Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine reaches agreement to end prison sentence – NBC New York

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has reached a deal to end his current prison term, agreeing to serve one month behind bars for violating the terms of his release following a felony conviction, prosecutors said Wednesday.

The agreement with federal prosecutors was outlined in a letter partially endorsed by a federal judge in Manhattan. It calls for the artist to be sentenced to one month in jail, followed by one month of home confinement, one month of house arrest and one month of curfew. He would also be subject to electronic surveillance.

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer said he will sentence the artist whose real name is Daniel Hernandez immediately after he admits to the violations at a Nov. 12 hearing. He said he will ask each party to explain why a sentence of one month in jail followed by three months of home confinement, detention or curfew are sufficient for repeated probation violations.

The terms of the agreement also require Tekashi 6ix9ine to submit to supervision by the court’s Probation Department for an additional year.

Tekashi 6ix9ine, 28, was just months away from being released from court supervision when he was arrested on Oct. 29 after his probation officer complained that he wasn’t following rules about getting advance permission to traveling and that he had not tested positive for drugs. .

In 2019, Engelmayer sentenced him to two years in prison in a racketeering case after the musician pleaded guilty that same year to charges accusing him of joining and directing violence by the gang known as the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

In April 2020, Tekashi 6ix9ine was released months early from his prison sentence after complaining that his ailments made him particularly susceptible to the coronavirus, which was spreading through the country’s jails and prisons.

Engelmayer, expressing dismay at the artist’s apparent failure to follow the rules, noted at a hearing last month that he had granted him compassionate release during the coronavirus crisis.

The rapper apologized and told the judge that he “wasn’t a bad person.”
