The return of Tekashi 6ix9ine has been eventful to some while others are likely already sick of the antics. But no matter where you stand on the rainbow-haired rapper, it’s quite apparent that he has no intention of letting go of his antagonizing ways. In the past few weeks, he’s beefed with Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg, Meek Mill, and the list goes on but at the end of the day, he got a response out of each one of them, like he set out to do in the first place.

Though things with Meek have died down since the release of “GOOBA,” 6ix9ine seemingly thinks he has bragging rights for catching a RICO case. In fact, it appears that he thinks Meek’s legal situation that loomed over the entirety of his adult life is something that’s rather funny. A  clip from a Casanova interview discussing 6ix9ine’s case resurfaced this weekend which, like the Charlamagne clip, found its way onto 6ix9ine’s timeline. “N***as talk all that shit. I’m talkin’ ’bout all these rappers and all these fake gangsters, man. N***a, you go to the feds for a fuckin’ RICO and they offer you 20 years and you’re a millionaire, you’re telling,” Cas said in the clip.

“@casanova_2x Name the rapper that rapped about the RICCO and went to jail for bike tricks,” 6ix9ine captioned the post in reference to Meek’s probation. 

Check out the post below. We’ll keep you updated with any responses. 

Tekashi 6ix9ine's been able to maintain a low profile since his release from prison a few weeks back. Well, that is, until recently. With the self-proclaimed King Of New York out on home confinement, he doesn't have many options to hide, except for his own home, but apparently, even that was more difficult for him than one can imagine.

Over the past few hours, 6ix9ine's been boasting his recently acquired chains and the stacks of cash he came home, but clearly, he forgot the rainbow head of his can be spotted from miles away. Posted on his balcony, the rapper's seen listening to Spanish music as he flashes cash and the new Shark piece he copped from Jimmy Boi. 

Clearly, his efforts in remaining low-key following his release from prison haven't worked out well for him. It appears that his neighbors aren't hiding under a rock with one of them seemingly sharing his location. A video's gone viral on Twitter of a girl claiming that she lives across from 6ix9ine and spotted him on his back deck flexing for the 'Gram. TMZ reports that the girl also caught the rapper's address. Rumors have circulated that he's in Long Island, though there isn't any information verifying that claim.

The rapper made his big return to social media yesterday with the release of his new single "GOOBA." Are you feeling the new track? Sound off in the comments. 

Though 6ix9ine essentially received a slap on the wrist after cooperating with authorities in his federal case, he was released last week due to the coronavirus pandemic. 6ix9ine is asthmatic, making him a vulnerable inmate to the spread of COVID-19. However, one of the rapper’s co-defendants in the case who suffers from similar health issues was denied being placed in home confinement.

Complex reports Judge Paul Engelmayer has turned down Denard “Drama” Butler’s motion to be released early from prison to complete the remainder of his sentence on home confinement. Butler was sentenced to 60 months in prison for his involvement as a lower-tier member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. Butler suffers from asthma and bradycardia which also makes him just as much of a vulnerable inmate as 6ix9ine. 

“COVID-19 presents a heightened risk for incarcerated defendants like Butler with respiratory and cardiac ailments,” Judge Engelmayer wrote, acknowledging that the crowded space inside of the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention center “present[s] an outsize risk that the COVID-19 contagion, once it gains entry, will spread.”

Ultimately, Judge Engelmayer decided against an early release due to Butler’s prior convictions that have shown a pattern of “violent and dangerous conduct.

“While the prospect of contracting COVID-19 undeniably presents a serious risk to Butler’s health, his release some 45 months early at least equally exposes the community to a serious risk that he would resume violence,” Engelmayer concluded.

Tekashi 6ix9ineis officially a free man. The rapper was released from prison earlier this week after a judge approved of a compassionate release. This has been met with both negative and positive reactions — hip-hop has disowned the rapper for cooperating with the feds while others are ecstatic that he’d be back on social media to entertain the masses as everyone practices social distancing.

