Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine made a deal to conclude his current jail stint, accepting a one-month sentence for violating the terms of his release after a felony conviction, according to prosecutors on Wednesday.
The agreement with federal prosecutors was outlined in a letter partially approved by a Manhattan federal judge.
It stipulates that the rapper will serve one month in jail, followed by a month of home incarceration, a month of home detention, and a month of curfew.
He will also be required to wear electronic monitoring.
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer stated that he would deliver the sentence to the performer, known as Daniel Hernandez, immediately after he admits to the violations at a Nov. 12 hearing.
Each side will need to explain why a one-month jail term followed by three months of home incarceration, detention, or curfew is sufficient for repeated probation violations, as per the terms of the deal.
The agreement also mandates that Tekashi 6ix9ine be under the court’s Probation Department supervision for an additional year.
Tekashi 6ix9ine, age 28, was close to the end of his court supervision when he was arrested on Oct. 29 after his probation officer reported violations related to travel permissions and failed drug tests.
In 2019, Engelmayer sentenced him to two years in prison in a racketeering case after he pleaded guilty to charges of participating in and orchestrating violence by the gang known as the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
In April 2020, Tekashi 6ix9ine was released early from prison after citing health concerns that made him vulnerable to the coronavirus, which was rampant in the nation’s correctional facilities.
Expressing disappointment at the artist’s failure to comply with regulations, Engelmayer mentioned during a recent hearing that he had granted compassionate release to him during the pandemic.
The rapper apologized and insisted to the judge that he is “not a bad person.”
