Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, was released from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), where Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro signed his SpongeBob SquarePants doll inside a federal lockup. The 29-year-old musician celebrated his release by flashing Maduro's purported John Hancock along with multimillion-dollar bling. Maduro has been housed at MDC since January when he was captured by US forces. Tekashi had reported to MDC in January after violating probation terms by assaulting a man and hiding MDMA and cocaine in his bedroom. He was originally sent to the clink in 2019 for his involvement in the Nine Trey Gangsta Blood gang but was released early due to COVID.
