Snoop Dogg's Post About Martha Stewart After Tekashi 69 Snitched Is Gold

Rapper Tekashi 69, whose birth name is Daniel Hernandez, faces a lengthy jail sentence after being charged on 17 counts in total extending as far back as 2013. Those charges include racketeering and firearm possession. In a bid to lower a potential sentence, Tekashi has accused fellow rapper Jim Jones and Cardi B of being members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.
Cardi B had previously said she was a member of the Bloods, but in a now-deleted tweet, Cardi said that she was actually associated with a different set of Bloods called Brim, not Nine Trey.
A representative for Cardi told Buzzfeed News, "This news is not true."
“I used to pop off with my homies,” Cardi said in a 2018 profile by former GQ writer Caity Weaver. "And they'd say, 'Yo, you really get it poppin'. You should come home. You should turn Blood.' And I did. Yes, I did. And something that — it's not like, oh, you leave. You don't leave.”
Tekashi's decision to start naming names hasn't gone down well with many. Among those labeling the rapper as a "snitch" is Snoop Dogg, who uploaded a series of memes about the subject to his Instagram account.
But one of Snoop's memes is standing out from the rest. The meme features one of his friends, Martha Stewart, who spent five months in a minimum-security federal prison in West Virginia after lying about some stocks she sold.
Snoop decided to post a reminder to all of his followers in a meme that read: "As we watch Tekashi 69 (or whatever his name is) snitch on EVERYBODY, I invite you all to remember Martha Stewart snitched on NOT ONE soul during her trial. Baby girl kept it 10 toes down and ate that prison sentence by herself, like the true baddie she is."
"That’s my. M. F. Home girl," Snoop Dogg captioned the image. "Solid as a rocc."
Friend. Goals.
Buzzfeed tracked Snoop's meme to a Facebook status written by Jocelyn Coney.
"I graduated from Long Beach State, so when I saw Snoop Dogg quoted my status I was like, 'One more time for the LBC!'" Jocelyn told BuzzFeed. "But in all seriousness, I’m glad he thought it was funny! I didn’t expect the status to blow up."
Fans mad mixed opinions on the meme, with one writing: "Martha Stewart is definitely solid as a rock - ethics is hard to find now and she has them. Love to see your friendship."
While another user added: "Yeah, but she wasn’t up in jail for life . So different scenario."
While another concluded: "Martha Stewart is my girl!!! I knew she was gangsta when she made her own cheese-it's, way better than Nabisco. That's gangsta."
