Tekashi 6ix9ine might soon be released from a New York prison, but a growing number of problems await him back in South Florida. The controversial rapper, whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez, is currently facing several accusations, including that he abused, drugged and stole from an ex-girlfriend and skipped out on millions of dollars of payments to a vape company. The Broward-based vape company QR Joy filed a lawsuit against the rapper earlier this month, saying it foot the bill for the song, “Shaka Laka,” including a $1 million payment to Kodak Black — but Hernandez didn’t hold up his end of the deal, according to a complaint. Meanwhile, Hernandez faces a separate lawsuit in South Florida federal court from his ex-girlfriend and fellow Latin rapper Yailin La Mas Viral, who alleges he physically and emotionally abused her, stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from her, and at one point held her hostage at his home in Palm Beach County.

Joseph Cannon was glued to the TV until the early morning hours of Nov. 6, when it had become clear that Donald Trump would be the next president. “People were so happy,” the tall, passionate Army vet recalls. He, too, was feeling a sense of hope he hadn’t felt in a while.
