Update:
Tekashi 6ix9ine appeared in NYC court yesterday. Reportedly, he faces extradition to Texas. The original incident occurred in Houston.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday, Tekashi 6ix9ine took to Instagram to reveal that he'll be back in New York in "six days," but it seems he came five days early and the police were there to greet him. According to TMZ, the "Keke" rapper was arrested on an outstanding arrest warrant in Houston.
Earlier this year, a warrant was issued to Tekashi for allegedly choking a 16-year-old boy in Houston's Galleria Mall in January. Video showed the rapper confronting the teen, but Tekashi was never taped choking him.
Tekashi's team told TMZ that they were planning on addressing the warrant, adding that it's unfair that he was arrested and will possibly be extradited to Texas over a misdemeanor offense.
More details to come.
