<p>Former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine have become unlikely prison pals. Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, who was released from prison on April 3, 2026, on &nbsp;Friday, bragged about Maduro signing his SpongeBob SquarePants doll, which he called "Sponge9ine", inside the Metropolitan Detention Centre (MDC) in Brooklyn. He was released early on Friday morning, April 3, 2026. He was serving a 90-day sentence for violating his supervised release.&nbsp;</p><p>On exiting the facility, 6ix9ine posted a video on his Instagram page. The video shows Tekashi showing the Nickelodeon toy in one hand and a stack of papers in the other hand. He excitedly grinned at his pals, “Look, Maduro signed it”, and read &nbsp;“, Maduro, second of April, Venezuela forever.” He was welcomed outside the prison walls by his pal, celebrity jeweller Vobara and was gifted a new $2.2 million 400-carat diamond chain of nearly four pounds.</p>

Dominican judge orders conditional release of US rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine in domestic violence case

<p>Renowned rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, whose real name is&nbsp;Daniel Hernández, has found himself in legal trouble once again. This time, he is&nbsp;facing domestic violence charges in the Dominican Republic. The 27-year-old artist was reportedly arrested on Wednesday in Santo Domingo and is currently held at a local jail, awaiting a court appearance scheduled for Thursday.</p>

<p>Details surrounding the alleged domestic violence incident have not been disclosed to the public. A judge will preside over the hearing to determine whether Tekashi 6ix9ine, known for hits like "FEFE," will be released on bond or remain in custody,&nbsp;as reported by the Associated Press.</p>

<p>This recent arrest follows a series of legal incidents involving the rapper. Just a month prior, Tekashi's girlfriend, Yailin La Más Viral, faced a felony charge after a physical altercation between the two. The police report, obtained by TMZ, revealed Tekashi's claims that Yailin struck him and his Bentley with a 2x4. She was also accused of kicking the car's sideview mirror and breaking the windshield.</p>

<p>Later, Yailin reportedly admitted to striking Tekashi’s car “to cause him financial hardship” after he allegedly took some of her money and passport. Tekashi also had a video of the fight, which he posted to his Instagram Stories, giving police probable cause to arrest Yailin for aggravated battery, witness tampering and felony criminal mischief.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, it was Tekashi who later paid Yailin’s $9,000 bond and helped her get out of prison. After getting released from prison,&nbsp;the female rapper insisted that she was the victim. “What an injustice truly … Everything you see is not how it appears to be,” she wrote in Spanish on her Instagram Story at the time.</p>

<p>Yailin also reposted a tweet that alleged Tekashi had hit her in the past and then he would start recording to get her reaction afterwards.</p>

<p>This recent arrest is not Tekashi's first brush with the law. Two months before the altercation with Yailin, he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a music producer working with her.

Tekashi 6ix9ine arrested on domestic violence charges in Dominican Republic: Report

<p>Released before his jail term was to end officially, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has created news ever since he came out of jail. The rapper, who released his new single 'Gooba' soon after coming of jail has claimed that Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande have bought Billboard No 1 slot.<br />
<br />
On May 8, the rapper whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, released his new single- the same day Bieber and Grande's song 'Stuck With You' too hit the charts. '<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/ariana-grande-makes-her-relationship-with-dalton-gomez-official-in-stuck-with-you-music-video-297513">Stuck With U' debut on Billboard No 1</a> with Doja Cat's 'Say So' remix with Nicki Minaj took the No. 2 slot. Hernandez' 'Gooba' was at No. 3.<br />
<br />
On Friday, a video was shared online of Hernandez claiming that the numbers were faked. The singer claimed that his song should have debut at No.1 because the song was streamed more than any others by "a landslide."<br />
<br />
The rapper mentioned about a forecast that major record labels receive before the publication of the Billboard charts. The message put 'Say So' at No. 1, 'Gooba' at No. 2 and 'Stuck with U' at No. 5.<br />
<br />
Hernandez alleged that Grande, 26, submitted 60,000 units "out of nowhere," which he called "completely illegal." He also accused her and Bieber of purchasing their No. 1 spot.<br />
<br />
The rapper further added that his team had launched an investigation and found "six credit cards" that had been used to purchase 30,000 units of Grade and Bieber's duet 'Stuck With U'. Billboard has reportedly declined to share information about who the six cards were linked to.<br />

"60,000 units came because we don't disclose our numbers until end of the week," Bieber wrote. "That's called strategy."<br />
<br />
"The rules are clear one credit card can buy max 4 copies. Anything over that the entire amount gets thrown out," Bieber said. "Neilsen company checks this and found all our sales were legit because our fans are amazing and bought them. Don't discredit our fan base with false info."<br />
<br />
"This is my song with Ariana Grande and I'm honored to work with her ..." Bieber concluded. "If you gonna say her name make sure you say mine because it's our song."<br />

'Stuck with U' raised "at least $0.80 from each sale of the track" which was donated to First Responders Children's Foundation, according to iTunes.</p>

Released before his jail term was to end officially, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has created news ever since he came out of jail. The rapper, who released his new single 'Gooba' soon after coming of jail has claimed that Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande have bought Billboard No 1 slot.

Released before his jail term was to end officially, rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine has created news ever since he came out of jail. The rapper, who released his new single 'Gooba' soon after coming of jail has claimed that Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande have bought Billboard No 1 slot. On May 8, the rapper whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, released his new single- the same day Bieber and Grande's song 'Stuck With You' too hit the charts. 'Stuck With U' debut on Billboard No 1 with Doja Cat's 'Say So' remix with Nicki Minaj took the No. 2 slot. Hernandez' 'Gooba' was at No. 3. On Friday, a video was shared online of Hernandez claiming that the numbers were faked. The singer claimed that his song should have debut at No.1 because the song was streamed more than any others by "a landslide." The rapper mentioned about a forecast that major record labels receive before the publication of the Billboard charts. The message put 'Say So' at No. 1, 'Gooba' at No. 2 and 'Stuck with U' at No. 5. Hernandez alleged that Grande, 26, submitted 60,000 units "out of nowhere," which he called "completely illegal." He also accused her and Bieber of purchasing their No. 1 spot. The rapper further added that his team had launched an investigation and found "six credit cards" that had been used to purchase 30,000 units of Grade and Bieber's duet 'Stuck With U'. Billboard has reportedly declined to share information about who the six cards were linked to. On Monday, Grande reacted to the rappers allegations and stated that her fans had boight the song making it the No.1 on Billboard.
