Skinnyfromthe9 was previously accused of snitching on friends, with footage surfacing of him speaking to the police.
“Five or six years ago, I was friends with a group of people from Jersey, people I grew up with,” he explained to Say Cheese in 2019. “They were like my best friends, you could say. One of them set a house on fire, and then he got caught, he got arrested or whatever. And then he gave a statement to the police and basically told on everybody, everybody that was involved. It was like 10 people. But what really stuck out to the whole situation was he tried to blame the shit on me, and I wasn’t even there. I had no involvement whatsoever.”

He continued, “When I saw that with my own eyes, like your own friend trying to take the easy [route] – he folded, you know what I’m saying? He folded. He basically said, ‘He did it. He did it. He did it.’ So then they were about to charge me with arson and all that, and I was like, that’s wrong bruh. I’m not about to take the wrap for something I didn’t even do.”
