Tekashi 6ix9ine freed
“Fefe” rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has been released from a New York prison several month early due to health concerns from the coronavirus pandemic. E! News reports the 23-year-old NYC hip-hop star, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was granted a compassionate release Wednesday and placed under house arrest for four months. He was sentenced to two years in December, with credit for 13 months he had already served behind bars, for racketeering amid his involvement in the Bloods gang. Lawyers said Hernandez has not shown symptoms of COVID-19, but suffers from asthma and had been reportedly “complaining to prison officials this week of shortness of breath.” Mayor Bill de Blasio said last week he would release more than 1,000 prison inmates with misdemeanors or non-violent felonies to help slow the spread of coronavirus within correctional facilities like Rikers Island.
