Tekashi 6ix9ine will need to complete court-ordered drug and mental health treatment after he finishes his three-month prison sentence.
Last Friday (Dec. 5), Judge Paul Engelmayer, who also oversaw his 2019 racketeering case, imposed a full year of supervised release that will require the 29-year-old rapper (born Daniel Hernandez) to participate in a mental health program centered on anger management as well as an outpatient drug treatment program.
Court documents filed on Dec. 8 and reviewed by Complex outline these conditions, which will begin once he completes his prison term starting January 6, 2026.
Before the sentencing, he told TMZ that he was not concerned about serving time, saying he intended to use the period in custody to get in shape.
He also said he expected to be separated from the general population because of his "snitch" status and planned to take advantage of the isolation, adding that he hoped to drop from 190 pounds to 120 by eating only one box of Oreo cookies a day.
His new requirements come after violations of his existing supervision, including possession of cocaine and MDMA and an assault inside a Florida mall.
The recent federal raid of his property, where agents recovered the drugs tied to the case, helped lead to his return to custody after years on probation stemming from his testimony in the Nine Trey racketeering prosecution.
