Rapper Daniel Hernandez Threatens Abortion Over Gender at Reveal Party

During a livestreamed gender reveal party in early 2024, rapper Daniel Hernandez, known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, told a group of streamers that the pregnancy would be terminated if the unborn child were a girl. When his girlfriend Aliday Alter laughed and said she expected a girl, Hernandez repeated his threat. The party later announced that the baby is a boy.

Gendercide—the systematic devaluation and elimination of female infants—has been documented across cultures and eras. Sources note it as a global problem and cite a 1 BC letter from Roman soldier Hilarion urging his wife to kill a baby girl, illustrating that bias against girls has persisted for millennia.

Daniel Hernandez, a rapper with a criminal record that includes a felony involving a minor, a history of shootings, alleged gang ties, and domestic-violence accusations, is the father of a 12-year-old daughter with former partner Sara Molina and a 7-year-old daughter with Marlayna M. Aliday Alter, his girlfriend of about a year, announced her pregnancy on Instagram in April, writing that her world was about to change.

Hernandez presented his stance as a personal preference, indicating he would seek an abortion should the unborn child be female and asserting that his girlfriend agreed with his view. The livestream hosts—Adin Ross, Clavicular and N3ON—reacted with startled laughter, signaling surprise. Alter’s recorded response was a nervous laugh when asked about the baby’s gender, followed by the later confirmation that the child is a boy.
