As per Billboard, Hernendez was guilty of violating his five-year supervised release. However, in February 2025, he was charged with possession of cocaine and MDMA. His lawyer mentioned that custodial punishment would be "much more severe, difficult, and even dangerous" when compared to a "typical inmate"Further, his lawyer added:"Due to Mr. Hernandez's classification, he always serves his jail time segregated and fully isolated from other inamtes. As a result, Mr. Hernandez is given extremely limited social interaction with other inamtes and very little time outside to get fresh air and exercise."6ix9ine's jail sentence stems from his 2018 racketeering case.
