Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has surrendered to federal authorities to begin a 90-day jail sentence, with the final moments of his freedom broadcast live by streamer Adin Ross in a bizarre spectacle that has drawn both fascination and condemnation online.
The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, turned himself in to the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn on Tuesday after a judge ruled he had violated the terms of his supervised release. The livestreamed handover has highlighted the stark contrast between the rapper's online persona and the grim reality of the notorious federal facility where he will now be held.
