Tekashi 6ix9ine Begins 3-Month Jail Term After Livestreamed Surrender in Brooklyn

The three-month term follows repeated violations of court-ordered supervision from his 2019 racketeering case.

Overview

  • He reported to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday to start the sentence for supervised-release violations.
  • The surrender was broadcast on Adin Ross’s stream, where creator Stephen Deleonardis cut off the rapper’s ankle monitor before he entered custody.
  • The punishment stems from breaches tied to his 2019 plea in the Nine Trey racketeering case following his cooperation with prosecutors.
  • It marks the second time he has been ordered back to jail, with the latest violations linked to incidents reported last year.
  • He is being held at MDC Brooklyn, a facility long criticized over safety and sanitation, and Ross later claimed he was placed in solitary for protective custody.
