Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine copped a secret plea deal — in which he admitted to hiring someone to shoot rival rapper Chief Keef and also to peddling a kilo of heroin — and is now cooperating with the feds, newly unsealed court documents reveal.

The rainbow-haired rapper took the plea deal Jan. 23 for his involvement with a violent street crew called the “Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods,” but the agreement was sealed so that prosecutors would have enough time to charge and arrest more of the gang members, according to a transcript of last week’s proceeding in Manhattan federal court.

Tekashi said during the plea that he joined the gang in 2017.

“On or about June 2, 2018, in furtherance of Nine Trey, of the Nine Trey enterprise, I paid a person to shoot at a rival member of Nine Trey to scare him. The shooting took place in Manhattan,” he told a judge.

“I did this to maintain or increase my own standing in Nine Trey. In furtherance of this shooting, I knew that a member of Nine Trey discharged a gun,” Tekashi added.

Tekashi 6ix9ine was hanging out at an infamous Queens strip club before he got held up this weekend, The New York Post reported.
