6ix9ine faces prison over parole violations in new court push
Key Points
- Prosecutors want 6ix9ine jailed for fresh supervised release breaches. They ask the judge for three to nine months inside.
- Court papers say he used hard drugs while still on release. He also admitted an attack on a man at a mall.
- Probation office suggests shorter rules, but prosecutors reject that plan. Sentencing takes place next week, with jail now very possible.
Rapper 6ix9ine (Daniel Hernandez) may be heading back to prison after US prosecutors asked a New York judge to punish fresh breaches of his supervised release. They say he broke key rules of his court deal several times in just over a year.

A new memo from the US Attorney’s Office was filed on Thursday. It asks Judge Paul Engelmayer to impose between three and nine months. The filing sits in the same court that earlier handled Diddy starts four year prison term.
Under the plan, Hernandez would also face a fresh two year supervision term. The Probation Office instead suggests only another three month stretch under watch. Prosecutors argue that softer rules have not stopped new crimes and breaches.
Hernandez has been on supervised release since leaving prison in April 2020. Over the past thirteen months, he broke those rules on three occasions. Court records list a positive meth test, drug possession and a mall assault.
Why prosecutors say jail is needed
In July, Hernandez admitted in court that he held cocaine and MDMA. He later accepted another breach for punching a man inside a Florida mall. Earlier tests had also shown meth use while he was meant to stay clean.
Prosecutors say these fresh acts show he ignores clear court warnings and chances. They write that the nature of the crimes now calls for jail. The memo says a short term will send a strong, public message.
The memo says the crime details “warrant a term of imprisonment” for him. It adds that a fresh supervised release term should follow any jail stay. They stress that Hernandez “violated the trust” the judge once placed in him.
The Probation Office notes that Hernandez finished other court tasks, like community work. It suggests tighter reporting rules and drug treatment will be enough this time. They cite Megan Thee Stallion court fight as proof courts now act firmly.
They remind the judge Hernandez once helped the government by speaking against gang members. Since release, they say, he has squandered that chance through new crimes. A firm response now, they argue, will show supervised release is not a soft option.
If Judge Engelmayer agrees, Hernandez could serve his time in a federal facility. After that, he would again face strict court watch for around two years.
If the judge sides with Probation instead, Hernandez may avoid fresh jail time. His full fate will be clear when he returns for sentencing on 20 November.
