A number of rappers have been labeled as 'snitches' for cooperating with police and while some of them manage to brush off the title, others still suffer from it.

AceShowbiz - 6ix9ine once cut a deal with the government to witness against his two former associates. The Brooklyn-based emcee, who served a 24-month sentence on conspiracy to murder and armed robbery counts, was released from jail in 2020 after he agreed to testify during the trial of Nine Trey gang members Anthony "Harv" Ellison and Aljermiah "Nuke" Mack, who were facing federal racketeering and firearms charge.
Though he has been blackballed from the music industry after snitching on the two men, the "TROLLZ" rapper remained defiant. "Listen - I did that, and I feel like it's completely justifiable," he told Logan Paul in a September 2020 interview. "I thought rap was real... what rapper you know goes down for racketeering? ... Everything I was rapping about was really happening. These rappers that rap about the s**t they rap about, they don't live."
