This isn’t the first time Hernandez has faced legal trouble in the Dominican Republic. He was previously arrested in October for allegedly assaulting a local music producer after a recording session. In the U.S., he faced accusations of utilizing a violent gang as a “personal hit squad.” To mitigate a lengthy prison sentence, he cooperated as a witness against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods on the U.S. East Coast.
In March 2023, Tekashi 6ix9ine was assaulted at a gym in Florida. Despite his legal woes, the rapper achieved commercial success with the multiplatinum hit song “Fefe” alongside Nicki Minaj in 2018, which reached No. 3 on the pop charts. The ongoing legal saga adds another chapter to the controversial rapper’s tumultuous history.
