Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison in Drugs & Weapons Case - Tekashi 6ix9ine

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has been sentenced to serve two years in prison.

Tekashi 6ix9ine aka Daniel Hernandez was present in the court when the sentence was passed and apart from 2 years, it also contains 5 years of supervised release.

The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York confirms to E! News that Tekashi got a 24 month sentence and will get credit for time served, which has been 13 months already. He will be on supervised release for five years, and pay a $35,000 fine. He will also have to do 300 hours of community service.

This legal news comes over a year after Tekashi was arrested on racketeering and firearms charges. The artist was later indicted on six counts: 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, and committing a crime in aid of racketeering.

Earlier this year, Tekashi pleaded guilty to nine counts in his federal drugs and weapons criminal case.

Hours before Tekashi's sentencing, two victims of an robbery, which was allegedly conducted by the gang Tekashi belonged to, detailed the impact the incident has had on their lives.
