Tekashi 6ix9ine was thrown behind bars for at least two weeks Tuesday for a slew of alleged violations — including testing positive for methamphetamine, taking a trip to Las Vegas and showing up an hour late to court.
Manhattan federal Judge Paul Engelmayer ripped the traditionally rainbow-haired rapper — whose real name is Daniel Hernandez — for having a “full spectrum disregard for the law” and violating terms of his supervised release.
Tekashi has been a free man since 2020, when he was released following a two-year prison stint on charges including conspiracy to commit murder related to his ties to Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.
He was due in court at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday — but instead was an hour late, infuriating Engelmayer, who ordered his arrest.
“I’m not a bad person,” Tekashi, 28, said in court during an afternoon hearing, noting that he’d flown into New York Monday night from Florida.
“I woke up late.”
Prosecutor Jonathan Rebold told Engelmayer that the inked-up “Gummo” rapper has tested positive for meth twice in the last two weeks — and blew off a drug test — despite having about six months left on his five-year term of supervised release.
Tekashi was supposed to stay out of trouble as part of that release.
Lance Lazzaro, a lawyer for the alleged serial offender, claimed it was simply a mix-up that his client tested positive for meth, since he takes the prescription drug Adderall that contains methamphetamine.
Prosecutors also accused Tekashi of taking an unsanctioned trip to Las Vegas for a concert.
Engelmayer also brought up his many arrests since his release — including a bust in the Dominican Republic and an arrest in Florida for speeding 136 mph in a 65 mph — as part of what he called a pattern of flouting the law.
The judge said that Tekashi showed a “broader pattern” of misbehavior and ordered him thrown behind bars until the next court hearing on Nov. 12 where they would discuss whether the musician should be let free.
Tekashi has a withering list of legal woes. The embattled snitch was arrested in the Dominican Republic for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, Yailín la Más Viral, in January. He’d also been busted for allegedly assaulting two music producers in the Dominican Republic and had pleaded guilty in 2015 of using a 13-year-old in a sexual performance.
Tekashi’s testimony in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods trial helped put away his former fellow gangbangers — including a gang leader who got a 17-year sentence on drug dealing and racketeering charges.
The hip-hop provocateur hatched a plea deal with the feds that got him leniency — just two years in prison — in exchange for ratting out the gang members.
