According to reports, 6ix9ine was sentenced to three months in prison for violating his probation in a 2018 RICO case.
On Friday (December 5), Tekashi appeared before Judge Paul A. Engelmayer of the Federal District Court in Manhattan, New York. Before the rapper was sentenced, Judge Englemayer consulted with the probation office, which had previously recommended that 6ix9ine serve an additional three months of house arrest. They revealed that 6ix9ine has undergone mental health treatment and received counseling regarding his behavior on social media.
“You kept throwing resources at him, but he was still a dumpster fire,” Judge Engelmeyer responded, according to the Inner City Press. “You repeatedly violated your conditions and the trust of the court. All you had to do was not violate. But you had cocaine and ecstasy in the house. You chased a man and beat him until you realized he had a gun.”
The judge then sentenced Tekash to three months in prison.
6ix9ine has violated the terms of his supervised release three times. The post-release stipulations stem from his 2019 plea deal in a racketeering case in which he was charged along with several members of the New York Nine Trey gang but later became a state witness.
In October 2024, Tekashi tested positive for methamphetamine and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. In March, his Florida home was raided by authorities, who found guns and drugs. In July he admitted possessing cocaine and ecstasy during the raid. Then, while awaiting sentencing for the violation, he attacked a man at a mall in Palm Beach County, Florida, an incident for which he also responded.
6ix9ine plans to turn himself in and begin serving his sentence on January 6, 2026.
XXL has reached out to 6ix9ine’s attorney for comment.
