Rapper Tekashi 69’s former manager, Kifano Jordan, has plead guilty to second-degree assault for his involvement in a Midtown restaurant fight in which a shot was fired.
Jordan, 36, appeared in Manhattan Supreme Court to face assault and weapons counts which come from a shooting back in October. Members of Tekashi’s crew attempted to enter a restaurant, but were refused entry, as a business meeting was set to occur during the time. Jordan reportedly instigated the situation by ordering another man to hit the security guard who would not let the entourage inside. A shot was later fired by one of the rapper’s security guards, who is a retired police officer.
Jordan eventually pled guilty in exchange for a sentence of time served because he is facing “substantial” time in a separate federal case, according to prosecutors.
Tekashi 69, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, had a falling out with Jordan amid the time the two and nine other alleged gangbangers were caught by the FBI for several robberies, shootings, and various other crimes. Both Hernandez and Jordan were arrested and are currently undergoing legal battles.
Jordan admitted to firearm possession, as well as discharging a firearm. He also admitted to conducting a gunpoint robbery, while Hernandez filmed the altercation in an SUV outside. Hernandez admitted to multiple crimes including robbery and selling drugs. He ultimately pled guilty to nine counts, which include firearms offenses, narcotics trafficking, racketeering, and conspiracy.
Jordan is currently facing up to 15 years in the federal court case.
