I Was a Nine Trey Gangsta Blood — Here's The Truth | Denard 'Drama' Butler Jan 26, 2025

Show notes

Denard 'Drama' Butler, a Nine Trey Gangsta Blood, was sentenced to 60 months in prison for racketeering after his involvement in a 2018 armed robbery—an event filmed by 6ix9ine. Labeled as a "hanger-on" in the gang's circle, Butler faced serious legal consequences when Tekashi 6ix9ine cooperated with federal authorities, leading to major indictments. In this episode, Butler breaks his silence on life inside Nine Trey, how 6ix9ine snitched, his prison experience, and his path to redemption. He also shares how he's rebuilding his life after prison and warning others about the dangers of gang life.
