        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tekashi 6ix9ine contemplated suicide during his stint behind bars for his role in the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, he revealed in a new interview.</p><p>Tekashi, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, opened up about his jailhouse struggles in a sit-down with <strong>Fox 5 New York reporter Lisa Evers.</strong></p><p>&#8220;The pressure is so strong,&#8221; the 24-year-old rapper said. &#8220;Mentally, I think people would have attempted suicide. At a point in jail, I thought about it. It’s so much stress, so much pressure, because you’re seeing yourself on the news every day &#8212; this, that and a third, when is this going to come to an end?&#8221;</p><p>The Bushwick, Brooklyn-born provocateur was labeled a snitch for taking the stand against his Nine Trey gang members &#8212; a move that spared him decades in prison on racketeering conspiracy and other charges.</p><p>He ultimately <strong>was sentenced to two years</strong> in federal prison, including time served, but <strong>was released 17 months later</strong> in April due to the coronavirus pandemic, and ordered to serve out another four months <strong>on home confinement.</strong></p><p>Lawyers for the &#8220;Gummo&#8221; rapper argued for his early release because he has asthma &#8212; a condition that landed him in the hospital while incarcerated.</p><p>&#8220;With the asthma and the coronavirus, I caught bronchitis once and two asthma attacks in prison,&#8221; he told Fox. &#8220;When I caught bronchitis, they sent me to the hospital and the doctor said, &#8216;What’s going on in that jail? Why is it so cold in that jail?&#8217; I remember, I’m handcuffed &#8230; to the bed.&#8221;</p><p>In May, Tekashi <strong>defended singing to the feds,</strong> saying his crew turned on him by plotting to kill him, with one sleeping with the mother of his child.</p><p>He again addressed his critics in the new interview, saying testifying was the only way to survive.</p><p>&#8220;The audience understands it, the world, the public understands it, but they’ll paint it like, &#8216;Well, we don&#8217;t understand, this guy’s a snitch,&#8217;&#8221; he said. &#8220;But what’s the definition of a snitch? I feel like the definition of a snitch and definition of a rat is telling on your friends.&#8221;</p><p>Tekashi now rolls around the city with eight bodyguards and has been <strong>recently spotted hitching a ride</strong> on the F train without a mask on.</p><p>He told Fox that he&#8217;s in a good place &#8220;mentally&#8221; &#8212; though those close to him <strong>fear for his safety.</strong></p><p>“God has built me so strong,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You know that saying, ‘What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger&#8217;? So basically I feel like I’m not invincible but I feel like I’m at the peak of my mental state, where I’m just like, ‘I’ll be fine.&#8217;&#8221;</p><p>More of Tekashi&#8217;s interview is set to air Thursday.</p>]]></content:encoded>
