6ix9ine is expected to plead guilty to violating his probation and faces up to a month behind bars.
The controversial rapper was arrested last week for allegedly breaking the terms of his probation by visiting Las Vegas without permission, avoiding drug tests and testing positive for meth.

In court documents obtained by HipHopDX, the District Attorney’s Office informed Judge Paul A. Engelmayer that 6ix9ine (real name Daniel Hernandez) will plead guilty to the multiple probation violations.
Prosecutors are seeking a jail term of 30 days for the rapper, a new one-year term of supervised release including 30 days of house arrest and the surrendering of his passport.

The government also wants to continue drug testing 6ix9ine and require him to obtain the permission of his probation officer before traveling domestically.
6ix9ine initially defended his trip to Vegas through his lawyer, who claimed that he went to the city for a performance and that he believed he had notified the proper authorities.

The “GUMMO” hitmaker is currently being held in the same Brooklyn jail as Diddy, who is awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The probation relates to 6ix9ine’s 2019 sentencing after he pleaded guilty to racketeering, firearms offenses and drug trafficking. He was also sentenced to two years in prison plus five years of supervised release.
He initially faced the prospect of 47 years behind bars but cooperation with authorities led to a vast reduction in his sentence and the prosecution of members of the Nine Trey Gangsters.
Since his release, 6ix9ine has been plagued by further legal trouble, most recently being accused of sexual abuse by ex-girlfriend Yailin La Más Viral.

In a lawsuit, she accused the rapper of physical, sexual, mental and financial abuse, as well as posting explicit photos and videos of her online.
She also claimed that 6ix9ine manipulated and forced her into plastic surgery, stole thousands of dollars from her, exerted power over her and kept her in a drugged-up state throughout their relationship.

6ix9ine has denied the allegations, saying in a statement: “All that jewelry is mine … that car she’s riding in I bought … the penthouse shoe [sic] got in the Dominican Republic I bought … I took care of her family, daughter — when I met her she had 2 month old baby — I put pampers and food on the table for them.”
