Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has reached a significant agreement that will allow him to conclude his current jail stint, according to federal prosecutors.
The deal, which was partially endorsed by a Manhattan federal judge, stipulates that the rapper will serve one month in jail for violating the terms of his release following a felony conviction.
The arrangement includes a month of incarceration, followed by a month of home confinement, a month of house arrest, and an additional month under curfew.
Tekashi, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, will also be subject to electronic monitoring during this period. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer indicated that he will formally sentence the rapper after he admits to the violations at a hearing scheduled for November 12.
The agreement requires both parties to justify why this sentence is appropriate given Tekashi’s repeated probation violations. He was arrested on October 29 after his probation officer reported that he failed to adhere to travel regulations and had tested positive for drugs.
In 2019, Tekashi was sentenced to two years in prison for racketeering charges related to his affiliation with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.
He was released early in April 2020 due to health concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which raised questions about his vulnerability in prison settings.At a previous court appearance, Judge Engelmayer expressed disappointment over Tekashi’s disregard for probation rules, especially after granting him compassionate release during the pandemic.
In response, the rapper apologized and insisted that he is not a bad person.This latest development marks another chapter in Tekashi 6ix9ine’s tumultuous legal journey as he navigates the complexities of his probation and seeks to move forward from his past legal troubles. The upcoming hearing will determine the final terms of his sentencing and whether he can successfully complete his obligations without further incident.
