Paul's Risky Ringwalk: 6ix9ine Faces Prison
20 Dec
Summary
- Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine joined Jake Paul's ringwalk despite upcoming prison sentence.
- Tekashi 6ix9ine is due back in prison on January 6.
- The rapper pleaded guilty to drug possession and assault charges.
Jake Paul's choice to have controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine accompany him for his ringwalk on Friday night has drawn criticism. This decision came despite the rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, facing a return to prison next month. Hernandez is scheduled to report back to incarceration on January 6.
The New York rapper's legal troubles include pleading guilty to charges of cocaine and ecstasy possession. He also admitted to assaulting an individual in a mall who called him a "snitch." Hernandez had been on probation since his return in 2020 after cooperating with authorities against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
This high-profile boxing event, broadcast on Netflix, provided a significant platform. The rapper's upcoming return to prison follows a raid on his Florida home by federal agents in March, where firearms and drugs were seized. Paul himself was dressed as Hulk Hogan for the occasion in Miami.
