In a recent turn of events, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez, is facing a 45-day prison sentence due to multiple probation violations. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer of Manhattan, who administered Tekashi 6ix9ine's two-year sentence five years prior for his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, found the rapper's recent conduct indicative of disregard for judicial system protocols, as reported by NBC New York.

Despite the rapper's requests for leniency in which he expressed his regret, stating he was "very sorry" and admitting "I let myself down. I let my family down," Engelmayer remained resolute in the enforcement of law, highlighting that even a “famous and wealthy rapper” must adhere to the same standards, according to a statement obtained by ABC News. Tekashi 6ix9ine's probation infringements included missed drug tests, unauthorized travel, and deceptive communications with his officer.

The artist's history with the criminal justice system extends back to 2018 when charges were pressed against him for his involvement with the violent gang and efforts to propagate violence against rivals. Following his prison term, the rapper will undergo a month of house incarceration, a month of home detention, and a curfew along with a one-year extension on his probation; additionally, international travel bans and electronic monitoring will be imposed.

In a compassionate move by the court, during April 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tekashi 6ix9ine received an early release due to health concerns exacerbated by his asthma condition, the disease claiming its relentless toll across incarcerated populations, NBC New York provided this detail. Judge Engelmayer expressed the parole violations, though not the most egregious, represented a notable departure from the court's established trust, an erosion underlined by further incidents in the Dominican Republic and a speeding violation, as per ABC News.
