Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Sentenced to Three Months in Prison for Latest Probation Violations
In a recent sentencing, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was handed three months behind bars for violating the terms of his probation. This latest development comes after two incidents that took place earlier this year, which sparked concerns about Hernandez's behavior and adherence to court orders.
In March, authorities raided 6ix9ine's Miami home, uncovering small amounts of cocaine and ecstasy. Five months later, in August, he was arrested for punching a man who had taunted him at a Florida mall. These incidents have raised questions about the rapper's ability to follow rules and respect authority.
During Friday's sentencing hearing, the judge overseeing the case told 6ix9ine that his actions often suggest he believes "ordinary rules don't apply to you." The rapper was ordered to report to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on January 6, 2026.
This marks the second time Hernandez has been sentenced to prison for violating probation terms. In November last year, he received a month-long sentence for failing to attend a scheduled drug test and traveling to Las Vegas without permission. The rapper had initially pleaded not guilty but eventually entered into a plea deal in February 2019, admitting to nine charges related to his involvement with the Nine Trey Bloods gang.
Hernandez's troubles date back to 2018, when he was arrested on racketeering and firearm charges related to his time with the gang. He initially pleaded not guilty but eventually entered into a plea deal, which included a sentence of nine years in prison for ordering a Nine Trey member to shoot at rival rapper Chief Keef.
The sentencing is part of a long list of legal issues that 6ix9ine has faced over nearly a decade. Just last month, Hernandez claimed his Florida home was robbed while he was away, with his mother reportedly being held captive by masked men who ransacked the property.
It remains to be seen how 6ix9ine will navigate his ongoing court cases and personal struggles. However, the latest sentencing serves as another reminder of the rapper's propensity for erratic behavior and disregard for authority.
