Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Faces Possible Prison Time After Admitting to Drug Possession

MIAMI, FLORIDA AND MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, JUL 23 – Tekashi 6ix9ine admitted to possessing cocaine and MDMA during supervised release, violating probation terms from his 2018 racketeering conviction, with sentencing set for September.

  • Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez, will be sentenced on September 25 for violating his supervised release conditions by possessing drugs.
  • His conviction is related to a 2018 racketeering case involving the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, and during a March 12 search of his Miami residence, authorities found cocaine and MDMA.
  • Judge Paul Engelmayer has already sentenced Hernandez to 45 days in federal custody and warned that further violations will bring severe consequences.
  • Federal sentencing guidelines recommend a prison term ranging from three to nine months per count, though Hernandez faces statutory penalties that could include up to five years behind bars and supervised release for the remainder of his life.
  • Hernandez’s sentencing may complicate his legal status and career trajectory, reflecting ongoing challenges despite earlier lenient treatment and cooperation with prosecutors.
