Tekashi 6ix9ine Can Release Music in Home Confinement, Could Be Back on Social Media Says Lawyer

The rapper was released from the Queens Detention Facility, where he was being held, to home confinement. He’ll spend the final four months of his 24-month sentence at home because his asthma puts him in a high-risk group of contracting COVID-19 in prison.

Just a few hours after his release, that rapper's attorney Dawn Florio was contacted.

Now that Tekashi 6ix9ine is no longer beyond bars, people have a lot of questions about what’s next for the rapper. But now one thing is more clear: there will be more music soon.

When asked if the terms of his home confinement included the ability to put out new tracks, Florio was unequivocal.

“Yes, he can release music,” she said. 

Florio confirmed that earlier reports about 6ix9ine re-upping with his label 10K Projects were true. 

“What he’s gonna do is, he already has that advance for 10K Projects,” Florio explained. “So he has to put out a Spanish album and an English album. So that’s what he’s going to be working on.” 

The lawyer said she was speaking with 6ix9ine’s entertainment attorney Bob Celestin, planning the rapper’s return.

“We were actually trying to figure out the logistics of how that’s going to work,” she revealed. “It’s more difficult because of the coronavirus because you don’t want strange people coming in to set up a studio where he’s going to be.” 

But they don’t want to wait too long to build that studio. Florio said that her conversation with Celestin made clear that new 6ix9ine music has to come soon. 

“He already got an advance for all those millions of dollars,” she recalled the entertainment lawyer explaining to her. “So he's gotta put out those two albums as soon as possible. I can confirm that from Bob.”

She was also asked if the rapper will be back on social media.

“So far, I haven’t seen any restrictions about him not being able to go on social media,” she said. But there is a condition.

“Obviously, it has to be in good taste. No more trolling,” Florio laughed.
