6ix9ine Reportedly Released From Prison After Violating Probation

by

Few rappers have had such extensively covered and explosive run-ins with the law as 6ix9ine, and now he has a chance to right that wrong once and for all. For those unaware, he was recently in jail for violating the terms of his parole, which stems from his original implication in the RICO case against the Nine Trey Bloods gang. The New York artist is reportedly now free again as of Thursday (December 12), but he has a lot of conditions to meet if he wants to stay out. He’s got a probation extension of a year, a home-stay order and electronic monitoring, the requirement of a full-time and lawful job, home address restrictions, and many other terms.

At least 6ix9ine is out and can begin work on his reformation without the pressures of prison, as his stay in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn came with its own controversies. Of course, this is sadly nothing new for him, as he always pops up in the headlines for some legal trouble. Maybe this will be the final straw in that long-running series, especially as career opportunities seem slim.

6ix9ine Is Reportedly Out Of Prison

Furthermore, as part of 6ix9ine’s new probation conditions, it seems like he will have to step away from the mic. Since one of these terms requires a full-time and lawful job on top of so many other restrictions, it seems like a music career is out of the cards. Maybe he can find a way to loop around this presumed interpretation, which shouldn’t be too hard to explain in legal terms. But nevertheless, we doubt that the court would feel comfortable with that level of visibility and exposure, especially as it hasn’t really helped the debacle so far.

Regardless, 6ix9ne did promise to stay “squeaky clean” when he signed a new deal with Kartel Records, and that was before all this probation hassle. Perhaps that merely interrupted his process rather than reflecting its shakiness, so the benefit of the doubt could yield some positive results now that he’s out. Or, on the other hand, it means that Tekashi will have to work that much harder to prove himself right.

Man Convicted Of Selling Fatal Drugs To Mac Miller Released From Prison

by

After Mac Miller tragically passed away in 2018 due to a drug overdose, the federal court charged three men with selling him fake oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl that led to his death. Stephen Walter and Ryan Ryan Reavis are serving their 17 and ten-year sentences, respectively, for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances resulting in death. This was after they struck a plea deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty to one count of fentanyl distribution. But federal authorities haven’t said much about Cameron James Pettit’s sentence, and according to a Bureau of Prisons representative, he’s already a free man.

Moreover, reports relayed that authorities released one of the drug dealers charged over Mac Miller’s death from the Federal Correctional Institution in Mendota, California on October 11, about five years after authorities arrested him. According to TMZ, no court records indicate that Cameron James Pettit ever pleaded guilty to any charges while in federal custody, and that he remained there ever since he pleaded not guilty during his 2019 arraignment. It’s unclear exactly what to make of this whole situation, especially since we had no idea what the drug dealer’s sentence was.

Regardless, Mac Miller fans probably focused on much better news this week concerning the rapper, which is that his unreleased album Balloonerism will come out in early 2025. “Many of Malcolm’s fans are aware of Balloonerism, a full-length album that Malcolm created around the time of the release of Faces in 2014,” his estate expressed in a statement. “It is a project that was of great importance to Malcolm – to the extent that he commissioned artwork for it and discussions concerning when it should be released were had regularly, though ultimately GOOD AM and subsequent albums ended up taking precedence.

“We believe the project showcases both the breadth of his musical talents and fearlessness as an artist,” Mac Miller’s estate continued. “Given that unofficial versions of the album have circulated online for years and that releasing Balloonerism was something that Malcolm frequently expressed being important to him, we felt it most appropriate to present an official version of the project to the world.”

Young Thug Has Lived An Entire Lifetime Since Coming Home From Prison

by

Young Thug has the whole world watching him these days following his release from the YSL RICO trial on a plea deal and 15 years of probation. He got out on October 31, and by the next day, he was already FaceTiming T.I. and linking up with him to celebrate his freedom. It didn’t take long for Thugger to return to social media either, with him tweeting out “Real plea deal jack” and “Wham [Lil Baby] let’s drop one on these rats peter” on November 2 and 3, respectively. That last tweet sparked an ongoing conversation about his seemingly fractured bond with Gunna, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

All of this is to say that the hip-hop space and beyond is very interested to see what the Atlanta rapper will do next. Furthermore, this idea became even more relevant considering the community service guidelines as part of Young Thug’s plea deal. On November 6, he called in via FaceTime to a conversation that his lawyer Brian Steel held with law students at Atlanta’s Emory University. Already giving back to the community!

Young Thug’s Most Recent Public Move

Now, though, there are more people than ever wondering about Young Thug’s relationship with Gunna, which seems at an all-time low. Last Saturday (November 9), the former tweeted and deleted a scathing message towards the latter, and we’re still no closer to finding out whether this was the result of a hack or a legitimate shot. Either way, Wunna’s brother reportedly said “the feeling is mutual,” and neither side has provided a message of clarification at press time. Either way, a lot of fans think that we might get new music sooner than we anticipated. Thug, Travis Scott, and Lil Baby hit the studio up on Sunday (November 10).

With all this in mind, Young Thug kept himself pretty busy in these first two weeks out of jail, all things considered. The hip-hop world continues to react to his freedom and movement as of late, sparking up a lot of debate and different interpretations. What can we expect from the next two weeks? We don’t know, but we’re sure that they will also cause a splash.
