Earlier this week, Tekashi69 was arrested at NYC’s JFK Airport for a warrant in Houston where he choked a 16-year-old boy for recording a video of him. This resulted in 69 being denied bail and heading to New York’s infamous Rikers Island prison.
Now according to TMZ, 69 has been put in the Contagious Disease Unit of Rikers. This is mostly meant for inmmates going through serious illnesses but also for the ones who’s own safety is in danger and can’t be around the general population.
69 is under serious restrictions here. He’s being held in isolation, can’t have any contact with inmates, and when he has his one hour of recreational time, that will only be spent interacting with correctional officers.
69 is expected to be held at Rikers Island until July 20 for a new hearing. We will see if he’s denied bail again or is a free man for sure again.
