American rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has received a two-year sentence for gang-related crimes and Skyy Daniels, a victim of Tekashi 6ix9ine’s gang violence is very happy about it.
On Wednesday, a judge revealed that his extraordinary cooperation with prosecutors let him dodge potential decades in prison. But did not absolve him entirely for using a violent gang as his “personal hit squad.”
The 23-year-old performer, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, could have faced a mandatory minimum of 37 years in prison. His crimes included orchestrating a shooting in which an innocent bystander sustained injuries.
Tekashi 6ix9ine has already served 13 months and is due for release in late 2020. However, Skyy Daniels, a victim of Tekashi 6ix9ine’s gang violence has expressed her joy that at least he would spend the holidays in jail.
Daniels said it was the least he deserved for “taking everything away from [her]”. According to the victim, she spent last Christmas in the hospital. She had to be away from her family because she had a mental breakdown. This was after the assault by Tekashi 6ix9ine’s gang outside 50 Cent’s studio.
Daniels also claimed that she was traumatized and needed therapy which she could not afford. She stressed that she wanted Tekashi to pay for treatment for all his victims and that she wanted him to go bankrupt.
