NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine<\/a> was sentenced to three more months in prison Friday for violating the terms of his supervised release in a New York gang case by assaulting a man and possessing drugs.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old artist from Brooklyn, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, admitted to the violations during a hearing in federal court in Manhattan, where Judge Paul Engelmayer expressed frustration that Hernandez keeps getting into trouble. The rapper got a 45-day sentence<\/a> late last year for breaking the supervised release terms.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom time to time your actions suggest that you believe that ordinary rules don\u2019t apply to you,\u201d said the judge, who said another prison sentence was needed to send a message to Hernandez.<\/p>\n

Hernandez, who shot to fame with the 2017 release of his song \u201cGummo,\u201d gave a lengthy speech in court, describing several episodes where he and his relatives were harassed and threatened because of his cooperation with authorities in the gang case. <\/p>\n

\u201cUnknown individuals left a coffin in front of my house with an animal in it to send me a message,\u201d he said. \u201cThree masked gunmen held my mom at gunpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hernandez pleaded guilty in 2018 to his involvement with a violent New York-based gang, the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. He was handed a lenient sentence of two years in prison<\/a> in 2019 followed by five years of supervised release for his cooperation in the racketeering case against gang members.<\/p>\n

He was even released from federal prison several months early during the height of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s sentence was related to small amounts of cocaine and ecstasy being found at the rapper\u2019s Miami home during a police raid in March, and his punching a man who taunted him at a Florida mall in August over his cooperation against gang members. His lawyer had requested six months of home confinement for the violations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to three more months in prison Friday for violating…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":427948,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[2122,356,4219,10407,50849,168,20228,171,6064,723,57,362,181121,5249,380,975,405,403,34163,199101,199100,61,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-427947","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-arts-and-entertainment","9":"tag-courts","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-criminal-punishment","12":"tag-daniel-hernandez","13":"tag-domestic-news","14":"tag-drug-crimes","15":"tag-entertainment","16":"tag-fl-state-wire","17":"tag-florida","18":"tag-general-news","19":"tag-legal-proceedings","20":"tag-local-news-for-apple","21":"tag-manhattan","22":"tag-miami","23":"tag-music","24":"tag-new-york","25":"tag-new-york-city","26":"tag-organized-crime","27":"tag-paul-engelmayer","28":"tag-tekashi69","29":"tag-u-s-news","30":"tag-united-states","31":"tag-unitedstates","32":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115670601242894990","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/427948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
