Yesterday the news broke that Brooklyn rapper, Tekashi 6ix9ine, was granted early release from prison, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The news caused an uproar on social media, and everyone has an opinion on it, including Rowdy Rebel.
6ix9ine’s legal team has been very outspoken about his asthma, and how the virus would be detrimental for his health. According to the court order, “Mr. Hernandez does not pose a danger to the community. He will serve the first four months of supervised release on house arrest, and he’ll be forced to wear an ankle monitor at an address approved by his probation officer.”
The rapper was sentenced to 24 months in prison plus five years of supervised release for racketeering and firearms charges, back in December.

During a 2016 interview, Bobby proved his loyalty when asked why he took a plea deal. “I did it for Rowdy. They offered me five and offered Rowdy 12. They said the only way they’ll give him seven is if I took seven too. So, you know, I had to take one for the dawgs.”
The two could be released from prison as soon as December, 2020.
