Rapper 6ix9ine Back to Prison for Violations

Rapper Daniel Hernandez, widely known as 6ix9ine, is returning to prison after a judge sentenced him to three months for violating his supervised release. Prosecutors had recommended a sentence between three and nine months for the controversial artist.

This sentencing is the latest development in his ongoing legal battles, which originated from a 2018 racketeering case. Hernandez had previously testified against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, leading to his early release in 2020. However, he has repeatedly breached the terms of his five-year supervised release.

Recent violations include pleading guilty in November 2024 to drug use and traveling without permission, leading to jail time and extended supervision. Further incidents involved cocaine and MDMA possession and an assault in August. His defense argued that incarceration would be more dangerous for him than for a typical inmate due to his segregated confinement.
