Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Conditionally Released from Dominican Jail on Domestic Violence Charges

Hernández's release comes with conditions including a deposit, counseling, and regular meetings with authorities as investigations continue into allegations of assault against his girlfriend, Dominican rapper Yailín.

• Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernández, has been conditionally released from jail in the Dominican Republic after being arrested on domestic violence charges.
• He is required to pay a $510 deposit, undergo government counseling, and meet with authorities every two months until the investigation concludes.
• The charges stem from allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend, Dominican rapper Yailín, real name Jeorjina Guillermo-Diaz, who was also arrested and released after Hernández posted her $9,000 bail.
• Hernández's attorney accused prosecutors of fabricating evidence, while the prosecutor highlighted the common reluctance of victims to report domestic violence.
• This is the second time Hernández has been arrested in the Dominican Republic, and the latest in a string of criminal complaints against him, including previous accusations of using a violent gang as a 'personal hit squad' in the U.S.
