With just hours remaining until rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine<\/strong> learns his fate in the drugs and weapons case<\/a> against him, two victims of a robbery alleged to be orchestrated by the gang he belonged to are speaking out. <\/p>\n

In victim impact statements filed in Manhattan Federal Court and obtained by E! News, former publicist Skyy Daniels and her then-assistant, whose name is redacted in the documents, recount the events of April 3, 2018 and the lasting effects it continue to has on their lives more than a year later.<\/p>\n

“Once a thriving publicist, videographer, film editor, this violent event has set my life on the wrong course, and destroyed the normal adulthood that I was striving for,” the anonymous individual wrote in the statement. <\/p>\n

Daniels and her assistant claim they were exiting a building in Midtown Manhattan together when they were held at gunpoint by a group of masked men, later identified as members of the Nine Trey Bloods gang. Tekashi, who previously detailed the robbery on the witness stand, filmed the incident from a nearby car. However, the intended victims of the robbery were actually members of Houston label Rap-A-Lot Records, rivals of Tekashi’s gang. Footage of the robbery taken by Tekashi was disseminated online.<\/p>\n

“I was targeted by Tekashi69 but the whole thing was a sad case of mistaken identity,” Daniels stated, whose backpack full of “high-end personal items and several important business confidential hard drives” were taken during the robbery. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“As a result of this entire ordeal,” Daniels stated, “I have suffered greatly from mental anguish and emotional distress. So traumatized by this aftermath, that over a year later, I have had a difficult time getting past the incident suffering from what we believe is post-traumatic stress disorder.”<\/p>\n

Daniels said she is “unable” to complete “simple” tasks, has lost her job and moved to Texas to “avoid the watchful eyes of Tekashi69’s network.”<\/p>\n

“My entire career and my assistant and lifelong dreams were destroyed as a result of this horrific event,” she also wrote in the letter. “I have been struggling to get back on my feet. Financially, I was ruined, which has caused a great deal of stress. I need counseling but unable to afford it. Presently, I am on various anxiety medications and sleep aids. Sadly, I am unable to eat at times, unable to sleep, having nightmares, and has also been suffering from depression. [sic]”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Like Daniels, her assistant said they “became a recluse” following the robbery, adding in the statement, “I stopped working as a publicist, I minimized the amount of time I spent in public as I was still very scared for my life. I tried going to the police but no one would take my report. I felt I was being silenced and if that was the case, I would live silently. I would not do anything to draw extra attention to myself.”<\/p>\n

“Everyday of my life I live in constant fear that someone (his goons\/supporters\/constituents) will be sent to finish the job. It hurts me so much,” the individual further stated. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The victim impact statements conclude with a plea: “How much is my life worth? How much was my assistant’s life worth? Did I deserve to die, hundreds of thousands of miles away from my grandchildren? I feel that Daniel Hernandez, Tekashi, is liable and should be held legally and monetarily responsible for emotional distress, damages, losses and so much more.”<\/p>\n

Daniels’ former assistant wrote, “Please think about me and think about my life when you sentence this person. Why should this person, who nearly ended my life, be free when I am not free?”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In February, Tekashi (whose real name is Daniel Hernandez<\/strong>) plead guilty to nine charges. He agreed to work with prosecutors and testify against<\/a> other gang members in exchange for a possibly more lenient sentence. <\/p>\n

E! News has reached out to his attorney for comment. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
