Tekashi 6ix9ine, the controversial rapper known for his rainbow-colored hair and face tattoos, has struck a deal with prosecutors and agreed to serve one month in jail. The 25-year-old artist, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was arrested last month for violating the conditions of his supervised release.
According to court documents, 6ix9ine was arrested on July 11th for failing to meet the requirements of his supervised release, which included refraining from committing any new crimes and participating in community service. The rapper was initially sentenced to four years of probation in 2018 after pleading guilty to charges related to his involvement in a violent street gang.
However, 6ix9ine’s legal troubles continued when he was arrested again in 2019 on federal racketeering and firearms charges. He ultimately cooperated with prosecutors and testified against his former gang associates, leading to a reduced sentence of two years in prison. He was released early in April 2020 due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since his release, 6ix9ine has been under strict supervision and has been required to follow a curfew, undergo drug testing, and complete community service. However, he was arrested last month for failing to meet these conditions, leading to his current legal situation.
Under the terms of the new deal, 6ix9ine will serve one month in jail and will then be released on probation for the remainder of his sentence. He will also be required to complete 300 hours of community service and continue to undergo drug testing. If he violates any of these conditions, he could face additional jail time.
This latest development in 6ix9ine’s legal saga comes as no surprise to many, as the rapper has a history of legal troubles and controversial behavior. However, it remains to be seen if this will be a turning point for the artist, who has faced criticism for his past actions and music.
Regardless, 6ix9ine’s fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how he handles this latest setback and if he can turn his life around.
