Tekashi 6ix9ine is about to be a free man. According to TMZ, Judge Paul A. Engelmayer granted his request to be removed from the Queens Detention Facility over coronavirus concerns. The decision is classified as a “compassionate release” and effective immediately.
While the embattled rapper will be allowed to serve the remainder of his sentence in the comfort of his home, he’ll be on supervised release. During his first four months, he’s required to wear a GPS monitor and must remain at a pre-approved address.
The judge’s order reportedly states he can only leave if he needs to “seek necessary medical treatment or visit his attorney,” all of which must be pre-approved by his probation department.
In December 2019, 6ix9ine was sentenced to 24 months with time served. He was expected to be released on August 2.

Tekashi 6ix9ine could be out of prison any moment now due to coronavirus concerns. According to Page Six, the embattled rapper (real name Daniel Hernandez) could be released as early 5 p.m. Wednesday (April 1) if the Manhattan federal court judge overseeing his case agrees.
In a letter sent out Wednesday, Judge Paul Engelmayer wrote, “The parties are advised that, provided that the Court has legal authority to grant the relief requested by defense counsel, the Court intends to do so.” He demanded an answer by 5 p.m. EST.
6ix9ine, who has asthma, is currently being held at the Queens Detention Facility, a private prison run by the GEO group.
6ix9ine’s legal team has been attempting to get him released for weeks as the coronavirus pandemic continues its rampage. Although Engelmayer was sympathetic to his plight, he initially shot down attorney Lance Lazzaro’s request.
“At the time of sentencing, however, the Court did not know and could not have known that the final four months of Mr. Hernandez’s sentence would be served at a time of a worldwide pandemic to which persons with asthma, like Mr. Hernandez, have heightened vulnerability,” Engelmayer wrote in a letter. “Had the Court known that sentencing Mr. Hernandez to serve the final four months of his term in a federal prison would have exposed him to a heightened health risk, the Court would have directed that these four months be served instead in home confinement.”
The Brooklyn native appeared in court last December where he was sentenced to 24 months in prison with time served. He was expected to be released on August 2 due to the 85 Percent Rule. But as the coronavirus pandemic grows increasingly more serious, things have evidently changed.
I’m calling it now, Out by 5pm dead by dawn.
Nothing will happen cause you ghetto dirtbags are not real gangsters.
Glad you took took a break from blowing your boyfriend’s boyfriend to get stuck in my replies. Don’t distract people from the fact that you go to jail for the shower gangbangs.
Further proof that you live in a fantasy land. And are apparently obsessed with gay sex. You have nothing but dick on your mind and you somehow think you are insulting me when really you are just revealing the content of your “brain”.
If hes obsessed with gay sex for that one comment than you’re obsessed black ppl for living ur life tryna “call them out for their fake gangsta”
Get a life bro
You are a groupie clown telling me to get a life you cant be serious.
Damn you are as pathetic as these ghetto dirt bags your obsessed with. We get it bro. You come online to vent because in real life these dumb ghetto people bully the shit out of you and you can’t do shit about it so you come online and play smart tough guy. You know if you played this in real life some dumb lowlife loser would make you his bitch.
White wanna be black Incels on this website sure to rejoice after hearing this ? is free
Why would anybody white want to be black? You make no sense. You are lashing out like your emotionally unstable hoodrat trashbag mother.
Chanel west coast, miley cyrus, jj redick, Eminem, yall copy our lingo, look what hip hop has done to the world, and the way we dress. There are eggo waffle commercials with the voice overs rapping, any girl calling themselves thick or pawgs, white people spend their days figuring ways to steal more from us look at hip hip. White people would love to be black, thats why you keep tanning ur skin. Nobody wants to be like u pail uncoordinated fuckin devils! look at what that fat, yellow, crayon, has done to the country. He’s gonna kill a chunk of yall just on ignorance then hes gonna kill more of yall when u go to war with Iran. Your on here also, a site that premotes black culture, why r u here? Go back to fox news.
First off you’re delusional lol. It’s not like blacks try to bleach their skin to try look white and look like idiots. Look how bad Jamaica and the continent of Africa is with skin bleaching. Ok you listed a few celebrities with mental health problems who appropriate “black culture” which the majority of your own people are cool with lol. How much shit do you use everyday that was invented by a white man or wearing European designed clothes smh. Always appropriating Italian mafioso culture too smh. So funny how every second one of you clowns calling yourself a “gangster” because you stand on shitty corner and close your eyes when you shoot a gun because you’re scared. I’m Albanian and we have real gangsters in the US, Albania and world wide. We’re not retarded enough to kill each other over a colour hahaha. No white man I know would ever want to be black. People associate being black with poverty…no thanks.
