Tekashi 6ix9ine sent his glamour model girlfriend a $35,000 Rolex from prison, as he faces racketeering, conspiracy murder, assault, drugs, robbery and firearms charges.
Despite languishing in jail as he awaits trial for racketeering and firearms charges, the embattled rapper, 22, found time to send his love Jade a diamond-studded watch for her birthday.
Jade celebrated her 22nd birthday on Tuesday in New York City, and though unable to attend, Tekashi sent her a 41mm Rolex, said to be customised with 18k white and rose gold and 24 carats of VS diamonds.

The lavish gift was hand-delivered to Jade by celebrity jeweller and ardent Tekashi supporter JimmyBoi.
Thanking her beau, who is facing a 25 years to life prison sentence for the gift, Jade posted a photo of herself with it, saying, ‘Thank you baby 🙂 your the best even when your not around.'(sic)
Keeping a positive attitude despite the multiple charges faced by her boyfriend, Jade posted a photo of the pair writing: ‘Minor set back for a MAJOR come back.’
Tekashi pleaded not guilty to federal racketeering and firearms charges in New York on Monday morning.
The FeFe rapper has not been cleared however in that racketeering case, and is still facing six counts and a sentence of 25 years to life in prison for his alleged involvement in multiple acts involving murder, robbery, extortion, and distribution of controlled substances.

A pre-trial conference is set for January 22 and the trial is scheduled for September.
The rapper pleaded guilty to one felony count of using a child in a sexual performance in 2015.
In October he was sentenced to four years probation for this offence, and more recently he had pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for a separate assault charge on a NY police officer, according to Vulture.
Tekashi, real name Daniel Hernandez, is currently sitting with neutral inmates at a federal facility after being discharged from Metropolitan Detention Center on Wednesday.
His exit came just days after a grand jury indicted him and five other members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods on racketeering charges.

There was no transfer facility listed however for Hernandez, as is standard when a prisoner is released from the MDC.
The indictment alleges that the violent episodes involving 6ix9ine included the July shooting of a bystander in Brooklyn and the gunpoint robbery of one of the gang’s rivals last spring.
On Wednesday, defense attorney Lance Lazzaro said in a statement that his client was ‘completely innocent of all charges.’

‘An entertainer who portrays a “gangster image” to promote his music does not make him a member of an enterprise,’ said Lazzaro.
‘Mr. Hernandez became a victim of this enterprise and later took steps by firing employees and publicly denounced this enterprise through a morning show. Threats were then made against his life which resulted in this case being brought immediately.’
Hernandez has previously spent time in jail for assault and drug offences.
He rose to fame in late 2017 when his debut single Gummo hit the charts and peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
His subsequent debut mixtape debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 album chart.
