Tekashi 6ix9ine will be required to complete court-ordered drug and mental health treatment following the completion of his three-month prison sentence.
Last Friday (Dec. 5), Judge Paul Engelmayer — who also presided over the rapper’s 2019 racketeering case — handed down a full year of supervised release.
The 29-year-old rapper, born Daniel Hernandez, must now participate in an anger management-focused mental health program as well as an outpatient drug treatment course, according to court documents filed on Dec. 8. These conditions will take effect once he begins his prison term on January 6, 2026.
Ahead of sentencing, 6ix9ine told TMZ that he wasn’t worried about serving time, noting that he intended to use his stint behind bars to get in shape. He added that, given his high-profile “snitch” status, he expected to be isolated from the general population and joked that he planned to drop from 190 pounds to 120 by surviving on just a single box of Oreo cookies a day.
The new court requirements follow multiple violations of his previous supervision, including possession of cocaine and MDMA and an assault at a Florida mall. A recent federal raid at his property, where agents seized drugs linked to the case, was instrumental in sending the controversial rapper back to custody after years on probation stemming from his testimony in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods racketeering prosecution.
