Tekashi 6ix9ine Reportedly Transferred to Prison for “Witnesses Who Cooperate with the Feds”

Tekashi 6ix9ine has reportedly been transferred to a new prison that, per TMZ, is typically used for witnesses who “cooperate with the feds.”  Sources tell TMZ that Tekashi was transferred Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, and that he “specifically asked to be in a unit away from the Crips and the Bloods.”  Meanwhile, his attorney Lance Lazzaro reportedly declined to comment on whether the rapper is trying to cut a deal in return for—as TMZ delicately puts it—”spilling the beans on others in his racketeering case.” Lazzaro claims the transfer was due to security reasons, and that Tekashi was getting threats at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, where he was originally being held.   Reminder, Tekashi is reportedly facing life in prison after criminal charges were filed against him in federal court on November 19. He was indicted on six counts, including “conspiracy with others to commit racketeering, discharging a firearm while committing a crime, committing a crime of violence in aid of racketeering, assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm, and committing a crime in aid of racketeering.”
