6ix9ine Out of Prison with Priceless Diamond Chain
3 Apr
Summary
- Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine received a nearly 400-carat diamond chain upon release.
- The custom jewelry piece, titled 'The Apex Redemption,' features elaborate pendants.
- 6ix9ine was released early due to the holiday weekend falling on his release date.
Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine emerged from MDC Brooklyn on Friday, having served three months of his sentence. As he stepped out, he was presented with a spectacular, "priceless" diamond chain, weighing over four pounds and boasting nearly 400 carats. Titled "The Apex Redemption; The Return of 6ix9ine," the custom piece by Vobara Miami includes pendants with 165 carats of diamonds and sapphires, and an 186-carat lion pendant.
The "BILLY" hitmaker's early release occurred because his original release date landed on a holiday weekend, adhering to federal prison guidelines that permit release on the preceding weekday. This marked a significant moment for the artist, who collaborated with Vobara Miami on the design, expressing excitement about "creating a moment."
Tekashi 6ix9ine's incarceration stemmed from multiple federal charges, including racketeering and narcotics conspiracy, to which he pleaded guilty in 2019. His cooperation with authorities led to several convictions of former gang members. He later violated supervised release conditions by possessing cocaine and MDMA, resulting in his return to prison.
