The rapper is joining Venezuela’s president and the man charged with shooting United Healthcare’s CEO in a lock – up in New York City.
The 29 – year – old artist, who is in a difficult situation and whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, reported to the Metropolitan Detention Center in his hometown of Brooklyn on Tuesday to complete his latest prison term.
He arrived at the jail gates in a luxury van with internet personality Adin Ross and a camera crew as he surrendered himself.
This facility is the only federal jail in New York City, but it has so many problems that some judges have refused to send people there, and others have described it as “[a certain description]” because of its poor conditions and constant violence.
It currently holds Venezuelan President [name] and his wife, Cilia Flores, as well as [name], who is accused of killing [name], the leader of the country’s largest health insurer.
Over the years, MDC Brooklyn has housed a number of other well – known inmates, including music stars [names] and [names] and a long – time associate of Jeffrey Epstein.
Hernandez’s lawyers did not immediately respond to emails asking for comments on Tuesday, but they had previously said that the rapper was looking forward to finishing his sentence so that he could restart his music career.
Hernandez admitted last year to assaulting a man and possessing drugs, which violated the terms of his supervised release in a gang – related case.
He was [ordered] to serve three more months in federal custody. He was previously given a [penalty] in 2024 for breaking the terms of his supervised release.
Hernandez became famous when his song “Gummo” was released in 2017, but the next year he pleaded guilty to being involved with a violent New York – based gang, the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.
He was sentenced to [a certain term] in 2019, followed by five years of supervised release for his cooperation in the racketeering case against other gang members.
He was released from federal prison several months earlier during the peak of the COVID – 19 pandemic in 2020.
Hernandez’s latest sentence is related to small amounts of cocaine and ecstasy found at his Miami home during a police raid. Prosecutors say he also punched a man who mocked him at a Florida mall for his cooperation against gang members.
