AceShowbiz - Rapper Tekashi69 a.k.a 6ix9ine has reportedly been banned from performing at the Soulfrito Fest 2018 in New York following a shooting at the venue where the event is planned. Earlier this week, it was reported the rapper's entourage was involved in an altercation with rapper Casanova's crew following the Adrien Broner boxing match at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn last weekend, April 21-22.

According to TMZ, someone fired a gun during the alleged scuffle, but police were not able to immediately identify a suspect after the incident.

However, Tekashi69's manager, Tr3yway, is a person of interest in two shootings in Brooklyn, including the one after the Broner fight. He has not been arrested or hit with criminal charges, but sources tell the website the rapper will no longer perform at the festival in June because of the ongoing police investigation.
