Tekashi 6ix9ine was arrested in Florida last night. The rapper apparently failed to show up for his appointed court date, according to reports.
6ix9ine was taken to the Palm Beach County Jail before being released on bail for $2,000. His run ins with the law and legal troubles seem to have no end!
The arrest was connected to a number of traffic tickets the rapper had allegedly failed to pay in June. TMZ also reports that he was pulled over for driving way over the speed limit. His run-ins with the law and legal troubles seem to have no end!

Citations for an unregistered vehicle and failure to have car insurance were also issued. A judge also issued the rapper a warrant before he failed to show up for court dates last month to address the traffic tickets. You would think he would have learned his lesson by now...
