“Yailin is not well, she needs help. Yailin was loved, she was cared for. I’m on probation, I would never lay my hands on a woman, I’m not here to create gossip. I’m here to clear my name and ask that this matter be dealt with responsibly.”
As the situation continues to unfold, 6ix9ine’s new mugshot has begun to surface on various blogs, further fueling the public’s curiosity and concern.
