Tekashi’s lawyer Lance Lazzaro revealed that Hernandez Sr. has been an absconding father since Tekashi was born. The last time Tekashi saw his father was at age 9. At one point, the rapper’s mother allowed Hernandez Sr. to live with the family however, she kicked him out after she discovered him doing heroin in front of the kids.
Hernandez Sr. didn’t get a chance to speak to his son in person at the court but he did talk to the reporters outside the court and expressed that he is glad that Tekashi is safe in there.
