Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was arrested in New York for allegedly violating the conditions of his supervised release from a 2020 prison sentence. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer ordered his detention for at least two weeks, citing violations such as unauthorized travel, failing drug tests, and testing positive for methamphetamine. Hernandez was previously sentenced for racketeering and conspiracy to commit murder charges linked to the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, with a reduced sentence after cooperating with authorities. His lawyer argues that some violations, like the positive drug test, were misunderstandings involving prescribed medication. Hernandez's next court hearing is set for November 12, 2024, where further decisions on his detainment will be made. His arrest follows a series of legal troubles, including a recent domestic violence case in the Dominican Republic.
