SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — Authorities in the Dominican Republic have arrested U.S. rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, who is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday on charges of domestic violence.
The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernández, is being held at a jail in the capital of Santo Domingo, where he was arrested Wednesday, officials said.
No further details were immediately available, and it wasn’t immediately clear if Hernández has an attorney.
A judge on Thursday is expected to decide whether the rapper will remain behind bars or be freed on bond as the investigation continues.
