Tekashi 6ix9ine isn’t behind bars or running from a court date. The Brooklyn rapper’s hearing, which was scheduled to take place on Tuesday (April 10), was postponed due to the results of his GED test not being available.
DJ Akademiks, who previously claimed 6ix9ine didn’t show up for the court date, clarified his earlier remarks after learning the DAY69 artist’s lawyers filed a motion to delay the proceedings.
6ix9ine’s management also prompted speculation about their client being incarcerated by tweeting “Free69” from his Twitter and announcing they took over his Instagram account. The publicity stunt coincided with the release of his new song “GOTTI,” which debuted on streaming outlets on Tuesday.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has dropped a new song titled “GOTTI” after deleting all of the posts on his Instagram account. The track appears on an updated version of his debut album DAY69 dubbed DAY69: Graduation Day, which is available now on streaming outlets.
The song arrives amid reports of the controversial rapper skipping out on his scheduled court date on Tuesday (April 10). Everyday Struggle host DJ Akademiks — who has close ties to the “GUMMO” artist — claims 6ix9ine didn’t show up to the hearing. But in February, Akademiks erroneously reported 6ix9ine was arrested at a video shoot when the NYPD revealed the polarizing MC was simply removed from the scene for safety precautions.
6ix9ine’s management added fuel to the fire of speculation by announcing they’d taken over his Instagram account because he will not be back “until further notice.”
“MANAGEMENT: TEKASHI WONT BE BACK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. HE’S DECIDED TO RELEASE THE OFFICIAL AUDIO TO GOTTI TODAY FOR YOU GUYS, LINK IS IN HIS BIO,” the message reads. “WE’LL UPDATE YOU GUYS ON HIS BEHALF FOR THE TIME BEING. GO LISTEN TO GOTTI NOW! LINK IN HIS BIO. HE LOVES YOU GUYS! #69.”
“#FREE69” was also tweeted from his official Twttier account.
The polarizing rapper had been asking fans to pray for him ahead of his court date, noting he was worried the judge would revoke his probation.
HipHopDX has reached out to 6ix9ine’s management for details on the situation.

With a court appearance scheduled for Tuesday (April 10), Tekashi 6ix9ine is asking the internet to lift him up in prayer.
In a video uploaded to social media on Monday (April 9), 6ix9ine informed fans of his upcoming court appearance and later asked them to put him in their prayers.
The rapper appears somewhat somber in the video, revealing that he’s dotted his I’s and crossed his T’s on the court’s conditions, but is still at the mercy of the judge in the matter.
“Yo, so I got court tomorrow. And I want everybody to put me in their prayers,” 6ix9ine said. “Hopefully, we come out on top. GED is done. Everything is done. But you never know what the judge is gonna say, so I want everybody to say a prayer. Hopefully, I could say what’s up to y’all tomorrow.”
Tuesday’s court appearance stems from pleading guilty to a charge of use of a child in a sexual performance, which dates back to 2015.
Completing his GED was part of the court’s orders as part of 6ix9ine’s probation, but if the judge in his case sees fit he could be looking at time behind bars.
In his Breakfast Club interview in March (which is nearing 9 million YouTube views), a pastor prayed for God to keep 6ix9ine safe, healthy and to help him reach his potential.

Satanic prayers by the look of this fuck
The legal system should fail us as they always do and put takeissha away like its regular day at the office
If you point out facts DX will delete your comment.
I don’t pray for pedophiles. 6ix 9ine deserves all the bad karma heading his way. Fuck him.
He’ll be Gummo’d in prison anyways since he failed his GED back in January
LOLLLLL someone already too the name “silent fart”- Im jealous. Who the fuck is this guy- dude you deserve whatever is coming to you for making such heinous “music” AND being a pedo.
For your sake, Id start stretching your sphincter now- the dicks in prison are probably bigger than the little kid ones you prefer.
Rainbow-brite looking bitch- better dye your hair back now. Oh yah! remember all that “test my gang shit”? YAH the real bloods gonna pull that card. You know they dont like fake gangbangers, but the REEAAALLLYYYY dont like pedophiles.
Sleep tight, good luck tryin to keep that butthole tight.
A pedophile asking for people to pray that he gets let off by the judge..what the fuck kind of sick world do we live in where this it’s acceptable for someone to do this online to millions of followers? Hopefully the judge has a brain in his fucking head and locks this deranged fuck up
Why now you wait till now after you was selling out and now playing humble.pray always before you make and after you make it my son is a good man and would humble himself all the time if given your chance in life and remember everyone meek mill locked up still for less than what he has done
6ix9ine thicc tho, no homo.
No not this clown again, if everyone hasn’t realize this fool is a clown, and using a gimmick to sell record and become famous, the all you’ll buying into this life fake life is stupid
Bro you’re here on his news article commenting. Pathetic.
Akademiks is so gay for that kid it makes me cringe. Probably some bullshit 69 is hiding and Akademiks is lying again because those two retards think it helps his reputation or something. Honestly do hope he did get arrested though. F*cking idiot has pink hair and is dressed like a girl in those pics. Why would you dress like that knowing they might throw you in jail that day? Kid’s literally asking for it and I’m a bit nauseous after reading all that.
Dude doesn`t have pink hair, retard.
Heard he won’t be posting till “further notice”… Y’all ready for Ak and Tekashi to come out their closet?
6ix9ine will come out on top because that’s what winners do, he is so far from being a pedophile, you all run your mouth from hearsay not actual facts. To be considered a pedo you have to go after a kid under the age of 12. He didn’t have sex with no under age girl. I am sick of the lies being blasted on him, that’s okay though keep it up your just giving him more good Karma from it
Sure thing Kristie, and remember he only smacks you around because he loves you. Lol women
Yeah. He only plead guilty to sexual exploration of a minor.
Im not understanding why this child molester is allowed so much attention hip hop is dying fast
Doesn’t his judge realize he was involved in a fight at LAX. Violate this fool already. Let’s see how the rainbow hair and 69 tattoos go over in prison when he’s pled to sexual exploitation of a minor. Hahaha
You know the boi Tekashi made it with all the scathing hatred on here. Only those at the top bring out the haters. Was on a TI article and every post was snitch this snitch that. Same for a 2Pac article, rapist this pussy that. Yall hate the boi so much why click the article? smdh
Whatever with all that other shit. This dude plead guilty to sexual exploitation of a minor. Nice to know you you support that shit.
Brown and black folks alike been forced to cop guilty pleas forever now. You can stand by your morals and blow trial and get fucked. Open and shut case Jackson. Tell you ain’t from the hood with all that gossip girl shit. Smh, reading tabloids and shit. As I said before you the same type up in the TI articles talkin bout he a snitch. I bet you believe Rick Ross a cop too? Fuk outta here wit that speculation off rumor bullshit.
Rick Ross was a C.O. and thats not a rumor you dumb motherfucker!
Dam your ho ass momma raised some slow ass mongoloids. Ever been jumped out on or pulled over by a CO? You illiterate bitch.
Y’all are really doing some mental gymnastics to justify supporting a pedophile. Only people who stick up for him are grade school kids, no surprise there lmaoooo. Kids ruin fucking everything. Same kids who make people like Logan Paul famous for being a dick. Gotta give success to a weirdo who touched up on some naked 14 year old, cause it’s as easy as streaming his shitty music on mom and dad’s Spotify account. I’ve never heard a grown ass adult bump his music anywhere in public. Fool already lost over a million listeners in 1 month on Spotify and not even peep lost that much so quick.. and he can’t even make music anymore. 69 wants hate anyways, so don’t cry when people do.
His next court date is June 19th
