Daniel Hernandez, the rapper known as Tekashi 6ix9ine, turned himself in on Tuesday to the same Brooklyn jail where Nicolás Maduro and his wife are currently being held
He arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park at 2 p.m. which was the prearranged surrender time.
The rapper will serve 90 days behind bars.
Hernandez was sentenced to three months behind bars for violating the terms of his supervised release.
He was indicted in 2018 in a federal racketeering case that targeted members of a criminal group with whom he worked.
After pleading guilty to conspiracy and other charges, he testified against members of the group for leniency.
His attorney says Hernandez expects to be segregated from the general population, likely in the same section of the federal detention center as high profile inmates like Maduro and Luigi Mangione.
The rapper is looking forward to serving his sentence, getting this part of his life behind him and resume his music career, his attorney said.
