6ix9ine has turned himself in to begin a three-month sentence for violating supervised release.
On Tuesday (January 6), Tekashi surrendered to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he will spend the next approximately 90 days. 6ix9ine’s surrender turned into a huge event, with streamer Adin Ross dropping the rapper and spending the next few months livestreaming Tekashi’s final moments as a free man.
In a video shared on social media, 6ix9ine cut off his ankle monitor with the help of social media influencers SteveWillDoIt and Adin before joking about running away to Miami. “Thank you so much, see you in three months❤️,” the rapper wrote in the caption of the post.
About a year after serving time in prison for his role in a 2018 gang RICO case, 6ix9ine is back in jail for violating three conditions of his supervised release. Last March, police discovered cocaine and ecstasy during a raid on the rapper’s South Florida home. Four months later he admitted drug possession. While awaiting sentencing, he broke the law again when he attacked a man at a mall in Palm Beach County, Florida.
6ix9ine was initially scheduled to be sentenced in November. However, he was able to postpone the date after his home was violently broken into, with multiple masked gunmen ransacking the house and briefly holding the rapper’s mom hostage.
Tekashi had been campaigning before turning himself in, appearing on multiple podcast platforms. During a recent interview with Adin Ross on Kick Live, 6ix9ine insisted that he was not suicidal and cited the cause of Jeffrey Epstein’s death.
