6 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Tekashi 6ix9ine received an additional three months in prison.
- Violations included assaulting a man and possessing illegal drugs.
- The judge expressed frustration with the rapper's repeated offenses.
Daniel Hernandez, known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, faces three more months incarcerated after violating the terms of his supervised release. The Brooklyn-born artist admitted to assaulting a man and possessing cocaine and ecstasy during a court hearing. Judge Paul Engelmayer expressed dismay at the rapper's ongoing legal troubles, noting a pattern of behavior.
Hernandez, who gained fame with his 2017 hit 'Gummo,' detailed threats and harassment he and his family endured due to his cooperation in a gang case. He shared incidents like a coffin being left at his home and armed assailants confronting his mother.
This sentence is linked to a March police raid where drugs were found at his Miami residence and an August incident where he punched a man at a mall. The rapper's legal team had sought home confinement as an alternative.
