Tech 9 was reportedly arrested on January 5 after the daughter of a woman he was dating claims he asked her to strip for him and masturbated in front of her, according to court reports.

The famed battle rapper — who died suddenly March 24 — was scheduled to be arraigned on the charges the day after his death, Philly Mag reported Tuesday.

Mickens death, which is being investigated, caused some confusion in the hip-hop world because his stage name is similar to that of rap star Tech N9ne.

Tech N9ne issued a statement via video following news of Tech 9’s death.

“Condolences to the battle rapper Tech 9,” he said. “He’s been battling for years. I’ve observed many a battle of his. Condolences to the family … My family is calling my phone wondering if I’m OK. I’m OK. My condolences go out to the battle rapper, Tech 9. Philly, stand up.”

A candlelight vigil was held last Tuesday for Mickens near his home.
