Tekashi 6ix9ine Sentenced to 30 Days in Jail

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, is facing a month in jail after agreeing to plead guilty to violating his probation terms. Federal prosecutors have recommended a sentence that includes 30 days of incarceration, followed by a month of home incarceration, a month of home detention, and a final month of curfew, extending his supervised release by an additional year. His violations include performing in Las Vegas without permission and testing positive for meth, although his attorney claims the latter may be a false result due to prescribed Adderall. The deal requires approval from a judge, who will question the appropriateness of the proposed sentence during a hearing set for November 12. This situation follows Tekashi's earlier cooperation with authorities in a 2019 trial related to gang activities, which significantly reduced his initial prison sentence. Since his release in April 2020, he has faced ongoing legal troubles, including a recent lawsuit from an ex-girlfriend alleging abuse.
