NEW YORK — Daniel Hernández, the rapper known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, was sentenced on Tuesday to a month and a half in prison for several violations of his supervised release.

The sentence is slightly higher than what federal prosecutors were asking for.

“His abuse of the court’s trust runs deep,” Judge Paul Engelmayer said.

Hernandez pleaded guilty to five violations, including traveling without permission to Las Vegas and Sarasota, FL, failing drug tests twice, and testing positive for methamphetamines.

“Five violations tell me that you believe the rules don’t apply to you,” Engelmayer said. “Maybe you think that because you’re a famous rapper, Tekashi 6×9.”

Hernández accepted responsibility for the violations but asked the judge for leniency.

“I don’t want to go back to the box,” Hernandez told the judge.

Engelmayer in 2020 granted Hernandez early release from prison following a plea deal he reached in 2018 for his involvement with a violent street gang.

Tekashi was indicted in November 2018 on federal charges of racketeering and conspiracy to murder as part of his association with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. Prosecutors alleged that the gang “wreaked havoc in New York City” by “engaging in brazen acts of violence.”

Tekashi pleaded guilty and agreed to betray his gang in exchange for leniency.
