Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, also known as Daniel Hernandez, was sentenced to 45 days in prison by a federal judge in Manhattan for repeated violations of his probation. The judge, Paul A. Engelmayer, expressed disappointment in Tekashi 6ix9ine's lack of respect for the judicial system rules despite receiving leniency in a previous criminal case for cooperating against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.
Judge Engelmayer highlighted five probation violations, including missing drug tests, unauthorized travel, and lying to his probation officer, as evidence that Tekashi 6ix9ine believed he was above the law. The judge emphasized that the rules apply to everyone, regardless of fame or wealth.
