UPDATED NOV 21, 2018

Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested Sunday by federal agents and charged with a litany of crimes, including armed robbery, conspiracy to commit murder, and drug distribution. At a hearing on Monday afternoon, prosecutors laid out their case against 6ix9ine (real name Daniel Hernandez) and four of his associates -- ex-manager Kifano “Shottie” Jordan, Faheem “Crippy” Walter, Jensel “Ish” Butler and Jamel “Mel Murda” Jones -- who were also arrested, Rolling Stone reported.

6ix9ine and his associates face 17 federal charges. If found guilty, 6ix9ine faces a minimum of 32 years and a maximum of life in prison. Hernandez’ attorney, Lance Lazzaro, advocated for bail under the condition Hernandez surrenders his passport, pays over $1 million for bail and be placed under house arrest. But the federal judge denied the request citing he may still be a threat to the community.
