600Breezy explains why he was listed in the paperwork surrounding XXXTENTACION's murder.

With the XXXTENTACION murder trial underway, 600Breezy is sharing his thoughts on the case. As you remember, Breezy was among the many who took issue with X during his lifetime. When X had issues with Drake, Breezy emerged to defend Drake. However, the friction between X and Breezy led to the latter’s inclusion in the paperwork for the former’s murder. As the defense shared a list of potential witnesses, they expressed interest in having 600Breezy either take the stand or sit down for a deposition.

Unfortunately, his name continues to be brought up. As the defense attempted to drag Drake into a deposition, they also mentioned Breezy’s feud with X. Ultimately, a judge shut down the deposition attempts for Drake and 600Breezy, as he felt both of them are irrelevant to the actual case. Still, the defense attorney tried to convince the judge that their participation in this trial is necessary to prove his client’s innocence. Ultimately, his efforts fell flat, especially since there's no hard evidence that can connect either Drake or 600Breezy to X's death.

600Breezy On XXXTENTACION Murder Trial

During a recent interview with VladTV, 600Breezy explained that he only landed in the paperwork for XXXTENTACION’s murder because of his infamous trip to Florida. The rapper explained that he went to Florida following X’s diss towards Drake’s mom, though he adamantly stated that he did so without Drake’s approval. However, he said that the friction between them were very real, so he understood why the defense would try to use his name.

Ultimately, Breezy said that, even with his beef with XXXTENTACION, he was in jail at the time of the rapper’s death, therefore making his testimony irrelevant to the case. However, he explained that mentioning Drake or himself in the trial will turn the entire case into something bigger than what it is. Then, 600Breezy explained that the state is trying to make an example out of the four individuals on trial because of how much of a high-profile case this is. Check out his interview above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
