NEW YORK — 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\n\n\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\n\n\n

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

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

Friday’s sentence was related to small amounts of cocaine and ecstasy being found at the rapper’s 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\n\n\n
