Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernández, was arrested on domestic violence charges in the Dominican Republic Wednesday.
Controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has once again been arrested — this time on domestic violence charges in the Dominican Republic.
The 27-year-old, whose real name is Daniel Hernández, is being held at a jail in the capital of Santo Domingo as he awaits his Thursday court hearing, when a judge will decide whether he should remain behind bars or be freed on bond.
No further details about Hernández’s Wednesday arrest were immediately available, and it is unclear whether he has an attorney who can speak on his behalf.
The domestic violence arrest is just the latest in a string of criminal complaints against the “Fefe” singer.
In October, Hernández was arrested for assaulting two music producers at a seaside hotel in the Dominican Republic, where he and his girlfriend, a rapper known as Yailín la Más Viral, were recording a song.
Hernández was also previously accused in the US of using a violent gang as his “personal hit squad,” but avoided jail time after providing testimony about the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang, which operates on the East Coast.
