New York-native rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has been sentenced to four years probation after he was found guilty in the alleged child sex case.

In addition to the four-year probation period, the rapper should spend 1000 hours of community service.

Tekashi 6ix9ine was seen tight-lipped while walking into the NYC courthouse on Friday, 26th October where the judge gave him the sentence exactly what the rapper's team had requested.

After the sentence, the rapper embraced his original name saying he's Daniel Hernandez, not Tekashi69. He added,

I have millions of youth that look at me as a role model and the last place ai want to be is incarcerated, they don't deserve it. Thank you.

The 22-year-old rapper, who was born as Daniel Hernandez, was initially taken into custody in 2015 for his involvement in child sex performance.

The victim's mother filed a complaint in February 2015 where she claimed that her then-13-year-old daughter was filmed "having sexual contact with two adult males."

At that time, the rapper pled guilty to sexually touching the child, standing behind the child making a thrusting motion with his pelvis and smacking her on her buttocks. The plea came after the videos showing him engaged in sexual activity with the underage girl surfaced online.

In early August, he was arrested from John F. Kennedy airport after he broke his plea deal by missing a court date in a case he received for choking a 16-year-old man in Houston's Galleria Mall in January 2018. After his arrest, the prosecutors requested the sentence up to 3 years for the rapper.

Back in July, Tekashi was beaten by an anonymous group after he was kidnapped and robbed. He was taken by the group while he was returning to his home at around 4 in the morning after his work.
