Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested after being accused of violating the conditions of his release

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of violating his supervised release conditions, federal authorities said.

Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was arrested on a warrant from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, according to court records.

He was arraigned Tuesday afternoon and pleaded not guilty, according to court records.

His attorney, Lance Lazzaro, said in a statement that the rapper was charged with three technical violations related to his supervised release.

“We are confident that any specification will be rejected,” Lazzaro said.

In 2019, Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to a reduced federal prison sentence of two years after pleading guilty to racketeering, firearms offenses and drug trafficking. He was also sentenced to five years of supervised release.

He faced up to 47 years in prison, but prosecutors recommended a lesser sentence after he cooperated with them and helped arrest two leaders of a violent New York gang.
