There have been rumors of his plans following his release from prison which apparently include getting back into the rap game. Apparently, the self-proclaimed "King Of New York" will be leaving the city following his prison stint to a secretive location that he plans to surround with security guards. We'll see if that ends up actually working out for him, especially since he does plan to resume his rap career.

Discussions have taken place on who would actually take on the job of becoming 6ix9ine's personal security guard especially since he testified against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. However, it turns out 6ix9ine's original manager will be the person who ends up working as the rapper's full-time security guard. We'll keep you posted on any more details surrounding 6ix9ine's release.
