NEW YORK – Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested Tuesday in New York City for alleged violations stemming from his two-year prison sentence several years ago in a racial slur case.
The translator, whose real name is Daniel Hernández, was expected to appear on Tuesday afternoon before the federal judge who sentenced him in December 2019.
His conviction came after he pleaded guilty in 2019 to charges that accused him of inciting and directing violence with the group known as the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
The rapper was arrested in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday on a warrant issued by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer.
