6ix9ine makes surprise concert appearance despite being on house arrest
6ix9ine was arrested in October for violating the terms of his prison release for a 2019 felony conviction. After being put on house arrest, he surprisingly made an appearance at a concert over the weekend.
The Brooklyn rapper made a deal with federal prosecutors that required him to serve one month in jail and three months of home detention with a curfew and electric monitoring. However, 6ix9ine seemingly went against those terms, taking to Instagram to share a video in front of a packed crowd.
In the clip, 6ix9ine can be seen performing on stage in an all-yellow outfit and flashing his ankle monitor. The caption saw him bragging about being outside on house arrest and responded to those who have tried to cancel him over the years.
“While on house arrest……… now I understand why they hate on me,” he wrote. “I’m impossible to stop. After all the campaigns to cancel me and blackball me this is REAL LIFE. @onielbebeshito ESTÁS ACABANDO CON EL MUNDO.”
6ix9ine joined Bebeshito on stage, having collaborated with the Cuban reggaeton singer on ‘Papita Frita‘ last year. The song, a collaboration with Lenier, has over 15 million YouTube views and 2.5 million streams on Spotify.
Fans took to the comments to react to his appearance despite his legal situation. One person said, “Will always be the king of all things entertainment, marketing and the best stage performer,” while another added, “I don’t know much of his music but I like him. After reading about his life and how much he has done for others, he seems like a good and humble human.”
On the other hand, one person took the opportunity to joke about his money issues after the IRS seized his belongings due to unpaid taxes. “Good time to throw a concert so you can pay out those taxes, smart man,” they wrote.
6ix9ine was initially arrested after his probation officer said he had failed drug tests and wasn’t following the rules about permission to travel. The deal also forced him to submit to supervision from the court’s probation department for another year.
