Tekashi 6ix9ine Is Detained by Authorities for Domestic Abuse


In the Dominican Republic, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested on domestic violence accusations.

The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernández, was apprehended by Santo Domingo police on Wednesday, January 17. He was expected to appear in court the next day, according to the Associated Press.

The particulars of the alleged domestic violence dispute have not been made public.

This is not the rapper’s first encounter with law enforcement; in 2019, the Tattle Tales artist was convicted of racketeering and other offences.

He was also arrested in Florida last August after failing to appear at a hearing for multiple traffic citations totaling more than $1,000.

Most recently, Tekashi was jailed for reportedly punching a song producer while working with his rapper girlfriend Yailin La Más Viral.

Yailin and Tekashi have experienced their fair share of relationship issues.

The female rapper was arrested on counts of aggravated violence, witness tampering, and felony criminal mischief after reportedly attacking Tekashi and his Bentley with a 2×4 just two months ago.

According to TMZ, the rapper also accused Yailin of damaging his car, which she denied, claiming she did it to “cause financial hardship” for Hernandez after he took part of his money and passport.
