Before Tekashi 6ix9ine got locked up, he entered into a deal with Trax NYC to make him a Cuban Link choker.

Later in the interview, he reveals that 50 Cent's jeweler -- a competitor -- sold him ladies jewelry.

"Your jeweler is not your friend," he said in a message to Fif. "Because if he was he wouldn't have let you walk out of the store wearing ladies jewelry ... you kinda embarrassed yourself wearing the princess collection."
