Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Sentenced to Three Months in Prison for Latest Probation Violations
In a latest twist, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has been sentenced to three months in prison following the discovery of drugs at his Miami home and an incident where he punched a man who taunted him at a Florida mall. The rapper's latest probation violation stems from these incidents, which occurred while he was still under supervised release after being involved in a New York gang case.
During the sentencing hearing on Friday, Judge overseeing the case told Hernandez that his actions "suggest that you believe that ordinary rules don't apply to you." This marks the second time Hernandez has been ordered back to prison for probation violations following his plea deal in the federal racketeering and firearms case. In November 2024, Hernandez was sentenced to a month behind bars for failing to attend a scheduled drug test and traveling to Las Vegas without permission.
Hernandez's troubles began in 2018 when he was arrested on racketeering and firearm charges related to his involvement with the Nine Trey Bloods gang. After initially pleading not guilty, Hernandez entered into a plea deal in February 2019 and pleaded guilty to nine charges, admitting that he had ordered a Nine Trey member to shoot at rival rapper Chief Keef.
The sentencing is part of a long list of legal issues Hernandez has faced for nearly a decade. Last month, Hernandez claimed his Florida home was robbed while he was away, with his mother reportedly "held" while masked men "ran inside and ransacked the property."
Hernandez will now report to Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn on January 6, 2026, marking another turn in his ongoing battle with the law.
