On the morning of Wednesday, July 23, 2025, that controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine stood in front of a federal judge and copped to having MDMA and cocaine in his possession, an act that could cost him five years of his life.
They have been charged in connection with a raid on March 12, 2025, at his Miami home. Traces of both drugs were found during the search inside a bedroom cabinet by federal authorities. The raid was connected to a larger investigation that prosecutors say has found that 6ix9ine broke the terms of his supervised release on multiple occasions.

The 28-year-old rapper was sentenced to two years in prison in 2019 after copping to a laundry list of racketeering and gang charges as part of his alleged scheme with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. When he was released, he was put on intensive supervised release: no drugs, limited travel, no further gang promotion.
But rather than play it safe and lay low, 6ix9ine went rogue. According to court records, he racked up a series of violations: going on unauthorized trips to places like Las Vegas and Sarasota, flunking multiple drug tests, including one for meth, and missing mandatory appointments. He was even arrested in 2024 when he left the Dominican Republic without permission.
Now, the court is taking its responsibilities seriously. His case now heads to a jury that will weigh around 10 months of evidence against him, and if recent cases are any indication, a judge who has discretion to rule well above sentencing guidelines of three to nine months per violation, and up to the max, five years of incarceration, then a lifetime of strict supervision. That’s quite the climb from his previous stints, just 45 days and then six weeks.
He is set to be sentenced on September 25, 2025, and while 6ix9ine has made a career out of shock value and stirring up outrage, his next chapter could be little more than a quiet footnote.
For one, the legal system doesn’t appear to be quite as enthusiastic about cutting lawbreakers another break, or 10. So the question is: Will this be the wake-up call 6ix9ine needs, or just another headline in a still-long saga of self-sabotage? Either way, by September, the courtroom, not the stage, will be the thing that draws all the eyes.
