Police Raided 6ix9ine's Home In March And Have Now Revealed What Was Found
New details of a recent police raid at Tekashi 6ix9ine's Florida residence has come to light during his arraignment on Monday (April 21), according to Complex. The controversial rapper was hit with charges stemming from a March 12 home raid, to which he pleaded not guilty to four counts of violating his supervised release — charges directly tied to drugs and a firearm allegedly found during the raid. According to prosecutor Jonathan Rebold, police received a tip from a confidential source claiming that 6ix9ine was in possession of MDMA pills and a revolver. When the cops arrived, they allegedly found three orange MDMA pills and a small bag of cocaine residue in the rapper's bedroom. But that's not all. As the search continued, Rebold revealed that additional drugs — fentanyl and marijuana — were found in a poolhouse on the property, where 6ix9ine's brother was reportedly sleeping. A Glock 9mm was also discovered in the same location. While the brother does hold a concealed carry permit, it's still unclear whether he was legally allowed to possess the firearm found in the pool house. Reportedly, DNA tests are being conducted on the weapon to verify its connection to the rapper or anyone else involved. Adding another layer to the already shocking discoveries, the raid report also revealed that someone made an unsubstantiated claim that the MDMA had been mixed into alcoholic drinks and served to females at the home. Prosecutors clarified that there is no evidence to back up this claim, and no victims have come forward at this time. For now, the claim remains just a speculation. This latest development isn't 6ix9ine's first brush with trouble while on supervised release. In November 2024, Judge Paul Engelmayer sentenced him to 45 days in jail and another year of supervised release after he failed drug tests and violated travel restrictions. This setback came just months before he was expected to complete his original sentence, which stemmed from his release from prison in April 2020. To make matters worse, Judge Engelmayer noted that the rapper still has over 100 hours of community service to complete. 6ix9ine's lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, countered that his client has already clocked 40 hours in the past month and plans to wrap up the remaining service within the next three to four months. For now, the court has issued a stern warning: no guns or ammunition are allowed on the property unless explicitly authorized by a court order, affecting not just 6ix9ine but his family as well. A hearing is set for May 22, where prosecutors will aim to present evidence concerning the alleged violations, and DNA results from the discovered Glock.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Claims Feds Cuffed Him For Hours And Raided His Home, Seizing Drugs And Guns
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.
