Tekashi 6ix9ine has signed a new record deal with his old label worth a reported $10 million while in prison, after testifying against former members of the notorious Nine Trey Bloods gang.
According to TMZ, the controversial rapper – born Daniel Hernandez – signed with 10K Projects for a two-album deal, one in English and one in Spanish.
He now has to secure his release from prison. As part of his plea deal, Hernandez was looking at a January sentencing, but his representatives have reportedly moved the sentencing date to 18 December.
Of course, 6ix9ine agreed to snitch in order to greatly reduce the initial 47-year minimum sentence he was facing when he was busted last year ... but it doesn't mean he'll be free right away.
The reported best-case scenario for Tekashi69 is getting credit for time served and being released sometime in 2020 .... but it's far from a safe bet to say he'll have no trouble getting back to the studio.
Hernandez previously faced 47 years in prison on an array of racketeering charges that stemmed from his involvement with the Nine Trey Bloods. He has been behind bars since his arrest in November 2018.
