Controversies continue to shadow rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, also known as Daniel Hernandez, who recently struck a deal with federal prosecutors to end his current jail stint. The deal outlined by prosecutors and partially endorsed by Manhattan federal Judge Paul A. Engelmayer includes a month behind bars which is to be followed by three months of graduated confinement: a month each of home incarceration, detention, and curfew, respectively, complete with electronic monitoring. According to
NBC New York
, this arrangement comes after Hernandez failed to adhere to court-mandated travel permissions and drug test requisites.
Engelmayer has set a hearing for next Tuesday, Nov. 12, to finalize sentencing, where he expects both parties to justify why this tailored punishment should be deemed appropriate. Tekashi 6ix9ine, within striking distance of freedom from court supervision, now finds himself facing scrutiny, for a pattern of breaking his probation terms—this time involving alleged unapproved travel and failed drug tests. In a statement obtained by
NBC New York
, the rapper apologized during a hearing last month, claiming he was “not a bad person.”
The
New York Post
reported additional details on Tekashi’s legal complications, which shed light on an escalating disregard for judicial directives. After being an hour late to a court appointment—which his attorney ascribed to waking up late—Judge Engelmayer rebuked Tekashi for his “full spectrum disregard for the law” and ordered his temporary incarceration until the upcoming court hearing.
Allegations include two recent positive tests for methamphetamine. According to his lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, this result was due to a mix-up, as his client takes Adderall, a prescription medication containing methamphetamine. Judge Engelmayer also highlighted concerns over Tekashi’s previous arrests, including incidents in the Dominican Republic and Florida for excessive speeding. The rapper’s past plea deal, which reduced his prison sentence in exchange for cooperation as a government witness, now appears at odds with these recent legal issues.
