He is accused of assaulting two producers in October 2023.

The Dominican Republic Public Prosecutor’s Office has executed an arrest warrant for Tekashi following the alleged attack.

“This court “issues an arrest warrant against the suspect and the execution of the guarantee of 500,000 Dominican pesos,” the statement, translated from Spanish, reads.

The incident reportedly involved Tekashi in a recording studio in La Vega early in the morning of October 15.

The rapper and his team allegedly attacked two music producers, including Nelson Alfonso Hilario Garcia, after they got into a fight with his girlfriend, Yailin.

“He took my two producers and they destroyed my studio, without their control, without their knowledge,” producer Diamond La Mafia told Diario Libre at the time.

“He also threatened me via video call with the idea that I would fight, and said he was armed.”

Hilario Garcia suffered blunt force trauma to his head and face, the Public Prosecution Service said.

Diamond La Mafia said at the time that Tekashi was jealous of his relationship with Yailin.

OTHER ARRESTS

Just months after his brawl in the Dominican Republic, Tekashi was again charged with domestic violence in the country.

In January, the rapper was locked up in a prison in Santo Domingo.

This was the first time he was arrested on these charges. However, in 2019, Tekashi admitted that he had been a victim of domestic violence for years between 2011 and 2018.

The confession was made as part of a settlement with the New York City government during a preliminary hearing.

Tekashi pleaded guilty to nine federal charges in a racketeering case and received a reduced sentence.

In August 2023, he was booked into a Palm Beach County, Florida, jail after failing to appear in court.

He was driving while his license had been suspended, but was released a few hours later.

Earlier that year, in March, Tekashi was attacked by a group of people at a gym in Florida.
