Violent Home Invasion Targets Rapper's Mother
In a shocking incident that has rocked the music community, the mother of controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was violently held at gunpoint during a terrifying home invasion at her Florida residence. The attack occurred on Sunday night while her son was publicly livestreaming from another location.
According to authorities from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched to the property shortly before 10 p.m. following emergency reports of an active robbery in progress. The incident unfolded with frightening precision as four masked intruders forced their way inside the home.
Details of the Terrifying Ordeal
Official statements from law enforcement reveal that the assailants specifically targeted 60-year-old Natividad Perez-Hernandez, holding her at gunpoint while they systematically ransacked the property. Investigators confirmed that one suspect restrained the elderly woman while the others tore through rooms searching for valuables.
The intruders reportedly demanded information about where cash and keys were kept, creating a terrifying experience for the victim. By the time police officers arrived at the scene, the perpetrators had already fled the property, possibly escaping in a waiting vehicle.
Law enforcement deployed a K-9 unit in an attempt to track the suspects, but the search proved unsuccessful. The coordinated nature of the attack and the swift getaway suggest the intruders had planned the invasion carefully.
Rapper's Response and Connection to Livestream
The timing of the incident proved particularly striking as it occurred simultaneously with Tekashi 6ix9ine – whose real name is Daniel Hernandez – participating in a livestream with YouTuber Jack Doherty. The rapper later addressed the situation directly through his Instagram Stories, condemning what he described as cowardly behaviour by the perpetrators.
6ix9ine revealed that the intruders deliberately targeted his home after realising he was away, taking advantage of a rare exception to his house-arrest restrictions. Displaying his ankle monitor on camera, the rapper explained: 'I've been on house arrest. Everybody knows that. Yesterday they let me leave for work. People saw I was on livestream… they took that opportunity to do some cowardly s***.'
The rapper expressed particular outrage that the attack involved his 60-year-old mother, emphasising the personal violation of the incident. 'My mom is 60 years old,' he said. 'Y'all know I'm supposed to be home. Y'all saw me in Miami and did that. Nobody respects that.'
Background of Legal Troubles
This burglary incident occurs against the backdrop of the rapper's ongoing legal challenges and public controversies. In 2018, 6ix9ine became one of hip-hop's most controversial figures after agreeing to testify for federal prosecutors against members of the Nine Trey Bloods gang.
Facing a federal indictment that included racketeering, firearm possession, and charges linked to armed robbery and attempted murder, he avoided what could have been a decades-long prison sentence by cooperating with authorities. His cooperation followed years of mounting legal troubles, including a separate criminal matter stemming from a 2015 incident involving a minor.
After pleading guilty to the use of a child in a sexual performance, which required him to abide by specific conditions including probation and behaviour restrictions, 6ix9ine ultimately received a dramatically reduced sentence. In December 2019, he was sentenced to just two years in prison compared to the 47-year minimum he initially faced.
He was released early in April 2020 to serve the remainder of his sentence on house arrest, a decision influenced by COVID-19 concerns in federal facilities. The current home invasion adds another layer of complexity to the rapper's already tumultuous public life and ongoing security concerns.
