6ix9ine returned to court on Thursday (September 25) after prosecutors claimed he beat a man for laughing at him assaulting a man with federal authorities in nine Trey Gangsta Bloods cases.
Federal prosecutors in the southern New York area said surveillance videos showed rapper briefly attacking a man at the West Palm Beach Mall.
The person reportedly called him a “thief” and mentioned his testimony in a 2019 blackmail trial that helped convict several gang members.
The incident that led to battery charging was reduced to a misdemeanor. However, this dispute has exacerbated an increasing list of oversight violations.
Prosecutors urged U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer to go to Hernandez immediately, but the judge refused.
Now, the sentencing is scheduled for November 4, involving three separate violations related to his supervised release. The court will decide whether Hernandez will serve an additional sentence.
The rapper’s legal issues stem from a 2019 plea deal, where he worked with federal prosecutors to avoid a long-term sentence. Initially, he faced a prison of up to 47 years, but obtained only two people after testifying against members of the 9th Trey.
In exchange, he agreed to five years of supervised release, 1,000 hours of community service and a $35,000 fine. The latest court appearance follows a range of legal issues.
In July, Hernandez pleaded guilty to drug possession charges after discovering cocaine and ecstasy at his Miami home. Prosecutors waived charges involving guns and fentanyl due to insufficient DNA evidence.
This plea of guilt alone violates the terms of his supervised release. Judge Engmaye warned Hernandez at the time that his attitude of “the rules do not apply to him” could lead him to prison again.
The rapper was jailed for 45 days last November for unauthorized travel and multiple drug tests, including methamphetamine.
Despite his own cooperation with law enforcement, 6ix9ine publicly criticized other artists for being the same artists.
He previously targeted young thugs in the Atlanta rapper controversy after he spoke to police in the interrogation room, a series of leaked prison calls put him under censorship and damaged his reputation.
