Tekashi 6ix9ine opened up about his ongoing legal troubles following a probation violation that could land him up to five years behind bars.
The court hearing took place on September 25th, where Tekashi was arraigned on new charges linked to a mall incident. Despite prosecutors pushing for detention, the judge opted to place him on an ankle monitor, granting him a temporary reprieve before sentencing. Tekashi revealed his sentence guidelines range from 3 to 9 months, but the judge reserved the right to impose a sentence of up to five years. He admits to preparing for the worst, emphasizing the uncertainty of his legal situation. The interview also highlighted the challenges of federal court proceedings, including restrictions on courtroom recordings that once led to a judge’s stern warning during the session.
Tekashi 6ix9ine revealed his sentencing date has been postponed from November 4 to November 20. Currently back on house arrest with an ankle monitor, Tekashi shared the mental toll of facing prison but stressed the importance of letting go of uncontrollable stresses. Most notably, Tekashi accused Young Thug of conducting interviews as a strategic move to distance himself from the “rat community.” He claims Young Thug is trying to repair his public image by engaging in extensive media appearances. Tekashi explained that his own media strategy has been to lay out the facts clearly to dispel confusion and rumors surrounding his case and cooperation. Looking ahead, Tekashi expressed his desire to leave the past behind and focus on rebuilding his life and career, confident that the truth is now fully dissected and understood by the public.
