Tekashi 6ix9ine might be in federal custody, awaiting a September trial on racketeering and weapons charges. But that doesn’t mean the rapper can’t play a very generous Santa to his girlfriend, Jade, who took to Instagram to show off the new Mercedes SUV she says he bought her as an early Christmas present.
“No car payments,” Jade captioned one photo, along with a reference to the $250,000 she said the 22-year-old Tekashi spent on the Mercedes-AMG G65. The vehicle is a tank-like SUV that was originally made for off-roading, but is known for its luxury, power and popularity with celebrities.
Jade, also 22, included a rainbow, heart and smiley face emojis with her SUV caption. “Early Xmas gift I love u so much baby @6ix9ine. Im (sic) so happy yall (sic).”

One might think that Tekashi, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, would want to save his money to cover his legal fees, which are likely to be substantial.
The rainbow-haired rapper and former social media provocateur was arrested Nov. 18 by federal ATF and Homeland Security agents. Tekashi was subsequently charged with six counts involving racketeering, firearms possession, assault and conspiracy to commit murder.
Tekashi has pleaded not guilty and denied prosecutors’ allegations that he is a member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods street gang. If convicted on the racketeering charges, the Brooklyn-born rapper is looking at a sentence of around 20 years in prison and a fine up to $25,000.
But not spending extravagantly on his loved ones apparently isn’t the Tekashi way. Jade, though, isn’t the mother of Tekashi’s young daughter Saraiyah, whose photo he has often shared on Instagram, as if to show fans his tender, family-oriented side. Saraiyah’s mother is Tekashi’s one-time girlfriend Sara, who reportedly was never interested in being famous.
Perhaps Tekashi has the cash to spare on the various women in his life, with his debut album “Dummy Boy” hitting the top of various charts.
In late November, Tekashi gifted Jade, described in reports as a strip club bartender, with a one-of-a-kind, customized Rolex watch for her 22nd birthday. Jade, incidentally, is one of the sisters who have accused Cardi B of ordering her entourage to physically attack them, because one of the sisters allegedly slept with Cardi B’s estranged husband Offset, according to TMZ.
As with her new Mercedes, Jade posted a photo of her new watch on social media. TMZ reported that Tekashi apparently purchased the watch before his arrest. The 18-carat white and rose gold watch, with 24 carats worth of diamonds, reportedly set the “FEFE” rapper back about $35,000. He had it hand-delivered to Jade for her birthday, TMZ added.
“Best birthday EVER!! Thank you baby,” Jade wrote. “Your (sic) the best even when your (sic) not around.”
