NEW YORK — Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine is sharing a jail housing unit with fallen hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, the Daily News has learned.

The two rappers are both housed on the same dorm-style floor at MDC Brooklyn, where they’re sharing space with big-time crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried, 6ix9ine’s lawyer confirmed Tuesday.

The “GUMMO” performer, born Daniel Hernandez, struck a deal with federal prosecutors earlier this month to serve a month behind bars for violating conditions of his supervised release in his federal racketeering and firearms case.

TMZ previously reported that he was being held in isolation for his safety, but his lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, confirmed he’d been moved out of solitary confinement in the jail’s “Special Housing Unit” on Friday.

“He was transferred to that same unit that P. Diddy is in. How they’re getting along, I have no information as to that,” Lazzaro said Tuesday.

Hernandez, who famously turned informant against members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods gang five years ago, violated the terms of his release by leaving Florida without permission to travel to Las Vegas, failing to comply with mandatory drug testing, and testing positive for methamphetamine.

He had just a few more months to go on supervised release before his Oct. 29 arrest.

“He’s not happy, but he understands and accepts his responsibility,” Lazzaro said. “He’s looking forward to getting out. He’s probably going to be at home in another three weeks, so he realizes it’s not for a long time.”

The defense lawyer said “nothing has changed, as far as the food or anything like that,” in terms of conditions at MDC Brooklyn, which is notorious for violence, medical mistreatment, rotten and infested food and filthy conditions.

“It’s still deplorable,” he said.

Combs, 55, faces racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and other charges, and is accused of using his business empire to sexually abuse, drug and coerce women into participating in marathon, drug-fueled sex parties he called “Freak Offs.”

Combs’ attorneys have made repeated efforts to get him released on $50 million bond. On Friday, prosecutors accused him of running a blackmail and public-relations campaign from behind bars, saying they uncovered evidence he was tasking family members and associates with contacting potential witnesses. Meanwhile, his lawyers have demanded a hearing into how federal authorities obtained his jail cell notes.
