NYPD are calling one of the two men seen following Chief Keef around New York prior to him being shot at, a "known associate" of Tekashi 6ix9ine whose name has not been released. The men reportedly followed the "Love Sosa" rapper from a downtown Manhattan restaurant to the W Hotel, where they fired at Keef, but missed.

According to TMZ, NYPD is looking into Tekashi's ties with one of the men following a very public back and forth between the two rappers prior to the shooting. Tekashi has denied any involvement in the shooting, and he downplayed the beef between him and Keef.

More details to come.
