Yairin reportedly admitted to crashing Tekashi's car “to cause him financial hardship” after allegedly taking some of his cash and passport.
The New York-born rapper also posted a video of the fight on his Instagram Stories. The footage gave police probable cause to arrest Yailin on suspicion of assault, tampering with a witness, and a felony.
However, Tekashi later paid Yairin's bail of $9,000, and once Yairin was released from prison, he claimed that he was actually the victim.
“What an injustice really… everything you see is not what it seems,” she wrote in Spanish on her Instagram Story at the time.
She also reposted a tweet claiming Tekashi had hit her in the past and then started recording to get her reaction.
Two months prior to the incident, Tekashi was also arrested on suspicion of assaulting a music producer who was collaborating with Yairin. However, the current status of this case is unclear.
Prior to that, he was arrested in Florida in August for failing to appear for multiple traffic enforcement hearings totaling more than $1,000.
His most high-profile run-in with the law was in 2019, when he was convicted of racketeering and other charges. However, he served a reduced sentence because he testified against his former gang, the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
