Whew! 2020 has been wild so far, Roomies. But it looks like things may have just gotten more interesting. Previously, Tekashi 6ix9ine asked the judge in his case for early release due to the Coronavirus, and while he was denied, it looks like he’s just made another plea for himself!
Today is April fools day, but it doesn’t look like this one’s a joke, Roommates. According to multiple sources, Tekashi could be released “any day now” pending a decision to be made by the government by 5pm today.

On #6ix9ine, for those (understandably) asking if Inner City Press’ 1st report on @SDNYLIVE order signaling 69’s release unless US convinces him he can’t is an April Fool’s joke, here’s Judge Engelmayer’s order. It’s dated April 1, but I doubt he’d joke on PACER pic.twitter.com/3CCVRYgg6o

As we previously reported, Tekashi’s lawyer reached out to the judge in his case asking for an early release, and he used the coronavirus as his excuse. And while Judge Engelmayer was unable to grant his request, it looks like things have turned in his favor.
Stay with us for updates, Roomies, because 6ix9ine could be a free man!
