During the Nine Trey trial in 2019, Tekashi 6ix9ine's testimony caught many by surprise when he named Jim Jones and Cardi B as members of the Nine Trey Bloods. Leaked audio revealed how Jim's name got thrown into this. During a wiretapped conversation with Mel Murda of the Nine Trey Bloods just before the federal investigation was made public, Jim Jones can be heard advising the gang members on what they need to do about the Tekashi situation. At one point, Jim says they should "violate" 6ix9ine, among other tactics.
