Tekashi 6ix9ine is said to be having trouble finding anyone to work the round-the-clock security detail he will need to keep when he gets released from prison late this summer.

Word is, none of his old bodyguards will work with him because there is too much heat on the notorious troll and rat.

Now OnSmash is reporting that 6ix9ine may have his back watched by an unlikely source.  

Snow Billy was Tekashi 6ix9ine's first manager.  Then he fell out with some of the other Nine Treys and as part of 6ix9ine's gang initiation, Shotti got Tekashi to participate in a hit on Snow Billy that resulted in Billy taking one in the head and one in the neck but surviving. 

Fast forward to now.  Snitch9 and Billy share a common enemy in Shotti, and Snow's Billy Bad Azz Security will be providing the muscle to protect Tekashi as he resumes his music career.  6ix9ine's label -- who have already invested $10 million in 6ix9ine -- are likely to foot the substantial bill.
