January 6, 2026
Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine is joining Venezuela’s president and the man charged with gunning down United Healthcare’s CEO in a notorious federal lockup in New York City. The embattled 29-year-old artist, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, reported to the Metropolitan Detention Center in his native Brooklyn on Tuesday to serve out his latest stint behind bars. The facility is so troubled that some judges have refused to send people there. It currently houses Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing Brian Thompson, the leader of the country’s biggest health insurer.
