6ix9ine has been arrested in the Dominican Republic for allegedly assaulting his longtime girlfriend Yailín la Más Viral, with whom he also had a physical altercation last month.
TMZ has confirmed that the “GUMMO” rapper (real name Daniel Hernandez) was taken into custody on Wednesday (January 17) for allegedly inflicting “physical and psychological violence” on Yailín.

Currently, he is being held in a jail cell in Santo Domingo, where the judge presiding over the case has yet to render a decision on bail.
The news has been all over Spanish-language media, and you can check out one of the posts below.
This is just the latest bit of legal drama that 6ix9ine has had to face regarding his tumultuous relationship with Yailín la Más Viral. Last month, she was charged with felony assault following the release of footage of the couple in a physical altercation.
According to arrest records obtained by HipHopDX, the Dominican rapper (real name Jeorjina Guillermo Diaz) was arrested in Palm Beach County, FL, in the early hours of Friday (December 15).

She was charged with felony battery, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, obstruction of justice, and criminal damage to property worth $1000 or more. A surety bond of $9,000 was posted for her by record producer Santiago “Alofoke” Matias, courtesy of 561 Bail Bonds.
Footage from the “GUMMO” rapper’s Instagram seemed to capture the argument in real-time. The story, which was posted shortly before Yailin was arrested, began with 6ix9ine writing — in Spanish — that “Yailin needs help,” and that he was remaining quiet about the whole situation until he could no longer do so for her protection.
Later in the video, the pair can be seen arguing extensively, and at one point, Yailin uses a 2 x 6 to smash 6ix9ine’s phone out of his hand. The pair can also be seen tussling with one another before Yailin is carted off to jail.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, footage surfaced of a golden statue in Cuba featuring the polarizing rapper’s mug grinning ear-to-ear with rainbow grills and matching kaleidoscopic braids.

The “unique” sculpture appears to be on a street corner in the favelas of Cuba and also includes 6ix9ine’s array of tattoos, golden 69 chains, and a microphone to perform in one hand while he fittingly flexes a stack of cash in the other.
“Believe it or not, that statue represents us Hispanics’ weather your young or old. We came long ways to get where we’re at hispanos…(No specific ethnicity),” a fan commented in approval.
