Tekashi 6ix9ine claims that he and former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro slept with their beds right next to each other at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The 29 year old rapper detailed the arrangement in a live stream with Adin Ross and N3ON shortly after his release from the facility on April 3 2026. He described how Maduro took the bed he had originally been assigned while he shifted to the one previously used by Sean Diddy Combs in the same dormitory style unit.
6ix9ine provided a full account of the encounter during the conversation.
“I don’t want to bug him like I don’t want to seem like a fan of that little girl because as soon as he came in like I was like yo whatever you need like you know because all right so my bed is neon and literally I swear to God on Easter I’m not gonna lie the end of my bed is neon and the start of my bed is Maduro”
he explained. When the interviewer reacted with “What” and followed up by asking if they were sleeping basically together 6ix9ine responded
“Yeah like he took so he took my bed last year and I took Diddys bed.”
He continued with confirmation on the Diddy bed before addressing a follow up question about common stains with
“I mean I dont know but it was a lot of tape and shit.”
Finally he added
“So I took Diddys bed and Maduro slept like right across from me”
and noted
“I see I see I saved that for your stream.”
6ix9ine surrendered himself to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on January 6 2026 to serve a 90 day sentence for violations of his supervised release that followed his earlier racketeering case. Maduro was transferred to the facility in January 2026 after United States authorities captured him in Caracas and he faces federal charges including narco terrorism narcotics offenses and corruption. Diddy Combs had occupied space in the Brooklyn center until his transfer to another location in late 2025. The multi bed layout in certain housing units there makes close proximity possible under standard operations.
The claim prompts questions about the feasibility of such adjacency given the special administrative measures that federal officials apply to high risk inmates like Maduro which typically involve 24 hour monitoring and restricted movement. 6ix9ine has built a career on sharing unfiltered stories from his legal challenges and this one appears to follow the same playbook by turning a prison experience into engaging content. Observers have reacted with a mix of entertainment and doubt focusing on whether the details align with the strict protocols at the facility. The episode illustrates how federal detention can bring together unlikely figures from music politics and business in shared spaces even as verification of specific claims remains challenging.
