Since the rapper is in jail in New York on a federal case, attorney Carl Moore says the warrant should go away.
Tekashi 6ix9ine missed a hearing on Thursday morning (Dec. 20) in Houston, T.X., tied to a misdemeanor assault charge linked to a fight in a Texas mall earlier this year. The rapper's Houston-based lawyer tells Billboard that his client had a very good reason for skipping out on court: he's currently behind bars in a New York federal prison following his Nov. 18 arrest by federal ATF and Homeland Security agents on six counts of racketeering, firearm, assault with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy murder charges.
"We plan to get the case dismissed and we have filed an affidavit to non-prosecution that the complaining witness executed...he does not wish to pursue the prosecution of Danny [Tekashi]," says Carl Moore of the paperwork filed on Thursday on behalf of the alleged victim, Santiago Albarran, which states that he also does not wish to go forward with the prosecution of the rapper (born Daniel Hernandez).
