Tekashi 6ix9ine thrown in jail after showing up to New York court an hour late, reportedly testing positive for meth

Tekashi 6ix9ine was thrown behind bars Tuesday for at least two weeks for a slew of alleged offenses — including testing positive for methamphetamine, a trip to Las Vegas and showing up an hour late to court.

Manhattan federal judge Paul Engelmayer ripped the traditionally rainbow-haired rapper – whose real name is Daniel Hernandez – for having “a complete disregard for the law” and violating the terms of his supervised release.

Tekashi has been a free man since 2020, when he was released after a two-year prison sentence on charges including conspiracy to commit murder in connection with his ties to the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.

He was supposed to appear in court at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday but was instead an hour late, infuriating Engelmayer, who ordered his arrest.

“I’m not a bad person,” Tekashi, 28, told the court during a hearing this afternoon, noting that he flew to New York from Florida on Monday evening.

“I woke up late.”

Prosecutor Jonathan Rebold told Engelmayer that the tattooed “Gummo” rapper has tested positive for meth twice in the past two weeks — and failed a drug test — despite having about six months left on his five-year supervised term.

Tekashi had to stay out of trouble as part of that release.

Lance Lazzaro, an attorney for the alleged serial offender, claimed it was simply a mistake for his client to test positive for meth since he takes the prescription drug Adderall, which contains methamphetamine.

Prosecutors also accused Tekashi of taking an unapproved trip to Las Vegas for a concert.

Engelmayer also brought up his many arrests since his release — including an arrest in the Dominican Republic and an arrest in Florida for speeding at 65 mph — as part of what he calls a pattern of ignoring the law mentioned.

The judge said Tekashi showed a “broader pattern” of misconduct and ordered him thrown behind bars until the next hearing on November 12, when they would discuss whether the musician should be released.

Tekashi has a damning list of legal problems. The controversial traitor – who testified against the gang at the trial and was sentenced to just two years behind bars – was arrested in the Dominican Republic for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, Yailín la Más Viral, in January. He had also been arrested for allegedly assaulting two music producers in the Dominican Republic and had pleaded guilty in 2015 to using a 13-year-old in a sexual performance.
