New details of a recent police raid at Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Florida residence has come to light during his arraignment on Monday (April 21), according to Complex. The controversial rapper was hit with charges stemming from a March 12 home raid, to which he pleaded not guilty to four counts of violating his supervised release — charges directly tied to drugs and a firearm allegedly found during the raid.
According to prosecutor Jonathan Rebold, police received a tip from a confidential source claiming that 6ix9ine was in possession of MDMA pills and a revolver. When the cops arrived, they allegedly found three orange MDMA pills and a small bag of cocaine residue in the rapper’s bedroom. But that’s not all. As the search continued, Rebold revealed that additional drugs — fentanyl and marijuana — were found in a poolhouse on the property, where 6ix9ine’s brother was reportedly sleeping. A Glock 9mm was also discovered in the same location.
While the brother does hold a concealed carry permit, it’s still unclear whether he was legally allowed to possess the firearm found in the pool house. Reportedly, DNA tests are being conducted on the weapon to verify its connection to the rapper or anyone else involved.
Adding another layer to the already shocking discoveries, the raid report also revealed that someone made an unsubstantiated claim that the MDMA had been mixed into alcoholic drinks and served to females at the home. Prosecutors clarified that there is no evidence to back up this claim, and no victims have come forward at this time. For now, the claim remains just a speculation.
This latest development isn’t 6ix9ine’s first brush with trouble while on supervised release. In November 2024, Judge Paul Engelmayer sentenced him to 45 days in jail and another year of supervised release after he failed drug tests and violated travel restrictions. This setback came just months before he was expected to complete his original sentence, which stemmed from his release from prison in April 2020. To make matters worse, Judge Engelmayer noted that the rapper still has over 100 hours of community service to complete.
6ix9ine’s lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, countered that his client has already clocked 40 hours in the past month and plans to wrap up the remaining service within the next three to four months. For now, the court has issued a stern warning: no guns or ammunition are allowed on the property unless explicitly authorized by a court order, affecting not just 6ix9ine but his family as well.
A hearing is set for May 22, where prosecutors will aim to present evidence concerning the alleged violations, and DNA results from the discovered Glock.
