Last November, Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to 45 days behind bars for violating probation

In November 2024, 6ix9ine received a 45-day prison sentence for reportedly violating probation conditions in connection to a racketeering case, as per AllHipHop. Judge Paul Engelmayer then told 6ix9ine:

"Your breach of the court’s trust is profound. Five violations say to me that you believe the rules don’t apply to you. Maybe you believe that because you’re a famous rapper."

A November 2024 report by AllHipHop stated the violations apparently done by the rapper. The list included testing positive for meth, failing to comply with drug testing twice, and traveling to Las Vegas and Sarasota without sufficient permission while being on probation.

While prosecutors were up for sentencing of a month in jail, Judge Engelmayer wanted to opt for a longer sentence of about two to three months. Along with the 45-day sentencing, the judge also warned the rapper of a much longer sentence if the violations were repeated again.

For context, 6ix9ine, aka Daniel Hernandez, was taken into custody in 2019 in connection to a racketeering case. In the case, the rapper received a sentencing according to which he had to spend about two years in prison and five years of supervised release.

Earlier this week, his assets, including jewelry and platinum music plaques, were auctioned off after he reportedly failed to pay his taxes.

Back in 2024, he also got involved with law enforcement in another case. His former girlfriend, Yailin La Más Viral, accused him of domestic violence, which eventually led to his arrest as well. In September, he was charged with nonconsensual p*rnography, battery, fraud, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

According to AllHipHop, Yailin sought damages worth at least a million dollars. She further claimed being "physically, s*xually and emotionally abused" by the rapper. In the suit, she also accused the rapper of drugging and then stealing from her.
