Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine began a 90-day federal prison sentence on January 6, 2026, after surrendering at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His incarceration follows violations of supervised release, including drug possession and a mall assault, after his 2018 RICO conviction. The surrender was livestreamed by influencer Adin Ross, drawing widespread attention as 6ix9ine removed his ankle monitor and joked about fleeing. His sentence was delayed due to a violent home invasion at his Florida home. He will serve time in protective segregation due to his high profile, with plans to resume his career after release.
