Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Arrested for Alleged Violation of Supervised Release

The Controversial Rapper's Legal Troubles Continue

Daniel Hernandez, better known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, was arrested on Friday, July 22, 2023, for allegedly violating the terms of his supervised release.

Hernandez was arrested in New York City after authorities received information that he had been associating with known gang members.

The Alleged Violation

Hernandez was released from prison in April 2020, after serving two years of a two-year sentence.

The conditions of his supervised release include that he must avoid contact with known gang members and not commit any new crimes.

According to the allegations, Hernandez violated these terms by associating with members of the Nine Trey Gangster Bloods, a violent street gang.

The Potential Consequences

If Hernandez is found guilty of violating his supervised release, he could face up to two years in prison.

He could also be ordered to serve the remainder of his original sentence, which was five years.

Hernandez's Legal History

Hernandez has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions for racketeering, assault, and weapons possession.

He gained notoriety in 2017 for his music videos, which often featured violent and sexually explicit content.

In 2018, he was arrested and charged with racketeering, conspiracy to commit murder, and weapons possession.

He pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to two years in prison.

The Impact on His Career

Hernandez's arrest is likely to have a significant impact on his music career.

He was set to release a new album later this year, but it is unclear if the album will still be released.

It is also possible that Hernandez's record label will drop him, as they may not want to be associated with someone who is facing criminal charges.
