NEW YORK, NY – Tekashi 6ix9ine was charged with assaulting a police officer on Monday (May 21), but the controversial rapper has denied the allegations in an Instagram video posted on Tuesday afternoon (May 22).
“For all them stories, niggas not touch no police, man,” he said. “Them niggas is fucking corrupt. Them niggas beat the shit out of me. That’s just regular shit … regular shit that happen in Brooklyn every single day bro. Corrupt-ass cops.”
The NYPD told HipHopDX that 6ix9ine caused “pain and swelling” by squeezing and twisting the hands of an officer who was removing his handcuffs. The rainbow color-haired artist refuted this story.
“How the fuck I squeeze ya hand, how the fuck I pulled ya arm out ya socket if I’m in handcuffs?” he said. “But you know, everybody gonna wanna tell a story of clickbait. TMZ, everybody wants to cover ‘Tekashi assaults a cop.’ No the fuck I did not.”

Tekashi 6ix9ine was charged with assault on Monday (May 21) after allegedly grabbing and squeezing the hand of a police officer while he was in custody for driving with a suspended license.
HipHopDX has confirmed with the NYPD that police approached 6ix9ine’s vehicle on Sunday (May 20) because he was parked in front of a fire hydrant. After officers ran his name through the system, they discovered he had a suspended license. NYPD said he was charged with aggravated unlicensed operation.
Page Six and Spectrum News NY1’s Myles Miller reported additional charges were imposed against 6ix9ine after an incident at the 77th Precinct station house.
“While a Lieutenant was removing handcuffs from [6ix9ine] who was in police custody, [he] grabbed the Lieutenant by the hand, squeezing and twisting his hands causing pain and swelling,” a NYPD spokesperson told DX.
DX confirmed 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, has been charged with assault on a police officer.

6ix9ine has been mired by legal woes since pleading guilty to use of a child in a sexual performance in 2015. Last month, his next court date in the case was postponed.
More recently, a warrant for misdemeanor assault was reportedly issued in Texas following an incident in which the controversial artist allegedly choked a fan at The Galleria in Houston.
