As of Friday (March 3), Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine is partially a free man after a judge ruled in his favor for an early release from behind bars and into house arrest. However, with less than a full 72 hours out of prison, he's left many folks wondering after a comment from his Instagram account was left on Instagram's celebrity gossip hub The Shade Room on Sunday (April 5).

The comment in question read, “Coming to the rescue,” on a post from The Shade Room regarding the Los Angeles mayor offering rewards for people who snitch on businesses that break the city’s shelter-in-place rule.
