6ix9ine Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

Rapper 6ix9ine is being sued for "child sexual assault, child sexual abuse and infliction of emotional distress," TMZ reports. The new lawsuit stems from a 2015 video in which New York City prosecutors alleged that 6ix9ine can be seen groping a naked 13-year-old and sitting her on his lap.

6ix9ine was the victim of an assault in the sauna of an LA Fitness in South Florida on Tuesday (March 21), TMZ reports, and sustained injuries that required hospitalization. In video obtained by TMZ filmed by one of the assailants, 6ix9ine can be seen shielding himself from blows on the floor of the bathroom.

Since his release from prison this year after cooperating with federal authorities, 6ix9ine has become an even more polarizing figure in hip-hop, and has doubled down on his most trollish impulses in order to stay relevant. He's embraced his reputation as a snitch (his upcoming album is titled TattleTales) and devoted himself to remaining a spectacle in the age of algorithms.

6ix9ine and Nicki Minaj's controversial track titled Trollz dropped on the internet a week ago. Despite all the backlash received, the song has turned out to be 6ix9ine's biggest hit.

Nicki Minaj joined forces with 6ix9ine back in 2018 for FEFE which fetched her backlash from the fans but the 'Anaconda' hitmaker said that she has a mind of her own and has recently announced yet another collaboration with 6ix9ine. Nicki Minaj made the headlines in 2018 for teaming up with the Snitching rapper for FEFE and now she has collaborated with him once again for TROLLZ.

6ix9ine's first music video since being released from prison will be filmed by his security guards, according to a report from TMZ. The rapper, who was released from custody after arguing that he could be at serious risk of acute COVID-19 symptoms, has been teasing a May 8 release for his new video.

6ix9ine has been released from prison. Judge Paul Engelmayer ordered his release today, four months before the end of his two-year sentence. The rapper, born Daniel Hernandez, suffers from asthma, which, his lawyer argued, puts him at greater risk from serious health concerns related to the novel coronavirus. Hernandez will serve out the remainder of his sentence at home.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has been granted release from prison earlier than expected, as court documents viewed by Pitchfork confirm. The New York rapper, who was serving time after pleading guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy, multiple firearms offenses, and narcotics trafficking, will serve the four-month remainder of his term from home confinement under government surveillance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This past weekend, Tekashi 6ix9ine's lawyer Lance Lazzaro filed a request that the incarcerated rapper be released early in response to the rapid spread of COVID-19. 6ix9ine, born Daniel Hernandez, suffers from asthma which puts him at a higher risk for developing potentially fatal respiratory complications from the virus.

Tekashi 6ix9ine’s prison release date has been officially set for August 2, 2020, Complex reports. This past December, the New York rapper was handed a 24-month prison sentence that included 13 months of time served. Pitchfork has reached out to 6ix9ine’s attorneys for comment and more information.

6ix9ine, the chart-topping rapper turned federal informant, will serve the rest of his 24-month prison sentence behind bars, Complex reports.

When 6ix9ine's 24-month sentence is up, the rapper might be at greater risk than he is behind bars, as many of his former bodyguards have said they would never work for the rapper again, according to TMZ

A new report from Complex alleges that Tekashi 6ix9ine, the rapper and former member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods who testified against his fellow Nine Trey gang members while on trial over the past year, has filed a formal request to serve the remainder of his two-year prison sentence at home, due to concerns for his safety.

Following the end of his 24-month prison sentence, 6ix9ine will reportedly have to keep cooperating with the U.S. Attorney’s office, offering up information that might help in future and ongoing investigations, according to TMZ.

Spotify will continue to grow its podcast presence in the new year with the launch of Infamous: The Tekashi 6ix9ine Story, an eight-part series about the New York rapper. The series, co-produced by Complex, will launch on January 28 exclusive to Spotify.
