The Tekashi Files: Rapper Debunks Viral Conspiracy Amidst Federal Heat and Family Terror

The rumors have been swirling through the dark corners of the internet for days: Was the violent home invasion of Daniel Hernandez—better known as 6ix9ine—orchestrated by fellow Florida internet personalities, the Island Boys?

We can now put that theory to rest.

In a candid, high-stakes livestream alongside Adin Ross, Ben Da Donnn, and Neon, the polarizing rapper broke his silence on the terrifying ordeal that left his family shaken. Hernandez didn’t mince words when addressing the viral speculation implicating Franky and Alex Venegas (The Island Boys).

"That’s just a myth—an Instagram conspiracy," Hernandez declared, dismantling the theory with a single, crucial observation: the perpetrators lacked the duo's signature ink. "There were no tattoos."

Instead, Hernandez paints a picture of a crime of opportunity, likely committed by locals rather than industry rivals. "There are 230 homes in my neighborhood," he explained, categorizing the suspects as "kids in the neighborhood" who saw he was working and made their move. "They were kids from the looks of it."

The Night of the Raid

While the internet focuses on who didn't do it, the facts regarding what actually transpired on Sunday, November 16, are chilling.

According to official reports from the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office, this was a calculated strike. Four armed, masked men descended on the property. Hernandez was not on the premises, but his 60-year-old mother was.

Deputies report that the matriarch was physically held outside the residence at gunpoint—a hostage in her own driveway—while the remaining assailants stormed the interior. They ransacked the property, demanding cash and car keys. By the time K-9 units initiated a track-and-search, the trail had gone cold; the suspects had likely fled in a waiting vehicle.

"I'm glad my mom's okay and my family's okay," Hernandez stated, though the psychological toll is undeniable.

A War on Two Fronts

The timing of this invasion couldn't be worse. Hernandez isn't just fighting to secure his home; he’s fighting to stay out of federal prison.

Court documents confirm that the federal government is looking to revoke the rapper's supervised release. Prosecutors are pushing for a nine-month sentence, explicitly stating their intent to "send a message" to government cooperators that leniency is not a "green-light to recidivate."

Hernandez's legal counsel, Lance Lazzaro, is pushing back. He argues that incarceration for a high-profile informant effectively means solitary confinement—"segregated and fully isolated" with zero social interaction.

The Next Move

The fallout from Sunday’s attack has already impacted the legal proceedings. Hernandez has officially requested a postponement of his sentencing until January. His priority has shifted from legal defense to physical defense: he needs time to relocate his family to a secure, undisclosed location.
