Rapper Chief Keef was allegedly shot at by Hernandez's associates after engaging in an online feud with the rapper in June 2018. After an online leak, Dummy Boy was released on November 27, 2018, and managed to reach number 2 on the Billboard 200 within only three days of charting. Hernandez's arrest caused his highly anticipated debut album Dummy Boy to be delayed indefinitely a day before its scheduled release. On November 22, 2018, a seventh man, Roland "Ro Murda" Martin, was arrested and charged with crimes related to the case. Prison staff intervened and quickly transferred Hernandez to a different facility to eliminate any future gang threats. The next night while being detained at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, Hernandez was confronted by inmates affiliated with the rival Crips gang. On the night of November 18, 2018, six men were arrested by ATF agents in New York City: Hernandez, Jordan, Jamel "Mel Murda" Jones, Fuguan "Fu Banga" Lovick, Jesnel "Ish" Butler, and Faheem "Crippy" Walter. He also cancelled his upcoming tour and said, "Whoever is booking shows for Tekashi 6ix9ine, is stealing your fucking money." Arrest and guilty plea November 2018–January 2019: 'Not guilty' plea On November 15, 2018, three days prior to the arrests and a week prior to the scheduled release of his debut album Dummy Boy, Hernandez unexpectedly announced on Instagram that he had fired his entire team, including his management. Hernandez's manager Jordan later turned himself in on November 7, 2018, in relation to the fight and was also charged with gang assault. Two members of Hernandez's entourage were charged with gang assault. His entourage was not allowed in by security, and this led to a fight that ended with one person being shot. To celebrate receiving probation instead of a jail sentence, Hernandez went to go have dinner with a music executive in New York City. In October 2018, Hernandez was sentenced to two years' probation and 1,000 hours of community service after pleading guilty to federal racketeering and firearms charges. Background Ħix9ine (pictured) was arrested in the week leading up to the scheduled release of his debut album Dummy Boy. However, on April 1, 2020, federal judge Paul Engelmayer ordered Hernandez to serve the remainder of his sentence in home confinement starting the next day due to him suffering from asthma which makes him particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. Hernandez was originally set to be released on November 18, 2020, although his attorney Lance Lazzaro claimed "6ix9ine will be released ahead of schedule." His new release date was set for August 2, 2020, although reports surfaced saying he may be released as early as July 31, 2020. Hernandez ended up avoiding a potential minimum sentence of 47 years. On December 18, 2019, Hernandez was sentenced to two years in prison, a $35,000 fine, five years of supervised release, and 1,000 hours of community service. The guilty plea resulted in Hernandez admitting his guilt and testifying against his co-defendants, as well as full co-operation and an insistence to commit no further crimes, in exchange for reduced prison time. He later changed his plea to guilty after agreeing to a deal with law enforcement on February 1, 2019. Upon his arrest, Hernandez was initially denied bail and pleaded not guilty to all charges. Hernandez was quickly made a person of interest in these charges and was apprehended alongside five other men on November 18, 2018, following a five-year joint investigation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the New York Police Department (NYPD), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The men were indicted on charges related to racketeering, weapon possession, and conspiracy to commit murder. The case is notable for its inclusion of rapper 6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, and his associate Kifano " Shotti" Jordan as defendants. The trial of the Nine Trey Gangsters was a criminal case against eleven alleged members and associates of the street gang Nine Trey Gangsters.
