Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine will be serving three months in the same Brooklyn jail where Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife are being held, in addition to accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione.

Rapper Daniel Hernandez, better known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, voluntarily reported to the Metropolitan Detention Center on Tuesday, expressing an unusual aspiration to meet the former Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro.

In a conversation with TMZ prior to his surrender, Tekashi exclaimed, “I want to dance with Maduro!” This light-hearted comment alludes to Maduro’s well-publicized dance performances, which, according to The New York Times, had led some in the Trump administration to feel they were being mocked.

The rapper also shared his plans to invite Maduro for a card game session. Additionally, if he encounters Luigi Mangione, an alleged shooter, Tekashi intends to discuss the considerable support he enjoys on social media.

Tekashi is set to spend the next 90 days at MDC, following a guilty plea last year for breaking probation terms relating to a New York gang case. His offenses included assaulting an individual at a Florida shopping center and storing drugs at his residence. The facility is notorious for having housed high-profile inmates such as Ghislaine Maxwell, R. Kelly, and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

In an Instagram video on Monday, Tekashi spoke about all the “clout-worthy” encounters that he’s hoping to experience behind bars.

“Remember when I told you guys that I was in prison with Diddy, the president of Honduras, and possibly Sam Bankman-Fried from FTX? And you all thought I was making it up?” Tekashi recounted.

He added, “Now I’m about to meet the president of Venezuela. It seems I have this odd luck of being detained with presidents. Oh, and I’m set to meet Luigi too, Luigi Mangione. We’re going to play chess and eat ramen noodles together.”

Whether or not Tekashi will actually have the opportunity to meet Maduro and Mangione has yet to be seen, though he’s expected to be kept separate from the general population, likely in the same area as those high-profile men, his attorney told ABC 7.

As for Maduro, the Venezuelan president has been held at the MDC after a U.S. military operation captured him and his wife from their home in Caracas early Saturday morning and brought them to New York to face federal narco‑terrorism charges.

During their first court appearance on Monday, the former leader asserted they were “kidnapped” from their home and insisted that he’s “still the president” of his country.

Maduro and his wife pleaded not guilty. The couple is expected to remain detained at the MDC for the time being.

Mangione, who’s facing trial for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has also pleaded not guilty. He’s been at the MDC since his arrest in December 2024. A trial date has not yet been set.
