6ix9ine’s former friend Kooda B takes their feud to federal court, alleging false accusations derailed his comeback.
6ix9ine faces a federal defamation lawsuit from Kooda B, who says his former friend’s repeated snitch accusations cost him work and triggered death threats online.
Filed October 16 in New York’s Eastern District, the 48-page complaint seeks more than $150,000 in damages. Kooda B accuses 6ix9ine of falsely portraying him as a federal informant and linking him to crimes against the rapper and his family.
“At no time did Plaintiff identify the shooter,” the complaint states. “At no time did Plaintiff engage in a proffer or information-for-plea exchange.”
That dispute reaches back to a friendship built before the Nine Trey racketeering case. Kooda B, a Brooklyn rapper from Brownsville, became friends with 6ix9ine through music in 2017 and 2018, according to the filing. 6ix9ine named his 2017 single “Kooda” after him, and Kooda B appeared in its video.
Their connection later became part of a federal criminal prosecution. Kooda B pleaded guilty on June 3, 2019, to assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering. Federal prosecutors said he accepted money from 6ix9ine and helped arrange the June 2, 2018, Times Square shooting targeting Chief Keef.
Kooda B’s role was organizing the shooting, not pulling the trigger. Chief Keef was not injured, and the complaint says another person fired the weapon. The conviction was not for attempted murder.
