6ix9ine Scores $50K Blackjack Win From Prison
6ix9ine’s Prison Gambling Story
Controversial rapper 6ix9ine, also known as Tekashi 69 or Tekashi 6ix9ine, is currently serving a short three-month prison term for breaching his supervised release conditions. Despite his incarceration, the 29-year-old artist, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, found a way to continue gambling online.
The crypto betting platform Rainbet, where 6ix9ine serves as an ambassador, shared footage showing him placing a high-stakes blackjack bet of $50,000 while in prison.
Unfazed by Controversy
The video starts with an automated message indicating the call is from a federal prison. In the clip, 6ix9ine is seen speaking from his cell phone, while others are gathered in a jewelry store’s back room negotiating a $50,000 payment for a custom piece. They decide to wager the full amount on a single blackjack hand through 6ix9ine’s Rainbet account.
The game seemed challenging initially, as 6ix9ine held a 13 against the dealer’s 10. However, against the odds, the dealer busts, giving 6ix9ine a $50,000 victory.
Rainbet applauded his dedication, commenting on social media about the rapper’s commitment to gambling despite his incarceration. This isn’t 6ix9ine’s first gambling venture from behind bars. Earlier in January, he disclosed that he paid $10,000 to get a phone in his cell and wagered $15,000 on blackjack.
Shortly after being imprisoned, 6ix9ine posted a cryptic message on social media hinting at his comeback, referencing Rick Ross’s career era.
High-Profile Figures Embrace Rainbet
Rainbet continues to draw attention from prominent personalities beyond 6ix9ine. Streamer Adin Ross, who accompanied the rapper to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, is among them. Other notable affiliates include professional boxer Ryan Garcia and influencer Cuffem, both endorsing the platform.
Adin Ross, often associated with gambling streams, has faced legal scrutiny in the US, alongside Canadian rapper Drake, over allegations of promoting illegal gambling. They assert that any gambling was done with their own funds rather than support from the crypto casino Stake.
Earlier in 2005, Ross made headlines by giving away $20,000 to a random couple at a casino, further highlighting his high-profile presence in the gambling community.
