The mother of Tekashi's child Sara Molina has responded to the sentencing in a few Instagram stories. His biological father also spoke outside the court about the sentence:
Previously:The day of reckoning for Tekashi 6ix9ine is here. The rapper has been sentenced to two years in prison with five years of supervised release. He would also have to serve 300 hours of community service and pay a fine of $35000. His 13 months time served will be taken into account for the 2 years sentence, which means he will be out by late 2020.
The viral sensation was sentenced Wednesday morning at Manhattan Federal Court for crimes related to his former gang, Nine Trey Bloods. In November 2018, the feds arrested Tekashi, born Daniel Hernandez and a bunch of his Nine Trey associates on racketeering and firearms charges. The 22-year-old rapper was facing more than four decades in prison on nine federal charges including racketeering, conspiracy, and narcotics trafficking.
His biological father also spoke about the sentencing outside the court:In September, Tekashi agreed to plead guilty to “violent crimes, shootings, and drug dealing” as part of his cooperation with the authorities. He eventually copped to nine federal counts under a cooperation deal, in the hopes of getting a much lighter sentence from the judge. Prosecutors had said that if Tekashi agreed to “successfully cooperate,” they would only ask for a “below any mandatory minimum” sentence for him. Hernandez testified in the racketeering case against two purported Nine Trey members: Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack.
Tekashi said in the leaked audio that when he used to get booked for shows and performances, Nine Trey Bloods members would take about half of it and pass the rest to him. Tekashi also spilled the beans on the Times Square shooting involving Chief Keef. He admitted that he arranged the hit and promised $20k to the shooter.

Judge Engelmayer said to Tekashi while pronouncing the breaking judgment: “Mr. Hernandez, I’ve given it a lot of close thought, including your cooperation. The following are my thoughts, & this is going to take a little while. You are in custody for 13 months. I agree you deserve a great deal of credit for cooperation. However, I cannot agree with your counsel that time served it appropriate. In my judgment, your conduct is too violent and selfish to make 13 months reasonable. You will not be going free today.”
Today in the court, Tekashi again asked for another chance so he can inspire young kids who look up to him. Here is a brief by
