Tekashi 6ix9ine sentenced to 3 months in prison for violating supervised release, cocaine possession, and assault.

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine (Daniel Hernandez), 29, was sentenced to three months in prison for violating his supervised release, admitting to assault at a Florida mall and possessing cocaine and ecstasy during a Miami raid. The Brooklyn native, who previously served a lenient sentence for 2018 gang-related charges, has been under federal supervision since his 2020 early release. Judge Paul Engelmayer stressed that repeated legal violations have consequences, rejecting Hernandez’s attorney’s request for six months of home confinement. Hernandez cited threats and harassment—including a coffin left at his home and his mother being held at gunpoint—as factors in his actions.
