Tekashi 6ix9ine Walks Free In Messy Wig And Sweats… Plus He’s Carrying A SpongeBob Toy Signed By Who?! (DETAILS)
Media Take Out has the first shots of the rainbow-haired “rat” making his grand exit! Tekashi 6ix9ine(Daniel Hernandez) was officially released from the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn today, April 4, 2026—and honey, the “glamour” was nowhere to be found.
Walking out into the crisp Brooklyn air, 6ix9ine looked like he’d been through it. He was rocking a baggy grey sweatsuit and a jet-black, matted wig that looked like it was snatched off a mannequin in a hurry. But the most “6ix9ine” part of the whole exit? He was clutching a SpongeBob SquarePants plush toy that he claims was signed by his “prison pal,” former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro!
Why Was He Locked Up This Time?
If you’re having déjà vu, you’re not alone. This latest stint wasn’t for a new crime, but for being “tardy” to his own freedom rules.
- The Violation: 6ix9ine was sentenced to three months back in January 2026 after pleading guilty to violating the terms of his supervised release.
- The “Party” Problem: Authorities caught him traveling without permission and, even worse, he tested positive for methamphetamines, cocaine, and MDMA during a raid at his Miami home last year.
- The Sentence: The judge finally got fed up with the “trolling” and sent him back to the MDC to reflect on his choices.
The “Snitch” History: A Timeline Of Terror
For those who forgot how we got here, 6ix9ine’s legal history is longer than his list of enemies:
- 2015: Pled guilty to a felony count of use of a child in a sexual performance.
- 2018: Arrested on federal racketeering and firearms charges as a member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. He was facing 47 years to life.
- 2019: The “Snitch” Era. He famously turned state’s evidence, testifying against his former gang members to bag a reduced two-year sentence.
- 2020: Released early to home confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic and his asthma.
- 2024-2026: Multiple parole violations for drug use and unauthorized travel, leading to several “short” stays behind bars.
The $2 Million “Welcome Home” Gift
While he might have walked out looking like a “scrub” in that wig, his pockets are still heavy. Media Take Out can confirm that celebrity jeweler Vobara met him right at the gate with a $2.2 million “Apex Redemption” diamond chain.
The chain reportedly features 400 carats of black and white diamonds—because nothing says “I just spent three months in a cell with world leaders” like two million dollars worth of ice around your neck!
Is 6ix9ine finally going to stay on the straight and narrow, or will that signed SpongeBob be his only friend left by the end of 2026? Let us know in the comments!
