Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Arrested, Charged With Violating Plea Deal Parole Rules

Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested and charged with violating his parole, which stemmed from a 2018 plea deal on gang charges.

The hearing featured arguments from Lazzaro that the failed drug test was from the use of prescribed Adderall, according to Josh Russell of Courthouse News — but the judge was apparently unswayed, citing a “broader pattern” of misconduct during parole that he said suggests a “full spectrum disregard for the law.” Once a rising star in the world of hip-hop and social media, Tekashi was charged in November 2018 alongside several other members of Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, who prosecutors claimed “wreaked havoc on New York City” by “engaging in brazen acts of violence.” The prison sentence was set to run until July 2020, but Hernandez was released early, in April 2020, after his attorneys argued that the COVID-19 pandemic posed an increased risk to him because he suffers from asthma.
