Tekashi Pleads Guilty To A Nine-Count Criminal Charge

Tekashi 6ix9ine has pleaded guilty to a nine-count “criminal information” — a formal criminal charge — in his highly-publicized federal case.

According to court documents, the Dummy Boy rapper, born Daniel Hernandez, entered the plea on January 23, but the details were not disclosed until February 1. The nine charges include racketeering conspiracy, drug trafficking, multiple firearms offenses and more.

A source familiar with the case told ABC Radio that 6ix9ine is currently cooperating with federal prosecutors.

As previously reported, the “Gummo” rapper and three associates were arrested in November 2018 on federal weapons and racketeering charges. Authorities alleged that he “participated in the operation and management of” the New York City gang Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

According to Pitchfork, 6ix9ine will be sentenced by January 2020.
