The NYPD are looking into whether a major player in Tekashi69's camp was involved in two recent shootings.
TMZ reports that 6ix9ine's manager, Tr3way, is being investigated for possibly firing a gun during a fight between his camp and rival rapper Casanova inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, April 21, during the Adrien Broner vs Jessie Vargas boxing match.
Based on surveillance footage, cops also believe someone resembling Tr3way fired two to four shots at a vehicle trailing Tekashi's SUV on the way to the event.
There were no injuries reported in either incident. The investigation is ongoing and no charges against Tr3way have been filed.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rapper Meek Mill walked out of prison Tuesday after Pennsylvania’s highest court ordered him freed while he appeals decade-old gun and drug convictions.
Following a five-month campaign by his supporters to get him out, the state Supreme Court directed a Philadelphia judge who had jailed him to immediately issue an order releasing him on unsecured bail.
Mill was sentenced in November to two to four years in prison for probation violations.
He was taken from the prison by helicopter to Philadelphia, where he rang the ceremonial bell at the start of Game 5 of the Philadelphia 76ers-Miami Heat playoff series.
“Welcome home Meek Mill,” said the game announcer to the rapper, who was sitting courtside next to actor Kevin Hart and Sixers co-owner Michael Rubin.
Before the game, Mill visited privately with the Sixers in their locker room.
A team of lawyers and public relations consultants had waged an all-out battle to get him freed, leveling fierce criticism at the judge as a stream of high-powered figures and celebrities visited him in jail outside Philadelphia just hours before the Supreme Court ruling.
Mill issued a statement saying the past months had been “a nightmare,” and thanked his many supporters and visitors, who included Rubin, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney.
“Although I’m blessed to have the resources to fight this unjust situation, I understand that many people of color across the country don’t have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues,” Mill said.
He said he would now focus his attention on getting his convictions overturned, and that he looks forward to resuming his music career.
Earlier this month, in a major victory for Mill, prosecutors said they agreed with his lawyers that he should get a new trial because of questions raised about the arresting officer. The now-retired officer was among a list of police officers the prosecutor’s office has sought to keep off the witness stand in cases across the city because of credibility questions.
A spokesman for District Attorney Larry Krasner said late Tuesday that the Supreme Court’s decision on Meek Mill’s release was consistent with the position taken by their office.
Mill’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, thanked the high court.
“Meek was unjustly convicted and should not have spent a single day in jail,” Tacopina said.
In an opinion earlier this month, Judge Genece Brinkley, who sent Mill to prison for the probation violations, strongly defended herself against accusations by the defense she was waging a vendetta against the rapper. She said the court “has impartially and without prejudice presided over numerous proceedings in this matter since 2008.”
The Supreme Court denied a defense request to move the case to another judge, but said the presiding judge could opt to remove herself.

In a stunning turn of events Meek Mill has been released from prison.
TMZ reports that the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania made the decision, overruling Philadelphia Common Pleas JudgeGenece Brinkley.
Brinkley denied the 30-year old rapper, born Robert Williams, bail earlier this month despite the fact that the District Attorneys office recommended it.
Brinkley is the same judge who sentenced Meek to 2-4 years in prison for violating his probation stemming from a 2008 drug and gun conviction.
As we previously reported, because of alleged corruption by the officer who originally arrested Meek, the D.A. believes his conviction will eventually be thrown out.
A retrial in the case is highly unlikely, meaning Meek will probably be off probation soon and can put this saga behind him.
"I’d like to thank God, my family, my friends, my attorneys, my team at Roc Nation including JAY-Z, Desiree Perez, my good friend Michael Rubin, my fans, The Pennsylvania Supreme Court and all my public advocates for their love, support and encouragement during this difficult time," Meek told TMZ. "While the past five months have been a nightmare, the prayers, visits, calls, letters and rallies have helped me stay positive.
"To the Philadelphia District Attorney’s office, I’m grateful for your commitment to justice – not only for my case, but for others that have been wrongfully jailed due to police misconduct.," he continued. "Although I’m blessed to have the resources to fight this unjust situation, I understand that many people of color across the country don’t have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues. In the meantime, I plan to work closely with my legal team to overturn this unwarranted conviction and look forward to reuniting with my family and resuming my music career."

The letter Tupac Shakur wrote to Madonna ending their relationship has been cleared for auction.
Madonna had attempted to block the sale by suing her former friend, Darlene Lutz, last July to prevent her from profiting from the letter, as well as other personal items, according to the New York Daily News.
However, a judge ruled that the singer had signed a release almost 15 years ago, forfeiting her rights to the belongings.
"(Madonna) knew that throughout her relationship with Lutz, Lutz was in possession of various pieces of (Madonna's) personal property," the judge wrote in his decision. "Yet before this action began, the plaintiff did not make any demand to return her possessions."
"It's a clear cut victory for us," Gotta Have It! auction house co-owner Ed Kosinski said. "She shouldn't have signed a settlement agreement relinquishing the right to all property in Darlene's possession."
The NYPD are looking into a possible connection between a shooting involving Tekashi69 and Casanova.
TMZ reports that Casanova, born Caswell Senior, was filming a music video on Thursday, April 19, in Bedford-Stuyvesant, New York, when someone fired ten shots, injuring two members of his entourage. Both men are expected to make a full recovery.
Police are investigating to find out if someone in 6ix9ine's crew is the culprit. This would be the second alleged shooting in three days involving the rival crews.
As we previously reported, there was a scuffle Saturday night at Barclays Center during the Adrien Broner vs. Jessie Vargas boxing match.
There was some pushing and shoving before someone from 69's crew pulled out a gun and fired a shot. Nobody was hit, but police did recover a .32 caliber shell casing at the scene.
The beef between Casanova and Tekashi, real name Daniel Hernandez, has been brewing for months. Both rappers are from Brooklyn and reported members of two separate Bloods gang sets.
