Rapper Tekashi69 apparently, wants to serve the remainder of his prison sentence at home because he feels that he’s at risk behind bars.

The rapper’s lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, recently filed documents, seeking for the judge to allow Tekashi to serve the rest of his 24-month sentence under home confinement or in a community correctional facility, as TMZ reports.

Tekashi claims that his safety is at risk because he shared information on the Nine Trey Gangster Bloods with the feds, and he says that the jail he’s currently in has a ton of Blood gang members.As we previously reported, Tekashi was sentenced in December of 2019 to 24 months in the rapper’s racketeering case. He’s served almost 14 months so far, and the rapper could be released by August 2020.
