Tekashi 6ix9ine was thrown behind bars for at least two weeks Tuesday for
a slew of alleged violations ù including testing positive for
methamphetamine, taking a trip to Las Vegas and showing up an hour late to court.
Manhattan federal Judge Paul Engelmayer ripped the traditionally rainbow- haired rapper ù whose real name is Daniel Hernandez ù for having a ôfull spectrum disregard for the lawö and violating terms of his supervised
release.
Tekashi has been a free man since 2020, when he was released following a two-year prison stint on charges including conspiracy to commit murder
related to his ties to the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.
He was due in court at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday ù but was an hour late,
infuriating Engelmayer, who ordered his arrest.
ôIÆm not a bad person,ö Tekashi, 28, said in court during an afternoon
hearing, noting that heÆd flown into New York Monday night from Florida.
ôI woke up late.ö
Prosecutor Jonathan Rebold told Engelmayer that the inked-up ôGummoö
rapper has tested positive for meth twice in the last two weeks ù and blew
off a drug test ù despite having about six months left on his five-year
term of supervised release.
Tekashi was supposed to stay out of trouble as part of that release.
Lance Lazzaro, a lawyer for the alleged serial offender, claimed it was
simply a mix-up that his client tested positive for meth, since he takes
the prescription drug Adderall, which contains methamphetamine.
Prosecutors also accused Tekashi of taking an unsanctioned trip to Las
Vegas for a concert.
Engelmayer also brought up his many arrests since his release ù including
a bust in the Dominican Republic and an arrest in Florida for driving 136
mph in a 65-mph zone ù as part of what he called a pattern of flouting the
law.
The judge said Tekashi showed a ôbroader patternö of misbehavior and
ordered him thrown behind bars until the next court hearing on Nov. 12,
when they would discuss whether the musician should be let free.
Tekashi has a stunning list of legal woes. The embattled snitch was
arrested in the Dominican Republic for allegedly assaulting his
girlfriend, Yailøn la Mßs Viral, in January. HeÆd also been busted for allegedly assaulting two music producers in the Dominican Republic and had pleaded guilty in 2015 to using a 13-year-old in a sexual performance.
TekashiÆs testimony in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods trial helped put away
his former fellow gangbangers ù including a gang leader who got a 17-year sentence on drug dealing and racketeering charges.
The hip-hop provocateur hatched a plea deal with the feds that got him
leniency ù just two years in prison ù in exchange for ratting out the gang members.
