Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was sentenced to three more months in prison Friday for violating the terms of his supervised release in a New York gang case by assaulting a man and possessing drugs.
The 29-year-old artist from Brooklyn, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, admitted to the violations during a hearing in federal court in Manhattan, where Judge Paul Engelmayer expressed frustration that Hernandez keeps getting into trouble. The rapper got a 45-day sentence late last year for breaking the supervised release terms.

“From time to time your actions suggest that you believe that ordinary rules don’t apply to you," said the judge, who said another prison sentence was needed to send a message to Hernandez.
