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.
6ix9ine Asks Permission To Film New Music Videos
Tekashi 6ix9ine requests permission from the judge to film new music videos in his backyard.
Tekashi 6ix9ine has been out of prison for several weeks and, already, he’s looking to get his music career back on the right track. Without any time to waste, the Brooklyn rapper has his eyes set on taking over the business again but, in order to do so, he needs the judge’s permission.
As reported by Complex, Tekashi 6ix9ine’s legal counsel has officially asked Judge Paul Engelmayer for permission to film music videos in his backyard.
“I am writing today only to request the Court’s approval to permit Mr. Hernandez to spend up to two hours in his backyard, once a week, for employment purposes only,” writes Lance Lazarro, one of the attorneys working for 6ix9ine. “He is looking to record music videos in his backyard. Probation is aware and has no objection to this request.”

The rapper is currently serving the remainder of his sentence in home confinement because of the COVID-19 outbreak. He has already been granted permission to record music out of his home studio, but he would require a written note from the judge to film music videos in his backyard.
6ix9ine is currently recording two albums: one English and one Spanish. He signed a new multi-million-dollar record deal when he was still behind bars.

6ix9ine Co-Defendant Denied Early Release Despite COVID-19 Worries
Denard “Drama” Butler, a defendant in the 6ix9ine case, was denied an early release even though he has health issues that make him vulnerable to COVID-19.
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.
Juelz Santana’s Wife Kimbella Launches Petition For His Release
Juelz Santana is expected to be released in early 2021 but Kimbella wants him to return home before then.
The Coronavirus pandemic has impacted just about every industry in the world, including the prison industry. Inmates have been pleading for better conditions, even before Coronavirus, but in the wake of the pandemic, there’s been an even larger discussion surrounding the unsanitary conditions many of these inmates are living in and the public health threat that it poses.
Juelz Santana‘s currently behind bars until February 2021 but his wife, Kimbella, is urging the public and officials to release Juelz Santana on home confinement. She recently launched a petition calling for officials to release him.
“#FreeJuelzSantana AKA Laron James needs to be freed during this pandemic to be with his family. He is currently on lockdown for 2 weeks because of the Covid 19 virus outbreak. He has served 13 months at FCI Petersburg and should be allowed to serve the rest of his sentence on home confinement. BOP & Honorable Judge Chesler can make this happen for Laron. He is a good husband, father, son, brother, friend and has a positive media influence as a legendary rap artist. We need you to sign this petition to get Laron James aka Juelz Santana home.”
The petition is currently at 3,155 signatures out of 5,000 and the numbers are climbing quite rapidly. You can sign the petition to support Juelz Santana here. We’ll keep you posted on any updates.
6ix9ine’s Upcoming Albums Detailed
Tekashi 6ix9ine is reportedly allowed to record new music while on home confinement, and he is already working on two new albums.
It hasn’t even been twenty-four hours since Tekashi 6ix9ine was released from prison but, already, he’s plotting out his next moves.
During the time he was locked up, it was revealed that the controversial Brooklyn rapper had signed a new multi-million deal with 10K Projects and, now that he has been granted permission to serve the remainder of his sentence on home confinement, he is getting to work on a couple of new albums.
Hours after news broke of 6ix9ine’s release, Complex spoke to the rapper’s lawyer Dawn Florio, who confirmed that he is allowed to work on new music while on house arrest. He also may be returning to social media soon.

“What he’s gonna do is, he already has that advance for 10K Projects,” says Florio. “So he has to put out a Spanish album and an English album. So that’s what he’s going to be working on.”
Because he already has the advance from the label, 6ix9ine will reportedly need to deliver both albums promptly, which Florio echoed.
“He already got an advance for all those millions of dollars. So he’s gotta put out those two albums as soon as possible,” she added.
While the Brooklyn native will likely not be restricted from using social media, his page will be monitored heavily and trolling will not be tolerated. His posts must be in good taste.

Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Request For Early Release Amid Coronavirus Denied
Tekashi 6ix9ine’s request to be released early from prison and serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest amid coronavirus has been denied.
Tekashi 6ix9ine‘s plea to the court to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest to reduce his chances of contracting coronavirus has been denied by the judge, but there may be another way that the rapper can be released early. On Monday, we reported that 6ix9ine was fearing for his life behind bars, as the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 continues to rise within the New York prison system. According to his lawyer, Lance Lazarro, the rapper possesses a higher risk of contracting the virus, as he has multiple pre-existing conditions that render him more vulnerable to becoming infected. Last Halloween, 6ix9ine was diagnosed with bronchitis and sinusitis, which ultimately led him to be hospitalized.

Because of his client’s medical conditions, Lazarro implored Judge Paul Engelmeyer that 6ix9ine, who is set to be released in August, be granted early release from prison under the condition that he serve the remainder of his sentence under house request. In the letter sent to Judge Engelmeyer, Lazarro also noted that 6ix9ine has been experiencing shortness of breath—one of the primary symptoms of coronavirus—and that the prison facility’s doctor had recommended he be treated at a hospital, only for the warden to deny him that freedom.

Despite Lazarro’s efforts, though, Judge Engelmeyer has denied the request. According to legal documents, the court actually lacks the legal authority to grant the request in the first place. However, while Judge Engelmeyer may not be able to do 6ix9ine any favours, he suggested that Lazarro instead file the request with the Bureau of Prisons. Engelmeyer insisted that, at the time of sentencing, he would have directed that 6ix9ine’s final four months be served in home confinement had he known back then that a global pandemic would ensue to which 6ix9ine’s medical conditions would make him particularly vulnerable. According to TMZ, Lazarro believes that Judge Engelmeyer’s sympathetic response “is a strong recommendation to the Bureau of Prisons to release him immediately,” and thus plans to file the request with the BOP promptly. We’ll keep you updated on the BOP’s decision.
