Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Surrenders to Face Three-Month Jail Sentence Amid Probation Violations
In a dramatic turn of events, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine surrendered himself at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn yesterday, marking the beginning of his three-month jail sentence for violating his probation following a plea deal on federal racketeering and firearms charges.
The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was seen being escorted into the facility alongside streamer Adin Ross, who had been live-streaming from outside the detention center as part of a send-off ceremony. However, things took a somber turn when Hernandez officially turned himself in, with Ross expressing his disappointment and frustration over the situation.
Hernandez is currently being held at the same facility where Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores are also being detained. Despite the challenges ahead, Hernandez has expressed his commitment to using this time constructively, dedicating himself to personal discipline, physical training, and improving his overall health. He also plans to continue working on new music and refining details for his upcoming tour plans.
This is not the first time Hernandez has been sentenced to prison; he was previously ordered back behind bars in 2022 due to a pair of incidents involving racketeering and firearm charges related to his involvement with the Nine Trey Bloods gang. In 2019, Hernandez pleaded guilty to nine charges, admitting that he had ordered a gang member to shoot at someone from a rival gang.
Hernandez's latest surrender comes after a decade marked by controversy and legal issues. Despite his rise to fame as a major streaming act in the late 2010s, he has been embroiled in numerous scandals and lawsuits over the years.
In a statement released earlier today, Hernandez's spokesperson, Cecilia Velázquez, confirmed that Hernandez had traveled from Miami to New York before surrendering, where he said goodbye to his family. Despite the limitations of his current situation, Velázquez added that Hernandez remains committed to staying focused and productive during his time in prison.

I don't get why everyone's so stoked about Tekashi 6ix9ine going to jail... Like, isn't he just serving a three-month sentence? 
It's not like he's gonna be locked up forever. And what's the big deal about him continuing to make music and work on his tour plans while in prison? 
Is that really something we should be celebrating? 
I mean, can't he just chill for a bit instead of being a productive convict? 
. It'll be interesting to see how his music career continues while he's locked up – hopefully he can use this time to focus on creating something meaningful 
.
I gotta feel bad for him tho 
he's been through so much drama over the years 
it's crazy how a kid from miami can turn his life around, but i guess 3 months in is better than none, right? 
anyway, i hope he stays on track with that personal discipline & physical training... 
and who knows maybe this time will be the start of a new beginning for him 
. on the bright side, at least he's taking this time to focus on himself and personal growth - that's something we can all get behind 
.
I mean, I feel bad for him but like he should know by now, right? Three months is nothing compared to some of the stuff he's done. And Adin Ross live-streaming from outside the detention center was pretty wild 
I'm not surprised Tekashi 6ix9ine is doing some time, to be honest. He's been making headlines for all the wrong reasons for a while now 
. Three months isn't too long, considering he's had multiple stints in the slammer already 
. I do hope he uses this time to reflect on his actions and maybe even come out with some new music - that'd be something 
. The fact that Adin Ross was live-streaming from outside the detention center is kinda weird tho... like, what's the protocol there? 
just saw that Tekashi 6ix9ine finally surrendered to face his jail sentence... it's been a wild ride watching him go from being one of the most popular streamers back in the day to facing serious legal troubles. I remember when he first blew up, people were all about his music and personality 
. It's crazy how quickly things can go from being a rising star to having your life fall apart 
. I'm not gonna lie, it's sad to see him go through this, but at the same time, I hope he learns a lot and comes out of this experience as a better person 
.
. There are gonna be temptations, there are gonna be temptations, and I'm not sure how well he'll hold out 
. Still, at least he's takin' it like a champ... for now 
.
.
.
. You'd think he'd use the time to reflect on his actions and turn his life around, instead of just chillin' in prison and makin' new music 
. I'm curious to see if this time is gonna change him for good or not... maybe he's finally ready to get serious about himself 
. i mean, the dude was on probation, and now he's paying the price 
. but you know what's crazy? people still love him 
. he's already talking about dedicating himself to personal discipline and physical training - that's the first step towards redemption, in my book 
. it's a chance for him to clear his head, focus on his music, and come out stronger on the other side 
- I hope he takes this opportunity to turn his life around and make some positive changes 
.
. And hey, at least he's taking this opportunity to work on himself, which is more than I can say for most people 
.
he's actually trying to turn his life around, focus on his health & music... let the dude live, fam
