6ix9ine Violates Supervised Release
6ix9ine was arrested on Oct. 29 after turning himself in for violating the terms of his supervised release in connection to his plea deal in a 2019 gang racketeering case. He reportedly performed in Las Vegas without prior permission from his probation officer, failed two drug screenings by testing positive for methamphetamine and also skipped out on another required drug test.
XXL has reached out to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for comment.
In 2019, the “Gummo” rapper was originally sentenced to two years in prison and five years of probation in exchange for his testimony against members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang in a New York RICO case. He was released early due to the COVID-19 outbreak in April of 2020. In the last year, he has been arrested multiple times in the Dominican Republic and also been hit with multiple lawsuits.