There has, however, been discussion whether there would be a social media ban after he was released to complete the remainder of his sentence on home confinement. Nothing in his papers stated that he would be restricted from using social media and it appears that he’s already back on IG. TheShadeRoom recently reported on the mayor of Los Angeles’ offering snitches rewards for reporting businesses violating the city’s stay-at-home order. Fully self-aware of the stigma that surrounds snitching, it appears that he’s embraced it and, as he would put it, is letting his nuts hang. The rapper simply slid into the comments, writing, “Coming to the rescue.”

With 6ix9ine’s recent release from prison, it appears that he’s already back in his trolling ways. His lawyer previously revealed that the rapper is plotting on the release of two new albums. One album being entirely sung in Spanish while the other will be hip-hop. Either way, it appears that he’s already marked his return to the ‘Gram. 

Kooda B, an associate of 6ix9ine who had his own part to play in the unraveling of Tekashi and the rapper’s highly-publicized trial, was granted release from prison yesterday because he was deemed a high-risk for the COVID-19 virus.

We reported yesterday how Judge Engelmayer granted Kintea “Kooda B” McKenzie’s temporary release from the MCCC, following a letter from Kooda’s lawyer, Lisa Scolari. However, it looks like Engelmayer is now questioning his decision.

Following his release, Kooda B went on Instagram Live to celebrate, and apparently, Engelmayer caught wind of the video. As reported by Complex, the judge wrote in response, that the video “appears to reflect Mr. McKenzie partying in very close proximity to numerous others.” This is a problem, considering “that his high-risk medical condition required his separation from others to minimize the risk of his contracting COVID-19.”

The judge continued, “[T]he conduct depicted on the video suggests a complete lack of concern by Mr. McKenzie for avoidance of contagion of himself and others.” Not only this, but Kooda is potentially celebrating with gang members in the video in question, which means it “may reflect one or more violation(s) of the defendant’s terms of temporary release.” 

Judge Engelmayer is demanding that Kooda B’s attorney, Lisa Scolari, and the government send him letters by 5 PM on Friday to explain their side of the story. We’ll keep you posted on any new developments in Kooda B’s situation.

In the meantime, we await the possible release of 6ix9ine.

Though 6ix9ine managed to dodge a bullet when he was sentenced to two years with time served earlier this year, it appears that COVID-19 might actually mean that he's out as early as this evening. According to Inner City Press, the U.S. District Attorney has filed documents saying that there aren't any objections to releasing the rapper early due to the potential threat of the COVID-19 outbreak.

"In light of the analysis under Section 3553(a) detailed during the defendant's sentencing and the Court's March 25 Order, in the event the court finds 'extraordinary and compelling reasons' presented by the defendant's medical condition, placing him at high risk during the COVID-19 outbreak, the Government does not oppose the defendant's motion for compassionate release," U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman wrote in a document filed to court.

The Bureau Of Prisons denied the rapper's initial request for an early release due to the risk of COVID-19. However, a new update from earlier today revealed that because he's not in their custody, they wouldn't be able to grant him a compassionate release. With that decision being placed in the hands of the government, it appears that 6ix9ine might very well be a free man later this evening. We're currently waiting on the judge's the final decision. 

6ix9ine initially argued that because he suffers from asthma, he should be released earlier from prison. Though it's possible he's released on house arrest, there's a good chance that he won't be back on social media until his sentence is actually completed. 

The other day, we reported on how, like many people locked up right now, Kooda B was asking the judge to grant his release from prison. Kooda B is a co-defendant in Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s trial, he plead guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering when the charges first started to rain down on 6ix9ine in summer of 2019.

In a letter to Judge Engelmayer, Kooda B’s lawyer, Lisa Scolari, asked that her client be released on the same $300,000 bond that he posted last year, because he suffers from asthma which puts him in a precarious position with COVID-19. Scolari explained to the judge that Kooda B requires an inhaler for his shortness of breath, and is considered “high risk” for the Coronavirus. “He has needed to use the inhaler at least once in the last month,” she wrote, going on to explain: “They are overcrowded, making it impossible to enforce the social distancing necessary to prevent spread of the virus. Inmates live in close quarters, share facilities such as sinks and showers. The MCC also has shortages of soap and disinfectants.”

