Legal problems just keep on coming for Tekashi 6ix9ine after it was revealed that the controversial rapper is being sued for bailing on his set at Howard Homecoming Weekend back in October.
As reported by TMZ, documents show that the rapper signed a $60,000 contract to play the show but when the day came he simply never showed up.
The lawsuit claims that the rapper repeatedly avoided contact with promoters to the point that it wasn’t until 8pm on the night of the concert that ticketholders were told that the gig was no more.
Promoters are seeking US$300,000 in damages, claiming that they sold US$165,336 in presale seats and another US$30,300 in VIP tables for the event.
Tekashi 6ix9ine (aka Daniel Hernandez) is currently behind bars, facing charges of being involved with gang-related activities, firearms charges, including conspiracy to murder and armed robbery for which he could receive life in prison.
Attorneys representing Hernandez argued for his release on $2 million bail under the conditions that he surrendered his passport and remained under house arrest.
The judge rejected this request on that ground that under those bail conditions he still posed a threat to the community.
Hernandez’s lawyer Lance Lazarro is reportedly in the process of putting together a bail package for the rapper.
Earlier in the year, Hernandez pled guilty to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance over a 2015 video that featured him and a girl that was 13 at the time.
Hernandez avoided jail time for this conviction, taking a plea deal under that stipulation that he get his high school certificate and refrain from posting sexually explicit or violent images of women or children to social media, and not commit another crime for two years.
