6ix9ine has revealed that he plans to use his three-month prison sentence to drop 70 pounds.

The rapper spoke to TMZ in Spanish after being sentenced for probation violations, revealing that he thought Judge Engelmayer’s sentence was fair. 6ix9ine believes he’ll be placed in a secure unit due to being deemed a "snitch," and therefore he’s not worried about being attacked.

One thing he is thinking about, though, is losing weight. The rapper revealed to TMZ his plans to drop from 190 pounds to 120 pounds by eating just one box of Oreos every day during his time behind bars.

On Friday (December 5), Judge Engelmayer handed 6ix9ine three months in prison and an additional year of supervised release. He has to report to prison on January 6.

During the hearing for his sentence, 6ix9ine pleaded with the judge in an emotional address to receive less time. In his plea, he asked for the judge to "walk a mile in [his] shoes" while explaining the harassment and violence he has received due to cooperating with federal authorities.

"Each scenario, I walked away," 6ix9ine said to the judge after detailing incidents like being threatened with fistfights and having a drink thrown in his face at a UFC fight in 2021. "How many times do I have to walk away for you guys to see it's a pattern?"

6ix9ine also claimed that it was difficult for him to work because "music execs" had "put a blackball" in place so he's "not able to perform."

"I need you to see the facts, and please have mercy," he said. "I take full responsibility. But mental health is a real thing."
