Who is 6ix9ine's father?
6ix9ine did not meet his father until he was nine years old and apparently knew him very briefly. 6ix9ine, who shares the same name as his father’s, was told by his mother that his father was dead, as revealed by the father himself later.

He was also jailed for five years for selling drugs.
According to HipHopDX, 6ix9ine’s father last showed up at 6ix9ine’s December 2019 sentencing where he had asked to speak on his behalf, but the judge apparently told him, “It’s way too late to show and speak on his behalf. You squandered that right many years ago.” Tekashi 6ix9ine had also expressed his opinion at the time saying, “I took one glance- I see my biological father. I haven’t seen him since the third grade. I don’t even know if this is a f**kin’ joke, everything I go through.”
