6ix9ine is putting an end to the talk that the Island Boys were involved in the break-in at his Florida home.
While streaming with Adin Ross, Ben Da Donnn, and Neon, 6ix9ine opened up about the home invasion where his 60-year-old mother unexpectedly came face-to-face with two armed intruders.
“I guess people saw that I was working and took the opportunity,” 6ix9ine explained. “They were kids from the looks of it.”
When Ross mentioned the viral theory blaming the Island Boys for the break-in, 6ix9ine shut it down immediately. “There are 230 homes in my neighborhood,” he said. “It was kids in the neighborhood.”
He went on to say, “There were no tattoos, so that myth that it was the two brothers, that’s just a myth — an Instagram conspiracy. I’m just glad my mom’s okay and my family’s okay.”
The incident happened on Sunday (November 16), when four armed men stormed 6ix9ine’s house. The rapper wasn’t home, but his mother was held outside while the intruders rushed in and tore through the property.
A statement from the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office laid out exactly what went down.
“Road Patrol deputies were dispatched to the above address for a home invasion robbery/burglary in progress,” the report stated. “Upon arrival, deputies made contact with several individuals inside the residence who reported that four armed, masked men entered the home with handguns. They stated that the homeowner’s mother was held physically outside while the remaining suspects ran inside and ransacked the property.”
“The suspects asked for cash and car keys,” the statement added. “A K-9 track and search of the residence was conducted with negative results. Suspects possibly left in a vehicle prior to deputies’ arrival.”
Earlier this month, court documents obtained by Complex showed that federal prosecutors are pushing to send 6ix9ine back to prison for violating his supervised release.
They are recommending up to nine months behind bars, noting that it’s meant to “send a message to [6ix9ine] and other government cooperators — or those considering cooperating with the government — that they are not above the law by virtue of their status as cooperators, and that when they earn leniency at sentencing, this is not to be taken as a green-light to recidivate.”
6ix9ine’s attorney, Lance Lazzaro, has argued instead that house arrest would be more appropriate, pointing out that any jail time would result in the rapper being “segregated and fully isolated from other inmates,” with “extremely limited social interaction” and “very little time outside.”
Following the home invasion, 6ix9ine has asked the court to push his sentencing to January so he can relocate his family and “ensure their safety.”
