Tekashi 6ix9ine may be a free man in just a matter of hours after the judge in his criminal case ordered his intention to let the rapper finish the rest of his sentence on house arrest.

According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Tekashi 69’s lawyer filed a letter with the court, explaining that the Federal Bureau of Prison’s in New York was denying the rapper’s request to be released. But, not because they think he should remain locked up, just they have no jurisdiction to release him.

So, in shocking response, the judge in Tekashi’s case ordered prosecutors to respond by 5:00 pm today, or he will RELEASE the ‘Gummo’ rapper!
