Tekashi 6ix9ine was thrown behind bars for at least two weeks Tuesday for
a slew of alleged violations � including testing positive for
methamphetamine, taking a trip to Las Vegas and showing up an hour late to court.

Manhattan federal Judge Paul Engelmayer ripped the traditionally rainbow- haired rapper � whose real name is Daniel Hernandez � for having a �full spectrum disregard for the law� and violating terms of his supervised
release.

Tekashi has been a free man since 2020, when he was released following a two-year prison stint on charges including conspiracy to commit murder
related to his ties to the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang.

He was due in court at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday � but was an hour late,
infuriating Engelmayer, who ordered his arrest.

�I�m not a bad person,� Tekashi, 28, said in court during an afternoon
hearing, noting that he�d flown into New York Monday night from Florida.

�I woke up late.�

Prosecutor Jonathan Rebold told Engelmayer that the inked-up �Gummo�
rapper has tested positive for meth twice in the last two weeks � and blew
off a drug test � despite having about six months left on his five-year
term of supervised release.

Tekashi was supposed to stay out of trouble as part of that release.

Lance Lazzaro, a lawyer for the alleged serial offender, claimed it was
simply a mix-up that his client tested positive for meth, since he takes
the prescription drug Adderall, which contains methamphetamine.

Prosecutors also accused Tekashi of taking an unsanctioned trip to Las
Vegas for a concert.

Engelmayer also brought up his many arrests since his release � including
a bust in the Dominican Republic and an arrest in Florida for driving 136
mph in a 65-mph zone � as part of what he called a pattern of flouting the
law.

The judge said Tekashi showed a �broader pattern� of misbehavior and
ordered him thrown behind bars until the next court hearing on Nov. 12,
when they would discuss whether the musician should be let free.

Tekashi has a stunning list of legal woes. The embattled snitch was
arrested in the Dominican Republic for allegedly assaulting his
girlfriend, Yail�n la M�s Viral, in January. He�d also been busted for allegedly assaulting two music producers in the Dominican Republic and had pleaded guilty in 2015 to using a 13-year-old in a sexual performance.

Tekashi�s testimony in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods trial helped put away
his former fellow gangbangers � including a gang leader who got a 17-year sentence on drug dealing and racketeering charges.

The hip-hop provocateur hatched a plea deal with the feds that got him
leniency � just two years in prison � in exchange for ratting out the gang members.
