Tekashi 6ix9ine shares prison bid plans

According to TMZ, they talked to the Poppa rapper last week about his prison sentence. He told the outlet that he is not worried about how he is going to spend his prison bid because he is going to use the three months to get himself in shape.

At the moment, Hernandez weighs 190 pounds, and his goal is to go down to 120 pounds by the end of his sentence. He also told TMZ how he is going to achieve this, that is, by eating only one box of Oreos in a day.

This is not the first time 6ix9ine has been in prison. However, he was released on probation in 2020 after he was involved in a serious racketeering case with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. He testified against them after saying they betrayed him.

The reason why Tekashi is back in prison is because of a house raid that happened earlier this year. The police found drugs in his property.
