Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, has been arrested for allegedly violating the terms of his supervised release. According to reports, the 25-year-old artist failed to attend a mandatory drug test and subsequently tested positive for methamphetamine.
Hernandez was originally sentenced to four years of supervised release in 2019 after pleading guilty to racketeering, firearms, and drug charges. He was also ordered to complete 300 hours of community service and pay a $35,000 fine. However, due to his cooperation with authorities, his sentence was reduced to two years.
The rapper’s recent arrest comes after a string of legal troubles, including a 2018 arrest for assaulting a police officer and a 2019 arrest for racketeering and firearms charges. He was also involved in a high-profile trial where he testified against members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang, leading to their convictions.
Hernandez’s lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, has stated that his client denies the allegations and plans to fight the charges. Lazzaro also argued that the positive drug test could have been a result of a tainted energy drink that Hernandez consumed.
This latest arrest could have serious consequences for the rapper, as violating the terms of his supervised release could result in him serving the remainder of his original four-year sentence. It is unclear at this time what the outcome of the case will be, but Hernandez will have to face a judge in the coming weeks to address the alleged violation.
Fans and critics alike have been closely following Hernandez’s legal troubles, with many expressing concern for his well-being and future in the music industry. Only time will tell how this latest arrest will affect his career and personal life.
