The Court of Appeals of the Judicial District of La Vega has issued an international arrest warrant for Daniel Hernandez, better known as Tekashi 6ix9ine.
He is accused of assaulting two producers in October 2023 and the Dominican Republic’s Public Ministry executed an arrest warrant against Tekashi following the alleged assault.
Tekashi 6ix9ine assault and threats
“This court issues an arrest warrant against the accused and the execution of the guarantee of 500,000 Dominican pesos,” read the statement.
The incident allegedly involved Tekashi at a recording studio in La Vega in the early hours of 15 October.
The rapper and his crew allegedly assaulted two music producers, among them Nelson Alfonso Hilario Garcia, after they confronted his girlfriend, Yailin.
“He grabbed my two producers, trashed my studio, through no fault of their own, without knowing him,” producer Diamond La Mafia told Diario Libre at the time.
“He also threatened me by video call to fight, saying he was armed.”
Hilario Garcia received a heavy blow to the head and face, the Public Prosecutor’s Office said.
Diamond La Mafia said at the time that Tekashi was jealous of his relationship with Yailin.
Tekashi 6ix9ine and his other arrests
Just a few months after his brawl in the Dominican Republic, Tekashi was again charged with domestic abuse in the country.
In January, the rapper was booked into a Santo Domingo jail.
This was the first time he was arrested on these charges, however, in 2019, Tekashi admitted to years of domestic violence between 2011 and 2018.
The admission came as part of a plea deal with the New York City government at a pre-trial hearing.
Tekashi pleaded guilty to nine federal charges in a racketeering case for a reduced sentence.
In August 2023, he was booked into a Palm Beach County jail in Florida after failing to appear in court.
He had been driving on a suspended license, but was released from custody a few hours later.
Earlier that year, in March, Tekashi was assaulted by a group of people at a Florida gym.