I guess u know white people everywhere! Its funny how your women are usually all over our dicks. I hope ur not appropriating Italians with white people, the Italians i know don’t call themselves white. I live in Canada, Italian woman love us, they love playing with our hair, i was told that from senior. To think that the people that are bleaching their skin out number out weighs white people tanning their skin, ur the idiot. U know what the white man created? Tanning beds! A device designed to burn ur skin to the point of cancer. Ur people are willing to get cancer to be like us. Who created those guns, hmmmmm…. white folks! Thats all they know, american culture is surrounded by guns, its not just blacks killing blacks. When a white kid goes and shoots his school up or kills his family, why dont u ever hear of white on white crime? Covid 19 is a crime against humanity killing every race and it seems every nation is trying to stop it, except the white man with the most power. Instead of giving proper guidance, he peddles false hopes about drugs he knows nothing about, robbing people of drugs they really need.
There are 100,000s of thousands of Albanians in Italy, I have family intermarried with Italians. I’ve lived in Italy. Italians are white Europeans. They consider themselves white you idiot. You don’t know anything about Italians. Trust a stupid North American to not have a clue about anything that exists outside their own city or state. Go to Naples and ask the locals if they are white or not lmao. The rest of your bizarre comment gave me a good laugh. You’re obviously some kind of frustrated interracial fantasist by the sound of things. With a serious chip on his shoulder about something haha.
Mafia rap, the type of dude to wear an Adidas track suit and think he hard. Dude smoked cigs he stole from his grandmother and thinks he does “drugs”
Bro stop. Mafia RAPS. Hmm I wonder what raps are? Oh yea it’s that music created by black people. And lol that mafioso rap isnt even relevant now. Cartel rap and just plain rapping about their own home town crew is more in.
U sound like an absolute dweeb.
Italians arent white at least the southern italians ancestors were rap.ed by n!66ers, thats why they not white and are dark mutt.s
U watched true romance a few too many times
You’re an absolute retard
You really are dumb, white people tan to be like a black man LMFAO, no f’tarf if anything a white man tans to be Italian complected if anything. Turns tan not black, and what man in the world tans?? None bc u turn blacker, get your mind right. From a man who brother owns a Tanner and makes damn good money, get real fool.
Is that you Rocco?
Yes!!!!!! Free 69 the king of NY! Hope Mel Matrix and all the other dipshits rot in prison like the lowlives they are. Daniel is a good kid and he atoned for his mistakes by putting these scum bags behind bars where they belong, he deserves his freedom. Today is a victory for society and proof that the criminal justice system does in fact work. The lowlifes have been locked up and a good kid that got involved with and exploited by some very bad people gets his second chance. Story book ending to this saga.
You’re just as disgusting as he is. *spits on you
You idolize low level gangsters and parasites on the community cause you are too pussy shoot guns and sell drugs yourself. Spitting is a female action, you behave like your lowlife trashbag emotionally unintelligent hoodrat mother.
But YOUR mother idolizes this dick tho. Shoo away you pest.
Is that supposed to be insulting? You sound like a 15 year old angry black girl. Your intelligence level is lower than your morals you negress.
You expect these women to be able to handle these youngsters, without the help of males? Both should receive a fair share of blame.
This guy in all likely hood was an informant because the case he caught, it was some pedophile shit. Think about what ur talking about.
Hahahaha stop trolling. You sucking this man dick so hard. You have to be this gayest troll ever. That rainbow haired fa99ot wanted to play gangster and they exposed him for being a little bitch who was only playing tough. Then they ran him for everything. His money his girl… everything. His only way out was to go snitch to the police to help him out of the mess he made playing gangster rapper. Fuck those low lives and fuck him too. Enjoy sucking off that rat. You groupie hoe.
He will go on to live a happy fruitful life maybe not in the spotlight but no one will ever touch him and everyday he is still roaming this earth shows the world how fake, under powered and unintelligent people in the hood are. All you have is words really you wont do nothin cause you cant you say you will cause intimidation is all you have to make yourself seem like you have some kind of pull in this world. Wake up! You ain’t shiiit!
Aaaaand neither are you. And you talk down on all these dummy’s in the hood because you feel safe behind a screen. But you would never dream of talking like that when one of those low lives are around cuz your a bitch.
Just like your doing right now?
Oh there is a big difference in my one response and all of your weirdo ass comments you leave calling people low lives and sucking Tekashi dick. Lmfao.
