m an 18-year-old kid with my life in front of me. Now that I rap and I’m somebody when these charges come up, it’s like “Oh my god, he’s a monster.”
The rap star is scheduled to go in front of a judge on April 10th, where he could end up being sentenced to prison time.
