Tekashi 6ix9ine Claims Feds Cuffed Him For Hours In His Home During A Raid

Tekashi 6ix9ine’s home was raided in the early hours of Wednesday as cops conducted a “probation” check on him.

The controversial rapper said some firearms and drugs were confiscated, although he maintained that he didn’t do anything wrong.

He was also arrested late last year for violating the terms of his release on a 2019 felony conviction.

However, Tekashi 6ix9ine made a deal with federal prosecutors that saw him serve one month in jail, followed by three months of home detention with a curfew and electric monitoring.

Law enforcement officials raided Tekashi’s Florida mansion in the early hours of Wednesday.

According to TMZ, the “GOOBA” rapper claims that firearms and drugs were seized during the raid but maintained that he didn’t do anything wrong.

Tekashi said that federal police and local cops came to his house on Wednesday morning and kept him in handcuffs from 9 am to 3 pm while they searched the place.

The rapper also claimed that DNA samples were taken and that the cops seemingly wrecked his home while searching for something.

He explained that they had confiscated some guns and drugs during the raid and wanted to see if his DNA was on the items.

However, Tekashi, born Daniel Hernandez, insisted that he’s not been engaging in any criminal activity and is just relaxing at home while on house arrest.

Meanwhile, the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office has provided an explanation as to why the “Tattletales” rapper’s home was ransacked.

According to the news outlet, the office explained that the federal U.S. Probation officers, assisted by Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Investigators, executed a search warrant Wednesday on the rapper’s home in Florida.

The sheriffs labeled it a “probation” check as they confirmed that several items were confiscated and taken away for further analysis because they could not immediately be connected to the repper.

The sheriff’s office did not, however, confirm Tekashi’s claim that guns and drugs were recovered during the raid.

Also, the news outlet notes that the rapper was not arrested because there was no probable cause, and he was handcuffed during the raid for officer safety.

In 2019, the rapper pleaded guilty to charges accusing him of joining and directing violence by the gang known as Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods and was sentenced to two years in prison.

He was later freed in April the following year as he complained that he was particularly prone to COVID-19, which was spreading through jails and prisons at the time.

In October of last year, Tekashi was arrested in New York for violating the terms of his release on the 2019 felony conviction, per CBS News.

At the time, his probation officer complained that he had failed drug tests and was not following the rules about getting permission to travel.

The Brooklyn rapper made a deal with federal prosecutors that required him to serve one month in jail, followed by three months of home detention with a curfew and electric monitoring.

He has had several brushoffs with the law, including a child sexual performance charge that he was hit with in 2015 after footage surfaced of him filming a friend in a sex act with an underage girl.

Tekashi has also been accused of choking a teenage girl at a mall, being investigated over the shooting of Chief Keef, and being arrested in the Dominican Republic for multiple alleged incidents.

Amid his run-ins with the law, the rapper sued the popular gym L.A. Fitness for $1 million, alleging that he suffered a vicious attack that led him straight to the hospital back in 2023.

Court documents showed that he’s asking for more than $1 million in damages, claiming the gym failed to provide adequate security to prevent the brutal attack by three men at one of their outlets in South Florida.

He alleged that the gym staff was not “properly educated or informed regarding security protocols at LA Fitness,” adding that they failed to request police presence once they saw the attack, per TMZ.

He claims that due to LA Fitness’ negligence, he was brutally beaten, assaulted, and robbed, leading to bodily injury, pain and suffering, disability, humiliation, medical expenses, loss of income, and diminished quality of life.

He suffered injuries to his jaw, ribs, and back, and three individuals were subsequently arrested in connection with the assault.
