6ix9ine is preparing to begin a 90-day federal prison sentence and took to a livestream to clarify one thing before turning himself in: he is not suicidal.

During a recent stream with Adin Ross, the controversial artist addressed speculation and rumors head-on as he discussed his upcoming incarceration.

"I am not suicidal. I do not want to kill myself," 6ix9ine said. "I'm literally going in there for 90 days. I didn't hang myself. Clip this. I did not hang myself. Nothing. I'm not suicidal. I'm nothing. And I'm going to be very cautious."

Ross said that he would personally drop the rapper off to begin serving his sentence, adding that he plans to stream the moment and surprise 6ix9ine with a gift upon his release.

"I'm going to get you a really fucking nice gift when you get out. When you're free. Oh my god. I'm going to get you a nice gift," said Ross.

The comments come weeks after 6ix9ine appeared in federal court in Manhattan, where Paul Engelmayer sentenced him to three months in prison for multiple violations of his supervised release. Those violations included possession of cocaine and MDMA, as well as a battery incident inside a Florida shopping mall.

The judge also imposed an additional year of supervised release. 6ix9ine is scheduled to report to prison on January 6, 2026, and has requested to serve his time at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, where he was previously incarcerated.

During sentencing, Hernandez delivered an emotional statement to the court, detailing years of harassment and violent incidents he says stem from his cooperation with federal authorities in his 2019 racketeering case. He described being removed from restaurants, assaulted in public spaces, threatened at events, and even having a coffin left outside his home.

"Each scenario, I walked away," he told the judge. "How many times do I have to walk away for you guys to see it's a pattern?"

Judge Engelmayer acknowledged the danger 6ix9ine faces but also criticized him for repeated poor decisions, characterizing his post-release conduct as a mix of progress and ongoing setbacks. Ultimately, the court concluded that incarceration was necessary to address continued violations.

Despite the sentence, 6ix9ine insisted on Ross's livestream that he is mentally stable and simply preparing to do his time.

"I'm going in for 90 days," he said. "That's it."
