Published

Tekashi 6ix9ine copped to violating the terms of his probation once again, this time for pleading guilty to assaulting a man in a mall who called him a "snitch" ... and now he's been placed on supervised release with an ankle monitor.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained legal docs handed down in federal court in NYC on Friday, ordering the rainbow-haired rapper to adhere to home confinement with an electronic monitor, barring the usual exceptions for getting out of the house ... like for religious services, medical and mental health treatment, and court-ordered appearances.

The rap game is sprinkled with gym rats ... Lil Jon, Megan Thee Stallion, Moneybagg Yo, and Benzino, just to name a few ... but Meth says it's guys like Mike who keep him going.

He'll have the opportunity in his next for a rom-com titled "Relationship Goals" co-starring Kelly Rowland, Annie Gonzalez, and more ... going topless will really give the audience positive affirmations!!!
