Recently, Tekashi 6ix9ine’s mother was reportedly held at gunpoint during a robbery at his Florida mansion, where he was livestreaming with YouTuber Jack Doherty, who had just been arrested.
According to surveillance footage obtained by TMZ, four masked gunmen—dressed entirely in black—entered the Palm Beach home through the garage and confronted 6ix9ine’s 60-year-old mother, Nativida Perez Hernandez.
The video reveals her trembling as she speaks to the intruders, while her dog watches on.
One of the robbers stayed with Perez-Hernandez, preventing her from calling for help while the others ransacked the house in search of valuables.
The intruders demanded cash and car keys, as reported by the Palm Beach Police Department.
Further footage from outside the residence shows one of the suspects grabbing Perez-Hernandez’s hand and trying to lead her outside. It looks like he pauses for a moment before attempting to bring her back inside, seemingly distracted by something else.
Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was not present during the incident—he was livestreaming with Doherty just one day after the YouTuber’s arrest in Miami for drug possession.
Authorities indicated that the suspects fled in a getaway vehicle. Details on whether they took anything remain unclear.
Reportedly, police arrived quickly and conducted a search of the home and surrounding area with a K-9 unit but could not apprehend the suspects. No arrests have been made yet.
Known for his distinctive face tattoos, 6ix9ine has faced numerous legal challenges since his rise to fame. Just last month, he admitted to assaulting a man who mocked him for his testimony against gang members, which breached his probation terms.
In 2019, he had struck a man who taunted him about cooperating with authorities against the Nine Trey Gangsta Blood gang as part of a subsequent extortion case.
Earlier this summer, Hernandez pleaded guilty to violating the conditions of his supervised release by concealing MDMA and cocaine at his Florida home. As a result of a plea deal, past probation violations concerning gun and drug charges were dropped, and he was allowed to complete 300 hours of community service prior to sentencing.
Originally, he received a two-year prison sentence in 2019 after accusations that he cooperated with a federal investigation regarding his former gang, allegedly using them as a “personal hit squad.” He was granted early release from the hospital in April 2020 due to asthma complications during the COVID-19 pandemic.
