BROOKLYN — TEKASHI 6IX9INE turned himself in for a three-month sentence in federal prison after pleading guilty to violating the terms of his supervised release, according to ABC7. 

The rapper, whose legal name is Daniel Hernandez, was ordered to report to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park on Tuesday. 

The sentence marks the second time in just over a year that Hernandez has been returned to custody for parole violations. In November 2024, he received a six-week prison term after admitting to five violations, including unauthorized travel, failure to comply with drug testing requirements and a positive test for methamphetamines.

Hernandez will join several prominent figures currently held at MDC, including Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Luigi Mangione, the suspected murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
