He could serve the rest of his sentence at home Tekashi 6ix9ine will reportedly be released from prison today after requesting that he returns home to avoid contracting coronavirus while behind bars.
The rapper, real name Daniel Hernandez, is currently serving a 24-month prison sentence in New York after pleading guilty to nine charges including conspiracy to murder and armed robbery.
He was set to be released in August 2020 because he had already served 13 months of his two-year sentence at the time of sentencing.
However, it is now likely that a judge will accept an appeal to free the rapper from an upstate penitentiary as cases of COVID-19 rise above 84,000 in New York, with 2,200 deaths recorded so far.
