6ix9ine's House Arrest
Last November, 6ix9ine struck a deal with federal prosecutors, agreeing to serve one month behind bars, followed by three months of home detention with an enforced curfew and electronic monitoring. His arrest on October 29 stemmed from multiple probation violations, including failed drug tests and unauthorized travel. His legal troubles date back to 2019 when he pleaded guilty to racketeering charges tied to the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. Initially sentenced to two years in prison, he secured an early release in April 2020 after citing heightened vulnerability to COVID-19 as the virus spread through correctional facilities.
Upon ordering house arrest, the judge voiced frustration over the rapper’s repeated disregard for court orders, especially given the leniency he was granted during the pandemic. In response, 6ix9ine apologized, insisting, "I’m not a bad person."
