Only a day after it was reported Tekashi 6ix9ine wouldn’t be granted bail for an assault charge, the polarizing Brooklyn rapper is reportedly leaving Rikers Island soon.
According to TMZ, 6ix9ne’s attorneys called for an emergency hearing to convince a judge to allow their client’s release. He must pay $150,000 to get out of the notorious New York jail. Upon his release, he must then surrender to Harris County, Texas authorities and pay another $5,000 bail.
6ix9ine was arrested on Wednesday (July 11) at the John F. Kennedy International Airport for an alleged assault on a 16-year-old boy at the Galleria Mall in Houston, Texas.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has reportedly been transferred to a high-security unit at Rikers Island known as the Contagious Disease Unit. As reported by TMZ, the intention is to keep the Brooklyn-bred rapper safe and in good health.
Law enforcement officials reportedly said 6ix9ine was relocated to a 140-cell section of the infamous New York jail, which is sequestered for inmates with illnesses. It’s also used for high-profile inmates who can’t be in general population — the category 6ix9ine falls under.
6ix9ine will remain in isolation until at least July 20 when he has his next court hearing. He’s only allowed out for one hour of recreation and his only human contact is with correctional officers.

Tekashi 6ix9ine evidently won’t be getting out of jail quite yet.
According to TMZ, lawyers for the rainbow colored-haired rapper were in court on Thursday (July 12) requesting bail for 6ix9ine, who was arrested earlier this week. But, a judge reportedly denied that request after deeming him a “flight risk.”
The arrest stems from an incident at Houston’s Galleria Mall in Texas, where 6ix9ine allegedly choked a 16-year-old boy.
During Thursday’s court hearing, he reportedly pleaded with the judge to let him out on bail, stating he had to take care of his family and had learned a valuable lesson.
6ix9ine was taken into police custody on Wednesday (July 11) at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York. He will remain in a New York jail until his hearing on July 20. He will then be extradited to Texas to face a judge.
The “Gummo” phenom just returned from a European tour, although he was denied entry into the U.K. and was unable to make his London and Manchester shows.
Although it’s unclear why he wasn’t allowed into the country, 6ix9ine has a long rap sheet, including a 2015 child sex crime. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
J Prince got pull like that? Lol
“Bring him to TEXAS!” – J.Prince
This week on scared straight…..
Rap phenom? Lol don’t make me fucking laugh, I was thinking more gay Disney pop phenom
How do you get involved with choking a kid? Moron.
Cant co-sign either side in this situation. The 16 year old kid ran up talking shit and got punked out then called the cops like a bitch. On the other hand 69 shoulda been smarter then to expose himself to the lawsuit which is undoubtedly coming next. Say what you want about 69 i dont have anything good to say about him either but this kid and his family are parasites.
All these gangsters chasing him around, and it’s a 16 yo nerd who took him down.
Kid is a genius and has done the world of hip hop an enormous favor.
Hilarious, also very true. Best comment so far.
Life without parole for being wck fake ass wantabe rapper
Tekashi wants to act like a super fake blood. Well if you want to act like a gangster then you going to be treated like a gangster. Gangsters go to jail and prison. This lame going to be in PC Protective Custody with all the snitches, homosexuals, rapists, child molesters and gang drop outs.
No bail AND extradition? Hope this idiot enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame.
Whatever happens in Texas he still has to face charges in NYC for driving on a suspended license and assaulting a cop (The assault on a charge sounds bogus, cop most likely lying. so what fuck tekashi) and hes on probation. so yea hes fucked he doing some time.
Them Texas “good old boy” judges sure live Latinos with face tattoos and rainbow colored hair. I’m sure he’ll be fine. Sarcasm. His probation judge in NYC is going to have to throw him in prison now. Hahahahaha
Wait till them Mexicans (orejones) get a hold of that fool they nearly got him in san antonio he ain’t going to b able to run to far ones he is in a tx jail
He’ll meet the gangs he has been dissing in jail. smh, straight food
