Tekashi 6ix9ine Sentenced To 2 Years After Snitching On Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods

Tekashi 6ix9ine is headed back to jail.

Manhattan federal Judge Paul Engelmayer sentenced the hip-hop provocateur to two years behind bars Wednesday, despite prosecutors pushing for a lower sentence and lauding his “extraordinary” cooperation against his former associates in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

The 23-year-old rapper begged the judge for mercy but appeared rattled in court by the presence of his estranged father, whom he hasn’t seen since he was 9 years old.

“Is this a f–king joke, [with] everything that I go through?” Tekashi asked after spotting his 58-year-old dad, who is also named Daniel Hernandez.

Before the sentence was handed down, his father raised his hand from the gallery to speak on behalf of his long-lost son, but was forcefully shot down by the judge.

“It’s way too late to show up and speak on his behalf. You squandered that right many years ago,” Engelmayer told the elder Hernandez.

Tekashi’s father hasn’t had a relationship with him since he was kicked out by the rapper’s mother, but said he showed up to tell him he loves him.

“I’m trying to look out for him,” the elder Hernandez told The Post. “I want to tell him I love him.”

Tekashi faced decades in prison following his guilty plea on racketeering and other charges, but the deal he cut with feds allowed Engelmayer to impose whatever sentence the judge wanted.

The “GUMMO” artist, whose famed rainbow mane has almost completely grown out behind bars, was at times tearful Wednesday in the courtroom, where he was wearing blue jailhouse duds and white Nike sneakers.

It’s not immediately clear if Tekashi will enter federal witness protection following his release from federal custody. Prosecutors have cited unspecified safety threats faced by the rapper following his highly public testimony at the recent trial of Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods Anthony Ellison and Aljermiah Mack.

The rhymester revealed earlier this year that he flipped just a day after feds busted the gang.

In a letter to Engelmayer submitted last week, Tekashi said the arrest saved his life.
