Tekashi 6ix9ine arrested & put in same jail as Diddy

Tekashi 6ix9ine is back in jail. But not just any jail, Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center where Diddy is being held.

The controversial rapper, who's real name is Daniel Hernandez, was arrested today, October 29, for violating terms of his supervised release. Per Inner City Press, he was accused of not taking scheduled drug tests, having Methamphetamine in his system, and flying to Las Vegas without approval.

Lance Lazzaro, who's the rapper's lawyer, said he believed Tekashi got the proper permission to fly to Las Vegas and went there to perform. His next hearing is on November 12, and he'll be in MDC until then, according to HipHopDX.

Tekashi was arrested in 2018 and charged with conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering, and other crimes. He later testified against his gang, the Nine Trey Gangster Bloods, and was released from jail in 2020 with certain conditions. But the "GUMMO" creator failed to stay out of trouble since then.

In 2023 he was arrested in the Dominican Republic after allegedly assaulting two producers there. Then earlier this year, he was arrested for domestic violence and was accused of assaulting his former girlfriend, singer Yailín la Más Viral.

For a while there, it looked like Tekashi's legal woes were behind him, though, because just a couple of weeks ago he talked about signing a deal with Kartel Music that could earn him $6 million. The 28-year-old spoke to TMZ about it and said he'd be making "Mexico regional music."

"It’s not a record deal. It’s an exclusive tour deal that I’m doing in Central America, South America, United States, and Mexico, like, the exclusivity deal," Tekashi explained. "You know I dominated the English market, you know, the hip-hop English music for a long time, and I did it to the highest level, so I think one of the gifts that God gave me was that I'm able to dominate in both demographics."

But Tekashi will have to put that domination on hold. At least until his next court hearing on November 12.
