Billy Ado Breaks His Silence on 6ix9ine’s Return, The Future of 9 Trey, and Life After Prison.
In a rare, no-holds-barred sit-down with No Jumper, Billy Ado—one of the key original faces of the Treyway movement—returned to unpack his years behind bars, the myths around 6ix9ine’s comeback, and what the Nine Trey Bloods really stand for in 2025.
The last time Billy appeared on No Jumper, the interview racked up over 2.2 million views. Now, after 17 months of freedom following a three-year state bid for gun charges (and a prior 12-year federal stretch), he’s back, older, clearer, and visibly changed.
“The first time, I was a kid—strict Caribbean mom, no freedom. Prison felt like more freedom than my house,” he said with a smirk. “This time? I had businesses, money, a name. You watching life move while you can’t. That’s depressing.”
🚨 The 2020 Raid & What Sent Him Back
Billy managed to dodge the massive Treyway federal RICO indictment that took down figures like Shotti and Nuke. But in 2020, things went left again.
According to him, police raided his house without a warrant during the height of the Treyway investigations and found multiple firearms. Unlike the federal case, this time there were no conspiracy or racketeering charges—just the guns.
He went in quietly in 2021, served three years, and came home last year, now fully off parole and living in what he calls “a peaceful zip code.”
“I learned to move quiet,” Billy said. “If I gotta say less to live more, then that’s what I’m doing.”
🧨 On 6ix9ine’s Comeback & “False Narratives”
The topic everyone wanted to hear about—6ix9ine.
Billy didn’t hold back, but he also didn’t rant. He focused on dissecting the “false narratives” that continue to fuel 6ix9ine’s mythology.
“A lot of what’s out there is made up,” Billy said. “It sounds good, it sells clips, but if you know the facts, half that sh*t don’t even add up.”
When asked why 6ix9ine can still move around so freely, Billy offered a street-smart analysis:
“Most of the real ones who’d move on him are locked up—or they know better than to touch a federal witness. And when he do move, it’s with security. That gym incident? That was random dudes, not some street plot.”
He also noted how media perception has flipped.
“Back in 2020, nobody would touch his name. Now Vlad TV giving him a multi-part interview like it’s a docuseries. The game changed. The snitch narrative don’t hold the same weight it used to.”
Still, Billy made one thing clear:
“This the last time I’m speaking on him. After this, it’s done.”
🩸 “Member” vs. “Mascot” — Was 6ix9ine Really Treyway?
When it came to defining 6ix9ine’s actual place in Nine Trey, Billy drew a line in red ink.
“He wasn’t no member. He was a mascot,” Billy said. “He ain’t get put on, he ain’t earn stripes. He was a rapper who benefited from proximity.”
He explained that in both New York and Los Angeles, being “from” a set carries a pedigree—one earned through time, geography, and credibility.
“It’s history, neighborhoods, sometimes pain. He didn’t come from that. He paid his way close to it, that’s all.”
Billy added that many of the “drills” 6ix9ine referenced in his music were either exaggerated or never included him at all.
“Half the time he was filming from the car. The footage he put out? That’s how he created his own paper trail. He documented himself into trouble.”
💼 The Treyway Business Myth
Billy also shut down the claim that Shotti “owned” Treyway.
“Treyway was never one man’s property,” he clarified. “It was a collective — a business, an LLC. Chanel (Ms. Treyway), Seiko, and others had hands on the paperwork.”
He insists that Treyway Entertainment was both a brand and a brotherhood, and it still could have a future—if handled right.
“Could Treyway still put out artists? Maybe. But it’s not gonna be one dude making that call. It’s a collective decision now.”
He gave a brief status update: Shotti, Harv, and Nuke remain locked up, but Mel Murda is free. Billy lit up when mentioning his longtime friend:
“That’s my dog. People tried to spin it like nobody looked out when Mel came home, but that’s cap. If he wanted a jet, we’d have got him one. He took the train by choice.”
🔯 Nine Trey: “A Creed, Not a Gang”
Perhaps the biggest shift came when Billy redefined what Nine Trey means to him today.
“It’s not a gang to me no more. It’s a creed — Brotherly Love Overriding Oppression & Destruction.”
He still claims the identity but distances himself from the violence and chaos that defined the brand during its peak.
“I’m not beefing with kids. I’m not gangbanging. I’m a revolutionist. If you threaten me, I’ll stand my ground. But I’m not out here chasing destruction.”
He said the younger generation needs to learn that “being from something” doesn’t mean dying for it.
“It’s about evolution. You can represent your roots without losing your future.”
⚡ A Prophecy Fulfilled
Billy dropped one of the eeriest moments of the interview when he recalled a prediction from Nine Trey founder S.G. (Tyreek) — the man behind the Treyway concept.
“Tyreek said years ago, one day, a young recruit would get embraced by the set and end up turning informant. When I saw the clip again after everything happened—it gave me chills. It played out just like he said.”
📖 The Book: The Rise and Fall of Treyway: The Real Story
Billy revealed that during his recent bid, he handwrote an entire book — now officially released on Amazon.
“I wrote that book on commissary slips, request forms—whatever paper I could find. It’s my story: Trinidadian roots, Brooklyn streets, Treyway’s rise, the fallout, and the lessons.”
He said it’s part memoir, part cautionary tale — detailing how a music label welded itself to a street movement and exploded under the weight of fame and betrayal.
“Names are changed, but the events are real,” he emphasized. “If you wanna know what really happened, read the book. Not YouTube clips.”
💬 Life After the Noise
Now off parole and living clean, Billy says his focus is ownership, content, and storytelling. He’s rebuilding his platforms after losing multiple Instagram accounts and is investing in YouTube and independent publishing.
“I’m not chasing viral moments anymore. I’m chasing legacy,” he said. “The internet gon’ spin whatever it wants — I’m giving people the facts from the source.”
He plans to launch a podcast and documentary series in 2025, with one goal: to educate, not glorify.
🩸 Where Treyway Stands Now
Billy’s message is layered — part reflection, part redemption, part reclamation.
“Treyway ain’t dead,” he said. “It’s a brotherhood, a memory, and a warning. The street side made headlines. The business side needs better leadership. The human side—that’s what I’m working on now.”
In the end, Billy Ado isn’t chasing fame or validation. He’s chasing understanding — the kind that only comes from surviving what most people don’t.
“The story don’t end with 6ix9ine,” he said. “It ends when we stop repeating the same mistakes.”
🚨 Bottom Line
Billy Ado’s comeback interview isn’t just a sequel — it’s a statement.
He’s closing the chapter on clout-driven street politics and opening one on growth, redemption, and truth-telling.
The same man once framed as “muscle for Treyway” is now one of its clearest historians — reminding everyone that survival isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom.
“If you want the full story,” Billy said with a calm grin, “you gotta read the pages. I already lived the headlines.”
