Video released by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan shows rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine getting kidnapped by his old gang. The footage was played Wednesday during 6ix9ine's testimony at the Manhattan trial of two alleged members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. One of the defendants, Anthony "Harv" Ellison, is accused of abducting and robbing 6ix9ine.

The 23-year-old 6ix9ine claimed that after Ellison and another armed man forced him into a stolen car, they beat him and drove him to his Brooklyn home. He said they stole a bag of his jewelry before releasing him.

6ix9ine was testifying as a prosecution witness after pleading guilty earlier this year. He previously testified that he had joined the gang to increase his street credibility.
