Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has gained a massive amount of weight since being released from prison. MTO News has learned that the rapper has put on as much as 50 lbs.

This is what he used to look like:
Tekashi, real name Daniel Hernandez, is a rapper, songwriter, and convicted felon. His music has been marked by an aggressive style of rapping, while his controversial public persona is characterized by his distinctive rainbow-colored hair, extensive tattoos, public feuds with fellow celebrities, and legal issues.
He pled guilty to nine charges including conspiracy to commit murder and armed robbery in February 2019, and was given a two-year prison sentence after testifying for the prosecution. In April 2020, he was granted early release during the COVID-19 pandemic following fears over his vulnerability to the disease due to his asthma condition. He was put on house arrest for the remainder of his term.
