Tekashi 6ix9ine Freed After 90 Days With ‘Maduro‑Signed’ SpongeBob Toy

The release puts him back under strict court rules that can send him to jail again if he slips.

Overview

  • The rapper was released Friday from MDC Brooklyn after about 90 days, his attorney Lance Lazzaro and the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed.
  • Footage shows him walking out with paperwork and a SpongeBob doll he says Nicolás Maduro signed, with outlets noting Maduro is also held at MDC while the autograph itself remains unverified.
  • He posted the clip to Instagram, declared “Fresh OUT THE FEDS,” and put on a massive diamond chain handed to him at the curb.
  • The sentence followed reported violations of his supervised release from his RICO case, including cocaine and MDMA possession and a battery incident at a Florida mall.
  • Reports say a judge added one year to his supervised release, leaving him at risk of more jail time if he breaks the rules again.
