Tekashi 6ix9ine Takes Plea Deal Over Probation Violations, Will Serve One Month In Prison

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine reached a deal with federal prosecutors after his recent arrest over alleged violations of his supervised release.

The rapper was charged last week with breaking the terms of his years-long probation, which stems from a 2018 plea deal he struck with prosecutors over his involvement with a gang called Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. The sentence was set to run until July 2020, but Tekashi was released early, in April 2020, after his attorneys argued that the coronavirus pandemic posed an increased risk to him because he has asthma. At his arraignment hearing, the rapper pleaded not guilty and his attorney argued that the failed drug test was from the use of prescribed Adderall.
