Rapper TEKASHI69 "Person of Interest" in Shooting!

Tekashi69 is believed to be a person of interest in an NYC shooting, and, that apparently was enough to pull a nearly 5 Million dollar headphone deal off the table. A Tunes Audio rep told TMZ "at this time it is in the best interest of our company to move on. We wish him well, he's a great artist."

The shooting in question happened inside the Barclays Center after Tekashi's crew allegedly had an altercation with a rival rap crew headed by Brooklyn-based MC Casanova. Tekashi69's manager is also under criminal investigation for two shootings that went down the day of the Adrien Broner's fight.

Legal issues and beef with other artists have followed the rapper's ascent in popularity. In October 2015, Tekashi pled guilty to one felony count of Use of a Child in a Sexual Performance. Hernandez was charged with three counts of the offense after an incident on or about the night of February 21, 2015 where he had sexual contact with a 13-year-old minor and later distributed videos of the incident online.

Tekashi69 is best known for his songs, "Gummo", "Kooda, and "Keke", which have all debuted on the Us Billboard Hot 100 chart.
