Tekashi 6ix9ine Agrees to Serve Month in Jail for Violating Probation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rapper’s Deal with Federal Prosecutors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has struck a deal with federal prosecutors to end his current jail stint. According to a letter partially endorsed by a Manhattan federal judge, the deal calls for the entertainer to serve a month in jail, followed by a month of home incarceration, a month of home detention, and a month of curfew. He will also be subject to electronic monitoring.<\/p>\n

Terms of the Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n

The terms of the deal require Tekashi 6ix9ine to submit to supervision from the court’s Probation Department for another year. The deal also calls for him to admit to the violations at a November 12 hearing, after which Judge Paul A. Engelmayer will sentence him.<\/p>\n

Background on the Case<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was arrested on October 29 after his probation officer complained that he wasn’t following rules about obtaining permission in advance to travel and that he had failed drug tests. He was within a few months of being free from court supervision when he was arrested.<\/p>\n

Previous Conviction and Sentence<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2019, Engelmayer sentenced Tekashi 6ix9ine to two years in prison in a racketeering case after the musician pleaded guilty to charges accusing him of joining and directing violence by the gang known as the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.<\/p>\n

Early Release from Prison<\/strong><\/p>\n

In April 2020, Tekashi 6ix9ine was freed months early from his prison sentence after complaining that his ailments made him particularly susceptible to the coronavirus, which was spreading through the nation’s jails and prisons.<\/p>\n

Judge’s Reaction to the Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Engelmayer, expressing dismay at the artist’s apparent failure to follow the rules, noted at a hearing last month that he had granted compassionate release to him during the coronavirus crisis. The rapper apologized and told the judge he was "not a bad person."<\/p>\n
