The word is Tekashi 6ix9ine will be back roaming the streets of his hometown of New York in early 2020 after his expert testimony in the trial of two of his former Nine Trey Blood brothers.

Or maybe he's already out.

2 Chainz thinks he ran into Tekashi during a recent trip to the Big Apple.

Of course, that's not really 6ix9ine. New Yorkers will recognize that as the giant inflatable rat that the unions put in front of buildings or construction projects that have done something to piss the union off.

But it brings up an interesting topic. Do you think 6ix9ine, being the troll that he is, will embrace his snitch status when he resumes his career?
