Judge Paul Engelmayer has reportedly denied Tekashi 6ix9ine’s petition to finish his sentence at home. According to TMZ, Engelmayer said his time in prison is “necessary in this case … [to] reflect the seriousness of his crimes.”
He added granting 6ix9ine’s request would “eliminate the remaining prison component of his sentence in favor of lesser forms of confinement.” One of 6ix9ine’s attorneys, Dawn Florio, says they’re appealing the decision.
The embattled rapper was sentenced in his racketeering case last month. With time served, he’s expected to be out in November 2020. Due to the 85 Percent rule, he could be out as early as July 2020.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has been behind the four walls of a New York City prison for the past 14 months. Now, it appears his patience is running out. According to TMZ, 6ix9ine’s attorney Lance Lazzaro has filed paperwork asking a judge to allow the embattled rapper to finish out his sentence at home.
The Brooklynite claims his safety is “seriously at risk” due to his role as a government witness. During the trial against alleged Nine Trey Gangster Bloods Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and Anthony “Harv” Ellison last October, he ratted out several key players of the gang. He says the private jail where he’s currently serving his sentence is full of Bloods.
6ix9ine was finally sentenced in his racketeering case last month. Judge Paul Engelmayer read the 6ix9ine the riot act for nearly an hour but gave him credit for his cooperation. He was ultimately given an additional 24 months in prison with five years supervised release, 300 hours of community service and a $35,000 fine. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
With time served, he’s expected to be out in November 2020. However, due to the 85 Percent rule, he could be out as early as July 2020. The 85 Percent Rule means after an offender has served at least 85 percent of their sentence and maintained a good institutional record while behind bars, they can be released for a period of post-release supervision.
“We are a little disappointed, we were expecting time served because that is what the parole board recommended, but it was in the judge’s hands,” Lazzaro told Hollywood Life shortly after the hearing. “Daniel [Hernandez] will have to serve another seven months and 12 days because the time he’s already served will count towards his sentence.
“The best thing to come out of today was closure, he knows he’ll be home in July and then he can focus on rebuilding his career and relationships.”
6ix9ine reportedly signed a $10 million record contract for two albums while behind bars. It’s unclear if that offer will still stand following his release.
Well you shouldn’t have snitched…Now either way,Bloods gonna getcha lol. Pretty sure there’s a bounty on him already…that’d usually home it works. Bet he wished he took witness protection now lol… Ain’t looking good for Danny Boy….The pipes are calling for him.

Of this we’re the ‘90s, this rainbow haired bitch would be dead by now. Gangs are weak and worthless now. They use to watch out for the neighborhood.
If* were*
True! I like gangs murder and drug dealing in neighborhoods! That’s sooo wholesome! Sarcasm. Your comment is fucking stupid. I hope you get robbed.
Nobody’s safe if dude comes home so now ppl gotta watch the backs cause they releasing another rat back to society.
Hey Adrian captain blood here , we have a real backed up schedule, We still are waiting on tekashi to drop the soap And we have it on good authority he just bought some slippery as hell dove , so any day now , we have to wait of course till he uses it about 100 times then drops it then find someone homosexual but homosexual in our gang and hopefully after all the logistics we’ll make sure he gets it in the pooper. Sorry for the delay And thanks for being patient.
Fuck you motherfuckers. Piece of shit son of a bitch. Mother fuckers. All of you woulda snitched too you mother fuckers.
Hey it’s the gay dude who obsessed with Pac again..lol…now he’s bashing SnitchNine lol but probably secretly a male groupie of his too…you rainbow hair fairy…ROFL
WTF is a piece of shir..lol…how do you misspell with autocorrect… you’re an overachiever
“So angry, So gay….Damn that, Mumble Rap Music”
rainbow bite aint safe anywhere. Now they know right where his ass is. Hope he changes his appearance. Pretty easy to spot a little pony that bright in a crowd. HIs gimmick is off now what will he do.
Probably safer in jail after.
Either way… Bounty Hunters gon get him eventually…. shouldn’t have snitched and just stay a normal person instead of lying and pretending to be gangsta when you’re not about that life…You reap what you sow.
It seems that the nine treys have bigger fish to fry than going after tekashi. The processes which allowed him to get thru likely have allowed others in who would turn on them. I’d be much more concerned with fixing that than trying to off a high profile target
lets be real… NONE OF YOU CARE, me included. 69 did what he had to do. The gov was already building a case against these fools, it wasn’t like they based their entire case on 69 snitching, he just corroborated what these fools already mentioned on recording. Point Blank= dumb gangsters are their own WORSE enemy. Whatever happened to moving in silence?
His time on the planet is running out.
