Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, who is serving time on home confinement, had to be relocated Sunday after the location of his rented home was leaked, TMZ reported.
The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was released from a New York prison from prison four months early into home confinement after his lawyer argued he was at a higher risk for COVID-19 symptoms because of asthma.
According to TMZ, a person who lives across the street from where Hernandez posted a photo of the rapper standing on a balcony and posted his address. A video circulated on Twitter reportedly showed the rapper on his balcony, which prompted his address to be shared online. Hernandez had been living at a rented property at an undisclosed location, according to previous reports.
Lance Lazzaro, the rapper's attorney, confirmed to TMZ that Hernandez had to be moved to a new location due to the address leak and said the government had been made aware of his relocation.
Hernandez, 24, was arrested in 2018 on charges related to his time in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang. He faced up to life in prison and pleaded guilty to charges he faced in January 2019. In September, he testified against members of his former gang. A federal judge sentenced Hernandez to 24 months in prison, though he had already served more than half of his sentence.
"Y'all could never cooperate with the government and come back," Hernandez said in an Instagram Live video on Friday. "Y'all could never do that. I'm a living legend at the age of 24 years old."
After his release, a judge allowed Hernandez to film music videos in his backyard for up to two hours per week. Hernandez last week released the music video for his new song "GOOBA." He had worked on music while in prison as part of a $10 million record deal.
