Tekashi 6ix9ine is taking any opportunity he can to ask for an early release from his prison sentence even though he is expected to be released in August.

Tekashi’s lawyer has written a letter to the judge expressing serious concerns about the rapper’s well-being behind bars, claiming he suffers from asthma and catching COVID-19 could be a serious issue for him. Adding that last year, Tekashi was diagnosed with bronchitis and sinusitis and was hospitalized for treatment.

The lawyer says recently Tekashi has shortness of breath but was allegedly unable to see a doctor.
