Tekashi 6ix9ine aka Daniel Hernandez could be looking at 32 to years to life in prison.
The rapper appeared in federal court on Sunday night after being picked up in New York following a reported armed robbery in April 2018.
He's facing six charges which were laid out in an initial hearing yesterday:
- Conspiracy with others to commit racketeering
- Discharging a firearm while committing a crime
- Committing a crime of violence in aid of racketeering
- Assault with a dangerous weapon
- Carrying a firearm
- Committing a crime in aid of racketeering
The charges reportedly come as the result of a five-year investigation into the Nine Trey Bloods gang, of which Hernandez is a alleged member.
Hernandez's request for bail in return for handing over his passport, remaining under house arrest and paying the $1 million bail fee was rejected.
Assistant US Attorney Michael Longyear said, “[Hernandez] is a member of a violent sect of the Bloods. This defendant participated in multiple acts of violence.”
He remains in federal custody alongside four other men.
