Tekashi 6ix9ine has admitted in federal court Wednesday to violating the terms of his supervised release by possessing MDMA and cocaine, both found during a March raid on his Miami home.
Appearing before Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan, the rapper pled guilty to two charges. Two other charges tied to drugs and a firearm found in a poolhouse occupied by his brother were dropped.
Prosecutors said there was no DNA evidence linking 6ix9ine to the gun or the contraband in that area.
“In my bedroom cabinet,” he confirmed to the judge when asked where the drugs were located. “To which you had access?” Engelmayer asked.
“Yes,” 6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, replied.
“The consequences, and they will be severe, if you violate a condition between now and sentencing,” Engelmayer warned of September 25, the day of his sentencing.
6ix9ine’s supervised release stems from his 2019 cooperation in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods racketeering case, which led to a reduced sentence and his eventual release in 2020.
