French Montana explains the similarities between 6ix9ine and Max B.

Tekashi 6ix9ine is currently facing the possibility of being sentenced to life behind bars after he was indicted on racketeering and firearms charges. The unfortunate part of all of this is that people like Charlamagne Tha God and Fat Joe tried to warn the young rapper to move more carefully. French Montana recently spoke about 6ix9ine's charges, saying that the scenario seems all too familiar.

While sitting down with Justin Credible at Power 106, the Bronx rapper revealed that he sees a lot of similarities between Tekashi 6ix9ine and his incarcerated friend, Max B, who was sentenced to 75 years in prison after he was found guilty of murder conspiracy and robbery charges.

"I was in the same space, the 6ix9ine space. 6ix9ine is Max B, reincarnated, with different color hair 'cause he still got he perm Max B had," he said. "We had the Coke Wave DVDs, they got Instagram. It's the same thing. So when Max B thing happened, it was just like somebody trying to get out of the blackhole so you're going to do whatever it takes to get out of the blackhole 'cause you know, if you don't do whatever it takes, you're going to go back to the same thing, on the block. Basically, it's a lose-lose situation."

He added, "Negative energy always comes back to you... positive energy is something that when you put it out there, it's so many different forms that come back to you. Just because somebody don't kill you, doesn't mean they won't kill you psychologically. When we and max was running around, it was the same shit."
