Tekashi 6ix9ine is finally getting credit for a real hit.

The snitching hip-hop star slugged a man who taunted him for infamously testifying against his own gang, the rapper admitted in court Thursday as he copped to violating probation.

The 29-year-old “GOOBA” hitmaker admitted in Manhattan federal court to violating the terms of his probation yet again with the attack, in which he and a pal socked the in a Florida gym on Aug. 8.

Prosecutor Jonathan Rebold alleged that the victim mocked Tekashi for narcing on the Nine Trey Gangsta Blood gang as part of a 2019 plea deal in a racketeering case against the gang members.

“Me and another individual hit a person and it was wrong,” the subdued jailbird rapper said to Judge Paul Engelmeyer Thursday.

During the roughly 45-minute hearing, Tekashi was mostly quiet and kept his head down, when he wasn’t talking to his lawyer.

The flamboyant rhymer was infamously brutally beaten by a group of men at an LA Fitness in Florida in 2023. The group yelled “shut the f–k up” during the assault — presumably a warning to Tekashi for flipping on his former gang and getting a lenient two-year prison sentence.

The Brooklyn-born rapper — whose real name is Daniel Hernandez — has a long string of prior probation violations. He pleaded guilty earlier this summer to violating the terms of his supervised release by stashing MDMA and cocaine at his Florida mansion.

As part of the July plea deal, prosecutors agreed to drop other probation violations tied to gun and drug crimes and allowed Hernandez to complete 300 hours of community service ahead of sentencing.

Engelmayer at the time warned that if Hernandez had any more brushes with the law, it would come with severe consequences.

“The court would have the authority to impose a prison term of up to five years,” the judge told Hernandez on July 23.

The tattoo-faced “Gummo” musician is set to be sentenced on Nov. 4 for both guilty pleas.

He was previously sentenced to 45 days in jail in November for violating his probation by failing drug tests and traveling without permission.

Hernandez received a two-year prison sentence in 2019 after he cooperated with the feds against his former gang in the case accusing him of using the gang as his “personal hit squad.” He was let out early, in April 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic because he has asthma.
