While hundreds of prisoners are being forced to carry out their sentences in the increasingly unsafe Rikers (along with hundreds of other correctional facilities around the country), it seems as though 6ix9ine could be given the privilege of serving the remainder of his sentence from home. According to XXL, the “Gummo” rapper could be released from prison any day now, as concern about the spread of Coronavirus has changed the judge’s mind about potentially releasing the rapper early.

6ix9ine was recently sentenced to 24 months, and with time-served, was expected to be in prison until August.

People on social media were quick to point out that the internet may soon be subjected to his insufferable online presence.
