6ix9ine May Go to Prison as a Registered Sex Offender
Last month, the rapper named 6ix9ine was robbed and left for dead. He survived … but he may find himself wondering if that was really for the best.
See, 6ix9ine has gotten into trouble, which violates his probation following a plea deal that he made a few years ago.
And because that plea deal was over an incident involving a 13-year-old, he may have to register as a sex offender.
It may not surprise you to learn that 6ix9ine, a rapper whose look can best be described as “Pennywise’s estranged son,” may end up going to prison as a sex offender.
Back in 2015, 6ix9ine, who is also known as Tekashi69 and whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, pleaded guilty to “the use of a child in a sexual performance.”
If you think that it sounds bad, you’re right! 6ix9ine is currently 22 years old, and was already an adult at the time of his plea.
He himself had posted the videos in which he was partying with a 13-year-old girl.
The plea was supposed to allow him to weasel out of the whole ordeal … but it looks like he blew it.
6ix9ine’s guilty plea was part of a deal that included a stipulation that he not get into trouble again.
Well, since then, the rapper has gotten into trouble again.
Specifically, he’s in trouble for driving on a suspended license, assault, and assaulting a police officer.
That first charge about the license may sound nitpicky to some.
Assault on anyone — including a police officer — does not.
The plea deal would have prevented 6ix9ine from having a criminal record once the period of probation had ended.
Instead, at a hearing on Thursday, the Manhattan District Attorney’s office asked the court to revoke the plea deal on the grounds that 6ix9ine had not kept his part of the bargain.
If the deal is revoked, 6ix9ine will be sentenced to 1 to 3 years in prison.
He will also have to register as a sex offender.
In general, known sex offenders, particularly those who are identified as having preyed upon young children, have especially dangerous experiences while in prison.
That said, 6ix9ine could still get out of this. After all, he got away with the incident with the 13-year-old in the first place.
He has a new hearing on October 2.
The DA will argue that he should have a criminal record after this, despite the deal.
This is because prosecutors say that because his brand promotes a culture of violence and crime, and therefore violates the spirit of the law.
Honestly? While it seems clear that he probably violated the plea deal, arguing that a rapper’s lyrics preclude them from having a criminal record expunged is not the strongest legal case we’ve ever read.
So, being a rapper doesn’t mean that someone can’t be an upstanding citizen.
At the same time, however, looking at various celebrities who have used their fame and resources to weasel out of charges involving sexual predation and minors, many say that 6ix9ine should have a record.
Any parent considering allowing their minor child to attend a 6ix9ine event should Google him, see his criminal history, and then say “no.”
A rapper can be an upstanding citizen.
But based upon his guilty plea from a few years ago, 6ix9ine just might be dangerous around minors.
Some of his fans are terrified that he will end up behind bars, but it’s hard to feel sympathy for the guy.

Tekashi 6ix9ine: No, I Didn"t Get My Ass Kicked to Impress Nicki Minaj!
Over the weekend, rapper Tekashi6ix9ine was beaten, robbed and essentially left for dead
On the surface, it looks to be a terrifying and near-tragic situation — but fans think there’s something extremely suspicious about the circumstances of the attack.
If you’ve never heard of Tekashi, or you’re extremely confused about how to pronounce his name, you’re not alone.
The 22-year-old up-and-comer is a big deal in the world of pink-haired rappers with unpronounceable stage names whose style seems to be inspired by a street gang from Blade Runner.
But he has yet to cross over into the realm of mainstream success.
And many believe that the emcee’s recent brush with death was nothing more than a publicity stunt to designed to help him make it to the big time.
You see, Tekashi was hospitalized on the same day that his new single with Nicki Minaj dropped.
Fans were already suspicious of the timing, and Tekashi didn’t help his situation by taking the opportunity to publicly flirt with Minaj.
“You still love me after I got beat up?” he wrote on Instagram.
“Fa sho. True love lasts forever,” Minaj wrote back.
Now, faking your own ass-whupping just to promote your new and maybe score some pity sex might seem like extreme behavior — and it is — but you have to remember how much Tekashi stands to gain.
Fame, fortune, sex with Nicki Minaj — suddenly, a few bruises don’t seem like such a high price to pay.
We kid, of course, and Tekashi would be a truly repugnant SOB if he really faked this whole thing.
In fact, at this early stage in his career, he’d likely neve live it down, which might be why the young rapper is now in full damage control mode:
“It leaves me speechless for words,” 6ix9ine told TMZ in a recent interview.
“I wouldn’t want to set up a publicity stunt and lose close to a million dollars—you know what I’m saying?” he added, referring to the amount that was allegedly stolen from him.
“I’m like the boy who cried wolf, you know what I’m saying? Like the person who trolls…like, when it’s actually real, people just don’t believe it anymore because it’s like, ‘Oh he’s trolling.”
Well, if he is trolling, he’s certainly taken into new heights.
Again, the situation sounds absurd — but we wouldn’t put anything past a man with the number 69 tattooed all over his body.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Pistol-Whipped, Robbed, Basically Left for Dead
Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, who sometimes goes by the simple moniker of 6ix9ine, was brutally beaten to near-death very early on Sunday morning.
Be warned: the photo down below of the star is not for the faint of heart.
According to TMZ, Tekashi completed filming a music video around 4 a.m. in Brooklyn and then drove home.
Upon arrival, however, three hooded gunmen emerged from a car that had been blocking his driveway and knocked the artist out with their guns.
The thieves tossed 6ix9ine in their car and waited until he regained consciousness.
At this point, they threatned to kill him if he did not hand over his jewelry and money.
Tekashi agreed and remained behind with one of the mugger while the other two proceeded to raid his home. (Sources say Tekashi’s baby mama and child were inside at the time, but were not harmed.)
All told, the gunmen stole approximately $ 750,000 in jewelry and around $ 20,000 in cash.
TMZ reports that the men continued to drive around with 6ix9ine in their car, only for him to finagle his way out and eventually plead for help from a stranger passing by.
This person called 911 and 6ix9ine was hospitalized for his very serious injuries.
The Associated Press has confirmed with the New York Police Department that 6ix9ine alleged he was forced from the car he was riding in around 4:30 a.m.
But he tells a different version of events from the story written out above.
6ix9ine says the men had him call someone to bring personal property to the scene, where they took an “undisclosed amount of jewelry” from the star and then left.
The AP goes on to say that 6ix9ine became “uncooperative” with authorities once he filed his report.
Moreover, there’s no mention in this police report of the rapper seeking medical attention or being treated for any injuries following the event.
Per a follow-up TMZ story, Tekashi claims he drove himself to the hospital and nothing about this was nearly as dramatic as the site initially claimed.
Could this version of events be accurate? Sure.
Could Tekashi also be covering up for what really transpired because he has a reputation of being tough and hard to protect? Absolutely.
We’ll let our readers decide which version they believe.
But there’s no sugar-coating that hospital photo above, dude. Yikes.