Initially, we reported on how this request was opposed– but it looks like the judge actually proved amenable to the request in the end, and Kooda B has been granted a temporary release.

As confirmed yesterday afternoon, the Judge reportedly said that there are at least four other inmates in the same facility as Kooda who have contracted the disease, and because of Kooda’s asthma, the MCC has agreed with the “high risk” label.

Kooda B, an associate of 6ix9ine that was arrested in connection to the Nine Trey case, is asking the judge to allow him to post bond so he can be released from jail due to the rising concern of Coronavirus. According to Complex, his attorney Lisa Scolari has asked that her client be released on the same $300K bond that he posted last year because he’s suffering from asthma, putting him in a higher risk of contracting the virus. 

Scolari told the judge that he was provided with a albuterol inhaler upon his entry into the prison facilities “to address incidents of shortness of breath.” She added, “He has needed to use the inhaler at least once in the last month.” Pointing to the “inherently unsafe” prison conditions at this point, she argued, “They are overcrowded, making it impossible to enforce the social distancing necessary to prevent spread of the virus. Inmates live in close quarters, share facilities such as sinks and showers. The MCC also has shortages of soap and disinfectants.”

Unfortunately, the government has opposed this request. They said Kooda B’s “reliance on the current health crisis to secure his release—post-conviction and less than three months from sentencing—is unfounded and should be denied.” They also downplayed his severity of his health conditions, claiming he “has a minor form of asthma.”

Ever since his arrest as part of the Nine Tret Bloods gang takedown in Brooklyn, New York, Tekashi 6ix9ine has admitted to cooperating with the feds in order to potentially receive a lightened sentence. Although he hoped to come home last winter, the rainbow-haired rapper ended up getting sentenced to twenty-four months in prison. He was never expected to spend the entire time behind bars though and, as suspected, his release will be much earlier than initially believed.

Yesterday, it was reported that 6ix9ine would come home on August 2, requiring military-level protection on a permanent basis. The rapper will be spending millions of dollars on security every year, moving out of Brooklyn and possibly setting up a bunker-style home where he can rest easily at night. Many of his critics and fans were confused as to why he wouldn’t actually be spending the full two years in prison and, according to one of his legal representatives, it has to do with his snitching.

“The reason why he’s getting released early is because he’s the perfect model prisoner,” said Dawn Florio, one of 6ix9ine’s representatives, according to Variety.

The recording artist, born Daniel Hernandez, was previously denied a chance to serve the remainder of his sentence at home. He has expressed regret for ever getting involved with the Nine Trey Bloods and has already signed a record deal for when he becomes a free man.

It appears as though Tekashi 6ix9ine will be a free man this summer, according to Complex and the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator website. The rapper’s attorney, Lance Lazarro, stated that Tekashi 6ix9ne would be out of prison this summer after wrapping up his 24-month prison sentence. Lazarro initially predicted the rapper’s release would arrive at the end of July and he was nearly correct. 6ix9ine will be released from prison on Aug. 2nd with Lazarro later confirming this date.

There have been rumors of his plans following his release from prison which apparently include getting back into the rap game. Apparently, the self-proclaimed “King Of New York” will be leaving the city following his prison stint to a secretive location that he plans to surround with security guards. We’ll see if that ends up actually working out for him, especially since he does plan to resume his rap career.

Discussions have taken place on who would actually take on the job of becoming 6ix9ine’s personal security guard especially since he testified against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. However, it turns out 6ix9ine’s original manager will be the person who ends up working as the rapper’s full-time security guard. We’ll keep you posted on any more details surrounding 6ix9ine’s release.

Do you think he’ll be able to reclaim his place in hip-hop after his release? Sound off in the comments.
