During a recent phone interview with Rap Radar, the former music executive refuted ongoing claims that his relationship with Sara Molina more than platonic.

"That's not true at all. Everything that you hear online is coming from... I guess the PR team he's working with. I don't know who it is," Shotti told the reporter.

"We had a relationship as friends because, you know, we spent a lot of time together. But other than that, it's all made up. I don't even see why he would say that. That's embarrassing for him. I don't think he started the rumor."

"We definitely had a relationship, but it wasn't on the terms of having sex or nothing like that," he added. "It was all about family and friendship."

Molina herself has previously denied the claims. Elsewhere during his interview, Shotti suggested that 6ix9ine barely knows his current girlfriend Jade.

"Oh, that's his girl, though?" he said of Jade. "Yeah, I met her the same time he met her, like, my people paid for her fly out to LA for him to meet her, you know what I'm saying?"

"He probably met that girl six or seven days before he got arrested. They don't even know each other."

During an interview with Vlad TV earlier year, Sara Molina claimed that 6ix9ine got “a few” women pregnant during their relationship, adding that one of them may have been born. 

Soon after the interview was published, Shotti was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in the 6ix9ine racketeering case.