What a crybaby bish. what about all those other people who got asthma or respiratory issues? they getting released too? Na because they aint A celebrity snitch huh foh
Talk about being a crybaby. You wannabe hoodrats have no idea how dumb you sound do you?
Yes i want to be a hoodrat so bad. Boy your stupid you know that like seriously at wht point did what i said come out stupid that part where the part where he os being a crybaby and getting released due to the fact he is the poster child of being a snitch. Because once again your clearly stupid if what i said didnt make sense to you. But i get it maybe ill dumb it up for you guy snitch guy gets out thats no good
This guy has committed crimes. How about releasing the people who can afford or obtain bail and are innocent, why isn’t there any compassion for them? But niggaz dont care, I bet alot of yall own a pair of Jordan’s tho and u know which one r dropping next. Unbenouced to yall that u r actually funding a system designed to fuck u over. If u think that covid isn’t a population control thing u r out of ur minds. This virus will kill more black people than who knows anymore? Amerikkka!
The only reason covid 19 will kill more blacks is because more blacks are poor and cant afford healthcare. Healthcare should be public and not private but you ignorant Americans have all been brainwashed to think otherwise, AND you’re too far gone in your lobbyist system that you’ll never be able to fix it without tearing everything down and rebuilding the whole country. Your founding fathers are turning in their grave since you haven’t updated the constitution since they wrote it
Spoken like a true socialist. Let’s blame our founding fathers rather than the Democratic Party who keeps inner cities the way they are today.
LOL he didn’t blame no founding fathers
The dude couldn’t comprehend what i wrote and i don’t think there’s a reason to try to explain it to him further, it’ll go in one ear and out the other
Yes. Blame the Democrats. Blame the white man. Blame anyone other than people in your neighborhood who do nothing but sell drugs to other people in your neighborhood yet complain their is “no opportunity here.” For example.
Think the tin foil is a little tight this time buddy, chill out
If you’re in jail, is because you were tried and were found guilty. Maybe a flaw got an innocent person locked up, but that doesn’t mean you weren’t “found” guilty.
This gay little wet back troll better hide out in Mexico.
lol why? he’s definitely safer in the U.S, aint nobody gonna do him s**t here with all the security he got
April’s Fools day, tricks !
Imagine having asthma and being able to walk free from RICO crimes.. fucking system broken
It wasn’t like he was doing real RICO time anyway. They should kill the rat.
Chill bro ur a good white man i can tell by your other comments dont fall into this ghetto bullshit. Real gangsters are white everybody knows that except for these angry lil black boys who act like females. Tekashi is a rat but he ratted on a bunch of ghetto parasites who gives a fuck. He would never get a seat at a real gangster table so who cares u feel me?
Asthma is a get out jail free pass now huh. I guess Pill Cosby will be out by Easter now too.
Lmfao, gotta love that 69 tattoo on his forehead. He should have 420 put on the other side and be promoted to triple gangsta.
This is stupid, that kid is arguably much more safe in jail where he has his own room seperated from other inmates and people in general. But on a lighter note, if he gets out and catches it maybe we finally get rid of him for good. real catch 22 on this one
Da fuq? How does this have so many likes ..you do know prison have some of the worst conditions right? One person get corona best believe everyone will become contaminated. Lot of officers with corona in new york ..if this was survival and you had to make a choice during a crisis like this and chose prison..you my friend well tsk
you think he is just hanging out with General population? FUCK NO! He would have already been got. This is a celebrity, he is seperated from the prison masses. But hey like i mentioned above, got my fingers crossed he’ll catch it on the outside, call me a bad person or whatever but the world is better without him in it
Bro better have a plan in place to go and hide, FOREVER.
He’ll be good I bet not a single person touches him
I like thicc boys
Bloods waiting by the door right now lol
Hell, they ain’t even got to shoot him no more lol… just get a COVID-19 Positive person to cough or sneeze on him… lmao..smh.
Aw hell… The Skittle boi is loose again… Kill me now…
Jim Jo- I mean Individual One is going to kill him lol
TIME TO RECLAIM THE THRONE #SCUMGANGGG
Damn idk what’s more pathetic. The fact that Tekashi played gangster and turned snitch or that even after all that gay ass shit yal still rally behind him. If you’ve been waiting on this dudes music you a bitch. No argument.
Isn’t
So? Cuomo released a good handful of sex offenders and some with crimes against children all because of this bogus flu. Seems like a given that this fruit cake would be set free too.
Jim Jones crying right now
Tekashi > Bobby Shmurda
