[118], On December 18, 2019, Hernandez's father showed up to his court hearing after not seeing him since he was 9 years old. I fear God, and I fear the FBI. Prior to ever being arrested, 6ix9ine already isolated himself from an abundance of artists like YG, The Game, Chief Keef who he admittedly ordered a hit on, Trippie Redd, and the list goes on. In 2018, he was arrested on racketeering, weapons, and drugs charges. After Hernandez finally noticed his father was in the courtroom, he broke down in tears. [56] The song debuted at the top of the Hot 100, marking 6ix9ine's first number-one single. Sort by. Three videos are described in the criminal complaint against Hernandez. [105] She continued to detail that Hernandez proceeded “beating me for two hours straight,” she claims “He punched me so hard in my right ear I thought I was deaf.” Molina describes that Hernandez punched, kicked and choked her, leaving her with two black eyes and multiple bruises. "[126] On November 11, 2017, following a series of barbs the two traded on social media, Redd was attacked in the lobby of a New York hotel and blamed Hernandez and his crew in an Instagram live video. Rapper Lil Tjay made similar claims. [25] Hernandez's commercial debut single "Gummo" was released on November 10, 2017, and eventually peaked at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100. [44], In early October 2018, Hernandez was featured on the song "Aulos Reloaded" with French house DJ Vladimir Cauchemar and "Kick" with Danish singer Jimilian. [11] Hernandez has an older brother, Oscar Osiris Hernandez (born August 25, 1994). He now has a more mainstream story to tell and a lot more eyes watching his next move. [164] The commercial video was released on Valentine's Day and went viral on TMZ and other celebrity news sites. [53] On May 7, 2020, Hernandez announced he would be releasing a new single on May 8, 2020, marking his return to music, and on his 24th birthday. [34][83] In October 2015, Hernandez pled guilty to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance. [81] His lawyer denies the overdose claim. "I was leaking blood," she said. Regardless of feelings, one may have about cooperation with federal authorities, or his antics prior to the arrest, violence is not something anyone should encourage or condone. [93], In the early morning hours of July 22, 2018, Hernandez was kidnapped, beaten, and robbed by three armed assailants in Brooklyn. And then I was like damn, God is real. It’s not his authenticity to the streets or being a real gang member because he has none and he isn’t. @torylanez @scottstorchofficial, A post shared by 6ix9ine (@6ix9ine) on Nov 7, 2018 at 11:11am PST. "Fefe", featuring Nicki Minaj and Murda Beatz, a single from his debut album Dummy Boy (2018), peaked at number three on the Hot 100. [110][111][112] Hernandez's attorney, Lance Lazzaro, advocated for bail for his client on the condition that Hernandez surrender his passport, pay a little under $2 million for bail, and be placed under house arrest, but the judge denied bail, keeping Hernandez in custody that he may still be a danger to the community even if those bail conditions were met. Hernandez is charged with federal RICO and firearms charges, including conspiracy to murder and armed robbery, and faces up to life in prison. [146] In an Instagram post, 6ix9ine alleged that Grande and Bieber were using "six credit cards" to purchase 30,000 copies of their song at the last minute. [41] "Fefe" was later certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. "Screaming "gang gang," now you wanna rap/Racketeering charges caught him on a tap," Ross raps. [24], "Poles1469", released in April 2017, featured Hernandez alongside Trippie Redd on YouTube. Waka, Tic toc, Mama, gold. [34] After the release of Day69, two songs from the album, "Billy" and "Rondo" both debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, with "Billy" peaking at number 50 and "Rondo" at number 73. For 6ix9ine, all his fans saw was him get locked up and beat his case by any means necessary; a minor setback. [150], Billboard also commented on how they conducted that week's charts, debunking all of 6ix9ine's claims, as well as commenting that the forecast rankings that 6ix9ine had prior to the reveal was false, stating that they do not distribute any of their rankings to labels, management, or artists.[151]. Many of his early songs were released by FCK THEM, a music label based in Slovakia. Hip-Hop fans love authenticity, and that’s exactly why 6ix9ine will get out of jail and go platinum. On February 10, 2019, a video surfaced of Hernandez in an anti-violence against women commercial for Romantic Depot, a New York-based sex shop and lingerie store chain. [142][143] On May 8, 2018, Trippie Redd previewed the song "I Kill People" on Instagram, featuring Chief Keef and Tadoe, which was aimed as a diss toward Hernandez and Cuban Doll. [123] His home confinement ended on August 1, 2020. The same people that made Dummy Boy a platinum album are the same people that will make his next album on 10k Projects platinum. I CANT STOP MAKING HITS ??? You can't just be out here calling people gay, bro. It’s his authenticity and dedication to trolling. [57] "Trollz" fell to number 34 in its second week, breaking the record for largest position drop from number one in the charts history. [85][86] The court date was later postponed, reportedly because the court did not have a copy of Hernandez's GED. [95] On October 3, Ellison was found guilty. [90][91] On October 27, 2018, two members of Hernandez's entourage were involved in a shooting in Manhattan and were subsequently charged with gang assault. [155][156], In the midst of his feud with Chief Keef on June 12, 2018, Hernandez visited Chicago's South Side and gave food and cash handouts to local residents. 6ix9ine, who was born Daniel Hernandez, was arrested by ATF and Homeland Security agents on Nov. 18 for racketeering and firearms charges along with his former manager and crew. [121] On April 1, 2020 Rolling Stone obtained a letter to the judge from United States Attorney Geoffrey Berman saying that the government does not object to the release of Hernandez early on home confinement. Rappers have publicly shamed the multi-platinum artist. [5], 6ix9ine became widely known in late 2017 after the release of his debut single, "Gummo", which was a sleeper hit.
