Tekashi 6ix9ine's Official Prison Release Date Revealed

Tekashi 6ix9ine is coming home this summer!

According to the Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator, per Complex, the 23-year-old rapper, born Daniel Hernandez, will be released on August 2, 2020. The news comes nearly two months after Tekashi's lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, predicted that 6ix9ine would be released by the end of July 2020. (He was extremely close)

As fans know, 6ix9ine was sentenced to 24 months in prison with five years of supervised release in December. While the government requested that the "FEFE" rapper be released for time served given his lengthy testimony against his former gang and gang members, the presiding judge in 6ix9ine's case, Paul Engelmayer, said the rapper's 13 months in federal custody was not enough.

Following the judge's ruling, Tekashi's lawyer filed docs, obtained by TMZ, asking the judge to allow 6ix9ine to serve the rest of his 24-month sentence under home confinement or in a community correctional facility since 6ix9ine claimed his safety was seriously at risk because he ratted on his former gang. However, the judge denied the request in January.

The "BEBE" rapper originally faced 37 years behind bars after entering a guilty plea for nine federal charges, including multiple counts of racketeering, conspiracy, firearms offenses, and narcotics trafficking. However, he was rewarded for what the judge called his "courageous" testimony, as the judge noted during sentencing that 6ix9ine's "cooperation enabled the government to take down a violent gang, beyond the six including you named in the initial indictment."
