Tekashi 6ix9ine, known for his controversial persona and high-energy music, once again finds himself entangled in legal troubles. The 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was detained recently for allegedly violating the conditions of his supervised release. His latest run-in with the law comes amid efforts to secure a stable future in the music industry, including a new record deal with Kartel Music valued at over $6 million.
Authorities arrested Tekashi 6ix9ine on October 29 in New York, accusing him of repeatedly breaching the terms of his supervised release. His attorney, Lance Lazzaro, revealed that the rapper was notified of these violations two weeks prior and was scheduled to appear in court on the day of his arrest. However, arriving an hour late to the courthouse, Tekashi’s delay reportedly led the judge to dispatch U.
S. Marshals to locate him. Lazzaro, however, maintains that Tekashi ultimately arrived voluntarily.
The Alleged Violations: Missing Tests, Drug Use, And Travel Reports indicate that Tekashi is accused of violating his probation terms on three different occasions. Among the violations, he reportedly traveled to Las Vegas without permission, failed to take a mandatory drug test, and tested positive for methamphetamine. His attorney contests the validity of the drug test, asserting that the positive result could be due to Tekashi’s prescribed Adderall, a common treatment for ADHD.
These violations may have significant repercussions.
