The FEFE rapper, real name Daniel Hernandez, was originally set to leave jail around earlyAugust.
Engelmayer had made his decision Wednesday, but it wasnt made public immediately.
Where will Tekashi be confined?
Court documents indicate, however, that he will live at an address approved by the defendants probation officer.
Can he use social media?
I dont know of any restrictions that would prevent him from going on social media, Florio said.
(As of publication, Hernandez has not posted anywhere.)
Can he leave the house?
Home confinement means that Hernandez cant leave the house except for legal visits and medical appointments, Florio said.
If Hernandez wants to leave, his probation officer has to give him permission.
He cant go to the grocery store or anything like that, Florio explained.
Its like being in jail, except that its at home.
Think house arrest: You cant leave home without authorization.
Can he have visitors?
Right now, because of coronavirus-related social distancing, nobody should be hanging out outside their homes.
So, Hernandez shouldnt have visitors for the same reasons nobody else should.
If social distancing werent an issue, however, family members could typically visit people on house arrest.
Can Tekashi drop music right now?
Florio said he is permitted to release music.
Is he going to start making music right away?
Yes, Florio said.
She added, Hopefully, maybe he can build one where hes staying.
Does he have to wear an ankle monitor?
(Generally speaking, GPS monitoring involves an ankle monitor.)
What happens when hes on supervised release?
Florio said that Hernandez hasnt received all of the rules of his supervised release yet.
Will Tekashi go into witness protection?
Federal prosecutors had previously saidwitness protectionmight be necessary because of Hernandezs extensivesnitching, but hes still not interested.
He plans on resuming his career.
Okay, but doesnt he need protection?
Yep, and he already has the team in place.
He has hired security, Lazzaro said.
Hes got a full security team monitoring him 24 hours a day.
The Feds are not providing security while hes on home confinement.
Lazzaro explained that federal authorities dont offer security unless you go into witness protection.
