Tekashi 6ix9ine's new deal may be the light he needs at the end of the tunnel riddled with troubles.

The rapper's new contract is set to make him a 7-figure earner as long as he does not get in any public brawl or misconduct.

Tekashi 6ix9ine's new deal will reportedly introduce his music to new audiences around the globe and also comes with a different sound from what his fans are used to.

The special clause in the rapper's new deal is a piece of cake; at least, that is what the 28-year-old wants fans to believe. He described himself as a trouble-free individual who happens to attract trouble and controversy.

Speaking of trouble, the rapper was caught in a fight at a nightclub in Miami last month. An ex-girlfriend also sued him for revenge porn. This means all these backlogs must be cleared and prevented from happening again if the star hopes to earn a penny from his fresh contract.

On the new arrangement, TMZ confirmed that the "TROLLZ" rapper signed the dotted lines with Kartel Music and is expected to rake in over $6 million for a new album and a tour.

6ix9ine noted that the business agreement is more of "an exclusive tour arrangement" than the typical record deal signed by artists. He revealed that the exclusive contract would expand his new sound and brand to Mexico, South America, and Central America.

6ix9ine expressed his excitement to hit the ground running on the new development, which he claimed will allow him to explore and embrace his Hispanic heritage fully.

The musical artist also disclosed that his new sound would be a step away from the usual music he makes, adding that it is "nothing hip hop."

The 28-year-old was detained back in January over an alleged domestic violence incident that happened in the Dominican Republic. He was scheduled to attend a court hearing on January 18.

The Blast reported arrest came months after he was accused of assaulting a local music producer last year. He also allegedly used a violent gang as a "personal hit squad."

He also notably escaped the prison walls after he testified against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, who are famous on the East Coast. 6ix9ine was also taken into custody in 2023 for driving above the official Florida speed limit and other traffic issues.

He reportedly failed to show up in court to address the ticket issues, forcing the judge to authorize an arrest warrant. The rapper was then taken to the Palm Beach County Jail before being released on bail for $2,000.

Quite the trouble magnet, the star was ambushed by a group of men in March who beat him to a pulp and caused him to land at the hospital. The incident occurred in the sauna of a South Florida fitness center.

The rapper's effort to defend himself against the attack was fruitless as he was greatly outnumbered. The gym staff soon discovered him and alerted the authorities and emergency services, who rushed him to the hospital. 

Viral videos from the encounter showed two men kicking and punching him on the gym's bathroom floor as blood streamed down his face while he walked to the gym's central area.

The attack came days after he physically harassed an attendee at the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals in Miami.

A judge ordered the rapper to pay a $510 deposit, undergo government counseling, and meet with the authorities bimonthly till investigations into the allegation by his ex-girlfriend, a Dominican rapper, were concluded.

USA TODAY reported that the judge also issued protection orders for both sides as 6ix9ine’s lawyer, Waldo Pimentel, claimed lies were fabricated against him with incriminating evidence to make him look guilty.

The prosecutor, Ana Andrea Villa Camacho, however, explained her reason for insisting the rapper remained held in custody, noting, “We know perfectly well why victims do not file a complaint, why victims recant.”

How long can 6ix9ine hold his end of the bargain without getting into a fight? Time will surely tell.
