6ix9ine asked a federal judge to delay his sentencing and let him relocate his family after four masked gunmen invaded his Florida home and held his 60-year-old mother at gunpoint.
The rapper’s lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, filed a letter with U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on November 18 requesting an adjournment of 6ix9ine’s sentencing, which had been set for November 20, 2025, in Manhattan federal court.
The filing states that 6ix9ine, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, is seeking to relocate his family for safety and that the proposed relocation “is subject to approval from the Probation Department.”
“The reason for this request is that Mr. Hernandez was the victim of a home invasion on Sunday, November 16. Four masked men entered his home and held his mother at gunpoint while several items were taken from his home,” Lazzaro wrote.
Lazzaro also told the judge that federal prosecutors consented to the request. “My office has been in contact with AUSA Jonathan Rebold, and he consents to this request,” the attorney wrote.
The break-in occurred at 6ix9ine’s Lake Worth home, where he has been living under supervised release.
Authorities confirmed the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and opened an investigation. No arrests have been announced.
The letter marks the latest development in 6ix9ine’s ongoing legal troubles.
He has been under court supervision since pleading guilty in 2019 to racketeering and weapons charges and cooperating with the government’s case against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
His cooperation earned him a reduced sentence, but he has since faced several probation violations and public altercations that put him back under federal scrutiny.
Judge Engelmayer has not yet ruled on the adjournment request. If granted, sentencing would move from November 20 to sometime in January.
