Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Gets 3 Months in Prison for Violating Probation in Gang Case

Tekashi 6ix9ine admitted to drug use and assault during supervised release, leading to a three-month prison sentence imposed by a Manhattan federal judge.

  • Federal court in Manhattan imposed a three-month sentence on Tekashi 6ix9ine for supervised-release violations, with reporting due on January 6, 2026.
  • Prosecutors say he repeatedly violated supervised release by possessing cocaine and MDMA and punching a man at a Florida mall after his 2018 guilty plea to racketeering with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
  • Federal prosecutors recommended three to nine months, defense attorney Lance Lazzaro sought six months of home confinement, and Judge Paul A. Engelmayer warned `From time to time your actions suggest that you believe that ordinary rules don't apply to you,` requiring another prison term.
  • He is ordered back to jail after house arrest since September and a 45-day sentence late last year, with court filings noting custodial segregation and isolation conditions.
  • In 2019, Judge Paul A. Engelmayer gave Hernandez a lenient two-year sentence in exchange for cooperation, and he was released early in 2020 amid COVID-19 concerns.
