Rapper 6ix9ine, whose legal troubles turned fantastical last year when he pleaded guilty to a series of felony charges, has now admitted that he had drugs on him when he was arrested. The plea, made in a federal courtroom before Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, is the latest chapter in the artist’s long history of dealing with the law.
So they reportedly pled guilty to two drug possession charges from a police raid on his home when he was taken into police custody in March. Information about what had been found has been kept under wraps, but following the bust, authorities have confirmed that they retrieved drugs such as cocaine and MDMA, which they believe belong to the rapper. Prosecutors also agreed to dismiss two other charges in the plea deal, which included La Moria’s admission of guilt.

This is the second time 6ix9ine has landed himself in hot water for violating his 2018 plea agreement. That agreement, which he had hoped would be a legal turning point even after he cooperated with federal authorities, particularly in his testimony against fellow alleged gang members, crumbled away. The decision granted him early release during the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was also met with broad criticism and threats from the hip-hop community and beyond. Now, with a sentencing hearing set for September, the rainbow-haired rapper is once again at a legal crossroads. The judge could sentence Mr. Collins to as little as a few months or as much as several years in prison, depending on how the court views his repeated transgressions and the specifics of this latest arrest.
It is the latest blow for the Brooklyn-born rapper in a post-prison life of swerving unpredictably between global fame, social media provocations, and ongoing legal woes. This newest revelation could jeopardize his place in the spotlight yet again. The future is unclear for 6ix9ine. Staring down the barrel and with critics now circling like vultures, the courtroom is all eyes this September, where the final outcome could serve to either slam on the brakes and apply a short rest to his already erratic career or stop for the long haul.
